Real-Time Time-Suck

I mean, this is funny, right?
Not everyone is complaining [about the Facebook redesign]. Russell Imrie, an unemployed machinist from Redwood Estates in the Santa Cruz Mountains, said he likes the real-time updates that now flow into his feed. Previously, users had to wait about 10 minutes, refresh the page or click on a link called “live feed.”
He acknowledged that some of his friends hate any change to Facebook and consider it a public utility. He said he’s still 70 percent satisfied with the site, and the other 30 percent represents some quibbles he has with the Web site’s underlying design, which wasn’t impacted by the overhaul.
He is unemployed, but is being interviewed by the newspaper on the topic of Facebook, an exorbitant time-suck. Is that irony or coincidence?
