So I've been assimilated for three weeks now, and so far, I've really come up with only one gripe about Facebook:
Ladies, if you get married and take your husband's name, please keep your maiden name in your profile (as in [first name] [maiden name] [married name]), so I can identify you from childhood or high school or whenever it was that I knew you.
Most of the time I can figure it out, but the other day I got a friend request from somebody whom apparently was a high school classmate of mine but whose name I didn't recognize because she was using her married name in her profile. I had to go dig up and dust off the old high school yearbook in order to positively identify this person.
I'm sure I'm not the only one of Facebook's 175+ million users who occasionally gets confused by unfamiliar last names, either. Help us out be retaining the name by you used to be known in your profile.
