Following the lead of President Change, Blagojevich adopted Facebook in the hopes of currying favor with a new generation of voters. A tipster captured a few screenshots of notes Blago had posted in recent weeks shortly before he turned his oversharing engine off. What do we learn from them?

We should have seen his bribery coming.

No one seemed to take much notice of his Nov. 6 note about his search to fill Obama's seat. But he was already full of power: "Ultimately this task falls upon my shoulders." He went on to lie, "To give you a low-down, I'm looking for a candidate that will ... prioritize the average Illinoisan who is too burdened by taxes and economic hardship."

Once he was arrested, Facebook users turned vicious. "I hope nobody keeps you 'warm and safe' in prison," wrote one on a Nov. 25 note about a Christmas tree lighting. And on his final post, published a week before his arrest, the outpouring of hate was unstoppable: "Rot in hell you scum bag" "Is that a toupee?" "Just wanted to say goodbye. I'm glad you've been arrested."

Isn't Facebook where you go to connect with your friends and share your life? If anyone could use a friend, it's Blagojevich. Blago may have been the most friendless person on the Internet.

We couldn't find any screen shots of what Facebook profiles used to look like, so these are just images of the site's welcome screen, taken from the WayBack machine. Send us old screenshots if you've got them?

Meantime, try not to let bitter tears of nostalgia sting your eyes as you take a look at these babies.

1. A pull-down menu replaces the old navigtional bar.
2. There's more space between each submissions
3. Reddit added new momentum arrows to indicate if a story is rising or falling in popularity.
4. Users can now sort by "controversy." "A link can have 0 points but 100 up and 100 down votes," and that, a Reddit engineer told Csutoras, is "something that definitely merits some attention."
