Are Facebook Users Complaining More Than Usual?

People appear to be complaining about Facebook's latest upgrades to the site much more than the usual amount of complaints whenever anything changes.

Complaints about Facebook’s changes to the site today defy measurement.

Publicly visible status updates that complain appear to be going up as public status updates at least once every ten seconds.

Comments on these posts are going up much faster than we can count.

Plus we have no way to tally the number of complaining posts using the new privacy settings to limit visibility to friends.

So is the technology behind the upgrade to the news feed actually making it look like more people are complaining about the change than usual? Or has unhappiness with the site organically reached an above average level?

Ever since Facebook launched the news feed in September 2006, people have complained about nearly every single change made to the site.
