Why Facebook Needs to Stop Reorganizing My Room! Until I was about fifteen, my mother cleaned my room. I didn’t ask her to clean it, but we’re Italian, and in an Italian household, a dirty corner or a dusty bookshelf is worse than canned pasta sauce; it’s just not part of our culture. Although I realize my mother had the best intentions, all I wanted to come home to my room to find things exactly as I’d left them. I still remember the exact feeling of irritation when I’d open my bedroom door and discover she’s “organized” things for me. It’s the same feeling I had about a month ago, when I logged onto my Facebook account.

Facebook keeps “upgrading” and I don’t like it. While I’m not suggesting our Facebook profiles (and the information contained within them) are “private,” I hate being forced to “upgrade” my homepage every five minutes to accommodate the ever-expanding Facebook universe.

Sister Maria Jesus Galan liked to keep up with her friends on Facebook, but her fondness for the site got her in trouble with her convent, Santo Domingo el Real in Toledo, Spain. She announced on her Facebook page she had been asked to leave after “disagreements over her online activities,” according to the Telegraph.

The 54-year-old had about 600 Facebook friends at the time of her eviction, and now has a fan page with almost 7,000 supporters from around the globe calling for her to be allowed back in the order, according to the Telegraph. Her convent got its first computer just a decade ago. And in 2008, Sister Maria won a local government prize for digitizing the convent’s archives. Her notoriety after winning the award brought more fans to her Facebook page, and that’s when the all the trouble began. Fellow nuns disapproved of her social media savvy and gave her a hard time about it, according to the Telegraph. Do you think she deserved to be kicked out of the order? Beast. Pope John Paul II Gets Posthumous Facebook Page. How popular is Facebook? The Vatican this week has taken the social networking website beyond the grave, setting up a Posthumous account for Pope John Paul II.

The deceased pope is set to be beatified on May 1 and the Vatican in anticipation of that event has posted various video highlights, photos and other information from the pontiffs 27 years as the top official for the Catholic church. It’s the first time the Vatican has tried to evangelize a member of the church using social media. A Vatican official told the AP: “What we found is that Facebook doesn’t just share information, it creates community,” while adding, “People begin talking to each other and sharing ideas.” Also in the pipeline is a new online portal that will launch this Easter and feature tweet and blog friendly offerings. According to the same Vatican official: “A lot of our communications in the past was: I have a message.

Is there anywhere Mark Zuckerberg isn’t going to invade? The History of America, As Told by Facebook [PIC] In honor of Independence Day, The New York Times visualized America's would-be Facebook profile in its Op-Art section, translating the history of the U.S. into Facebook's iconic narrative structure. The piece (below), "Like It or Unfriend It? " was created by novelist Teddy Wayne, Vanity Fair staffer Mike Sacks and designer Thomas Ng.

The graphic recalls a similar piece published by Slate's Christopher Beam and Chris Wilson in May, which chronicles recent U.S. events in an imaginary Barack Obama Facebook feed. Last year the Washington Post published pieces of a real Facebook feed in "A Facebook Story: A mother's joy and a family's sorrow" to tell the tragic story of a young mother's illness and subsequent death. SEE ALSO: We Hold These Tweets to Be Self-Evident [COMIC] All three pieces acknowledge a new kind of plot structure told through the incremental and often brief updates we post on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
