Shocker: Facebookers Not Happy With Redesign

CEO fixes unbroken social network

New Face of the Book

I totally agree with the fact that the change in the look of facebook has created some problems for the users. I use veryslow internet and so am recieving more troulble than others. But I think that the changes are not that bad too. We have to sacrifice a little to gain something bigger in life.

Hats off to Facebook!

Do not like the new Facebook

It's confusing, it's annoying, it's like the new Coke that everyone hated.

Facebook

I am facing lot of problems with with new facebook like, slow enhancement loading, slow photo upload and so on. be, i think the older was better then new one.

I don't like it

I hate it. I'd leave if there was somewhere to go and all my friends could come with me. Which is just the point. People have spent a long time building their networks and it makes it hard to leave. _uckerburg can zuck it up all he wants and people will still stay...

New Facebook Look

I agree....I was just getting use to my new account with facebook and now whammy, it changed and now I feel lost. I like that I don't have to read all posts...why change if it is fine...

I would agree with if it

I would agree with if it ain't broke then don't fix it. I do see that the site is different and for me being new it makes it harder to get to know how to get around. I also like that you see less of post incase you don't want to read all....you can choose to read ....I like.

They appear to have changed

They appear to have changed it again, using the new system but laying it out like the old one!

thanks

veryy Good post. nito meet you webpronews. thanks

hate the new Facebook, like all my friends

Rabidly dislike it for all the reasons mentioned - am using it less and less.

Very True

I agree 100%!!!! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
The new Facebook home page sucks, and you have much less control over what you see. Such a radical change when no change was actually needed at all. You could choose what you wanted to see more or less of, rather than having to scroll through a heap of listed irrelevant stuff. I found a lot of my friends through the old feed, but this is something that is also gone now!

I agree with Getmea

Facebook is a waste of time, and I've never even signed up for an account.

MySpace is a waste of my time, UBoot was a waste of my time, infact i've never found a 'social' website that was really 'social' or not a waste of time.

Go down the pub, join an AmDram society, get a hobby, get a frigging life for christ sake people!

I refuse to do MSN / Yahoo etc.. and I'm fed up with the amount of time the missus spends on MoneySavingExpert.

OK I use forums to ask questions relating to SEO / Coding (it's my Job!) , but to spend my life talking to complete strangers over their latest CD they bought or picture they've taken, who gives a shit!

Harsh , perhaps, but I guess if it keeps the mindless idiots who can't get a real life off the streets and aquiring ASBOS, I take it all back FaceBook is brilliant, and all the other social networking sites.

Infact I can't wait till they invent a direct cortical implant and plug all these morons directly into the net and allow decent folk, with real lives to take a leisurely moonlight stoll on the sea front without the worry of some hooligan robbing you!

Government Accounting

Your mathematical abilities is astounding; didn't you work for IRS in the downtown office?

Face/OFF

I think they should worry about the basic issues like privacy for example. Other things like new look is nothing but retouches!

maybe the oldest marketing lesson ever...

"Do NEVER Fix what ain't Broken..."
and since FB did it - bear the consequences...

Facebook is a waste of time

I tried FB for about 3 months just for curiosity. Suddenly, my brother's old girlfriend from 1984 found me (why and how?). All my work-related acquaintances started wanting to be friends. My wife got jealous at all the time I was spending on it (having an affair, perhaps?).

I then found that so-and-so was happy that Obama was president...and so-and-so is taking care of a sick kid...and so-and so was extacted to have the nicest hubbie in the world...and so-and-so joined Mob wars...and so-and-so got a 90% on 80's music trivia...WHO F'N CARES!

And then, FB decides that all pictures, words, phrases, thoughts, etc., are legally they'res??? Not in MY lifetime.

I cancelled FB right before the so-called-new-and-improved-look...

Most People Are not Intelligent Enough to use new Facebook

The new Facebook is fine its only for instance when it comes to setting it up and the feeds to your preferences that most people do not have the Mind IQ to know how to change it.

If you want to go to your photo albums for instance and you click photos on the left hand side, it will give you three new options where not one is to go to your current photos.

So after pondering about it I clicked on the bottom photo icon on Facebook status bar and guess what, I got to where I wanted. Its just going to take the average user to get use to the new layout.

I think its better, feeds are much shorter and perfect for people using social advertising.

Facebook

Facebook changes and every change in general is taken as something we do not accept at first.
Of course the terms of service change at Facebook were a draw back for every body.
Ilike facebook and I have to admit I do not use at its real potential.
I have to learn a lot on how to use it to my optimal level.

I thought only old people

I thought only old people and people from the south were afraid of change...

CHANGE IS NOT ALWAYS THE ANSWER

Changing web designs and user interface, especially for a popular website like Facebook can be devastating, why? - Well Facebook is more like one of the rooms in your house, imagine every now and then you'd enter that room and find your stuff thrown everywhere. You'd have to go and search for your stuff again. i.e. FEELING OF INSECURITY.

And for the facebook team, you want a better facebook? go with minor changes from now on .. As for major changes !? ... well open another website apply the changes there.... and then ppl interested would join that site !!!

Facebook?

What is Facebook? Sounds like something for really sad people.

Really Dislike

I could not still believe that facebook changed design, no more secret anymore huh.... Xbox 360 Core Bundle

Ugh

Seriously, 175 million subscribers and they're worried about policies and facelifts. Make some money already! Give that site to a couple 18 year olds with minimal marketing experience and they'd have it profitable in a week.

greasemonkey

May have already been mentioned, but any one who is interested should check out the greasemonkey plugin with firefox after installing one of the facebook user scripts (userscripts.org) that clean up the page. No more quiz results, just normal feed updates like the 'old' facebook.

Facebook Has Never Been Worse

I swear. Facebook has never been worse.
Facebook now is turning into a cluttered twitter, where I really don't care what everyone's doing.

My homepage is cluttered, I can't tell what's what, and things are gone.
I really can't enjoy this...EVER!

MR

I guess Mark Zuckerberg is actually working for Twitter and wanted to sink Face Book in one giant fell swoop.

I like the new Facebook Layout

That is a really interesting article. I guess a lot of people do not like the new Facebook Layout but I think it is pretty handy. They do need to address the Highlights section more as I think it is taking up too much real estate at the moment. I do really like how they integrated the Facebook Status Updates and Friends List into the main homepage feed though. What does everyone else think of this?

facebook

I do not like the feeds whatsoever they are very messy and distracting and spoil the layout of the entire page Facebook please give me back the original layout

facebook?

It is becoming so obvious that members on facebook are really not happy with the new look...so let common sense prevail & listen to the membership members...at the end of the day..its we members thats keeping it going..Ive said it before...IF IT AINT BROKEN..WHY FIX IT !!!!!!

Who cares about Facebook????

Wow, how exciting.....a website where you can load all kinds of "friends" to your page, people who tell you every boring thing they're doing....and expect you to care. 175 million people think this is great? If you really care what someone is doing, why don't you call them and have an actual conversation? Oh, wait....that would be too much like real socializing and real interaction.....sorry.

cooler than me

It would be awesome if I could just call up my friends and ask how they are doing. Unfortunately, I live in Argentina, while all of my friends that I made up until age 25 live in the United States. And if you can believe it- I met them in real life with "real socializing and real interaction". Using your logic, I must be socially inept because I keep in touch with people I care about in way that allows me to save some pesos. Lucky you to be so much cooler than me, and all 175 million facebook users.
