Has anyone seen the redesign? It's terrible!
And now facistbook says that in a few day's they're going to have it so that you can't switch back to the old one? Why on earth would they do that?

I expect they will be gutted to hear that you don't like it. After all, the amount of money you pay them to let you use it gives you a say in any design decisions they make. Yes, I bet they are crying so hard they have to wipe their snotty noses on some $100 bills.

I prefer the old one too. They have messed up the photo tags (i can only see peoples albums rather than gallery of photos they have been tagged in). You cant view the people currently online for some reason. It also posts up people updates of what they are doing in their applications so everyones walls just get clogged up with ste and it is generally harder to read.

On the plus side i like the function to comment on peoples status.

I don't have a problem with the redesign but then I don't use Facebook (or anything of a similar nature).

As I understand it they have done it specifically to make it a little more "professional" and to have less of the "ultra mega video wall" tripe on the main part of the profile page. Currently they are stuck between Myspace and LinkedIn and I'm not sure they know which way to go for the biggest return.

Yeah but today its says they're introducing the new one regardless. So you won't have a choice. I don't like the new one either. There are groups petitioning against it....join one.

It looks pretty good I reckon. Always nice to see a site redesign. They're always going to have people whinging regardless of what they do. In six months time everyone will have forgotten there was ever a redesign I reckon.
