FACEBOOK, YOU ARE PISSING ME OFF!!!!

I work from home. Working from home can be quite a lonely business but I found a way round that. I get up in the morning and allow myself 15 minutes on facebook before I start my day's work. My routine goes something like this: log into facebook, press the 'friends' button, check all my friends' recent status updates, leave a comment or two on any that are up to something interesting, turn off facebook and work. It is kind of like going into the office. As you take off your coat, hang it up and make your coffee before settling down to the work of the day, you ask the three or four workmates around you how they are, if they've been up to anything fun over the weekend or the previous evening. Facebook's 'friends' option had turned facebook into a global office.
So two days ago as usual I turn on facebook and press 'friends' and it offers to upload my email contacts and find me some. This isn't what I want. I have done that already. I want to see at a glance what my friends are up to. I haven't the time to trawl through my facebook homepage and read every quiz anyone has taken, I simply want a one line status update. Of course with the friends page ruined, it is no longer obvious where to key a status update so some people have taken to filling in the 'what's on your mind' box, others have thrown in the towel in despair and stopped updating it altogether. Why does facebook suddenly change settings without consulting its users or trialling a new (worse) feature?
I am so mad I am considering suggesting to Thomas that Complexli's first project should be to write a new social networking site to compete against and ultimately replace facebook, recruiting all its users by advertising in facebook groups such as MILLIONS AGAINST FACEBOOK's NEW LAYOUT & TERMS OF SERVICE!
Anyway, sort it now Facebook, you are pissing me off!
