Do you have any links to support what the blackout people are protesting? All I can find are references to people disliking the current facebook interface - the issues with poking at least are a reference to its current interface and wanting to go back to the "old" facebook. What are the new changes facebook are proposing? I hope they are considering what facebook users want, as I believe the protest is because many users prefer the previous iteration of facebook. Without bombarding you with too many links, here's some other writing I found: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081117151132AAsFlSN http://www.carlconrad.net/en/2008/11/facebook-blackout/ Thanks for your comment.

This could potentially mean a loss of all data input, of all friends lists, etc. Obviously, this isn't something people are waiting for, so that's why we're protesting against the changes. Why would you change something that is already working well? "Never change a winning website", I would suggest.
