Thoughts on the New Facebook
I voted 'No' on the official poll
and these are the reasons I posted:
Didn't need changing! After getting used to the old 'new' facebook, I was quite happy with everything, the way it was laid out, the way you had different tabs for different things which separated pictures and status updates etc I was surprised to read you were changing it again, especially after the storm of controversy and unhappy users that created.
Ive got used to the change, and it doesn't particularly bother me anymore, except that it gets slightly confusing and a little of information overload, even though you have made it easier in layout. I do like the highlights section - some good things and some bad things appear here, but my main peve is the middle bit which can get swamped. I don't particularly want to filter anyone out either. I do like the new 'publisher' thing on each page, and the way groups and pages and people look like profiles.
If you were to extend the new design, add how many events one has across the top, with group initiations and application invites ...
Then I ran out of room in the box. Bad times. I hadn't finished what I wanted to say!
... and change the bar on the side, I don't like it! The tabs on the old facebook were much better, as you could seperate groups, links, photos and status updates.
However, saying all this, I have got used to the change and can cope with it, and can't remember the old layout (but this maybe because I use it too much ^^). I generally don't like change and takes me a long time to get used to, especially if the change is unnecessary.
Oh and add a 'Dislike' button :)
