With more than 300 million active users, Facebook has come a long way from its roots as a way for Harvard students to keep in touch.
Teens, grandmas, musicians and politicians have all joined those early college students, making the social-networking hub one of the most heavily trafficked sites on the Internet.
But for some users, the site's popularity -- and the periodic tinkering with "the old Facebook" -- means growing pains, too.
More friends means more people to spam up your news feed with links, photos and update boxes from the applications they use. Sure, you're happy to be in touch with Aunt Ethel -- but do you really need to know who she just murdered in Mafia Wars or which member of the House Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials she is?
