I learned now that the percentage of Facebook users that actually voted reached the anemic 0.3%. That is 600.000 users out of 200 million. Facebook said that in order to take the voting into account, they had to have 30% user participation.

Facebook says the small participation is because it was the first time they tried to ask people to vote about something. Personally, the reason I didn’t bother was that I was bored reading about the latest changes in order to form my opinion.

Ok, ok, I am a lazy bastard.
