What Do You Think of the Facebook Redesign?

You go out for some drinks, enjoy a nice sleep, and wake up to find that Facebook has gone “full retard“. I really don’t understand what Facebook’s design team was thinking. The redesign is awful. It’s way too busy and it makes it hard to focus on content. The only way this makes sense is if the redesign was the work of a Google plant that infiltrated Facebook in order to make Google+ appear more elegant than ever.

Of course none of the complaining matters. Like millions of other people, I still have to use Facebook as a promotional tool. Millions of people will bitch, but few of them will leave. In the immortal words of General Akbar, “It’s a trap!”

I mostly hate the Facebook redesign. The one reason I like it is that it’s making a few of my friends use Google+ more and I greatly prefer that social network. What do you guys and dolls think of the Facebook redesign?

  1. I truly hate it. I don't want to see a picture someone posted of their feet 2 years ago just because one on my friends commented on it 30 seconds ago. I don't want TOP NEWS. I want a sequential list of when things occurred and in what order.

    If I didn't use it for school and socializing and our restaurant and stalking and games and pretty well everything else, you had better believe I'd leave.

  2. My entire Wall is filled with people revolting and trying to pull their friends to Google+.

    Personally, I think social networking as a whole is going downhill. The thrill is wearing off all over the place.

  4. I hate their top stories feature and have avoided it as much as possible. Not that it matters as I find myself actually using FB less and less.

  5. As you have seen on FB itself, I don't like the redesign at all. If they would actually warn us of this instead of updating like a ninja in the dead of the night (or school day, mind you) then it wouldn't seem as bad (to me).

  6. Leave. Seriously. Delete your account. It's not that hard (or maybe it is, I don't know).

    Your life won't end. It will not become less meaningful. In fact, I'm willing to be you'll be a lot happier if you do. I know I am.

      1. (*shrugs*) Oh well, I tried.

        Hmm. You've actually given me an idea that has to do with rehabilitating people who are addicted to Facebook. I could rent a nice, quiet place out in the middle of the Everglades and charge $100 per week to stay in a cabin with no internet access and no cell phone towers in range. I'll keep a land line in there if they want to communicate via phone and some games, books, TV, and hunting/fishing equipment to pass the time. All of the cooking will be done in-house by the inmat-… er, I mean the guests. I'll also have people write letters to their friends/families and mail it to them. I'll market this camp to concerned parents and make a killing!

        I guess it would work better in Korea or someplace like that since our society seems to have a much higher tolerance for addictions in general.

      2. I don't think you'll have any luck opening a treatment center in Korea for people with any kind of computer addiction. Seoul is wired better than any city in America. Internet-based activities are huge over there.

      4. Yes, they do, but aligator hunting is fun and more than makes up for it.

        Also, you haven't lived until you've been on an airboat.

    2. The problem with that is that most of the people I actually like talking to are on the other side of the country and it's the best way to keep in contact with them since it's the only thing anyone actually responds to.

      5. Yeah, that was his condition for me leaving FB. As you know I am not on FB anymore so we all know how that turned out.
