Do You Like Facebook's New Look?

If we wanted Twitter, we would be using Twitter. What I like(d) about Facebook was that everything that fell into different categories of news was easily separated in the feed. You had 3 status messages on top, and everything else that may be deemed interesting below it. Everyone I've talked to hates this new layout, and I just don't see the appeal Facebook sees in it. I felt like the update to the "new" Facebook a couple months back was a great addition, but this redesign makes me wonder how much longer I'll be able to use Facebook before it becomes something completely different.

I don't like it either. And "What's on your mind?" What is that, a therapy session?

I hated it, but now it's growing on me.

I hate it. I can't even figure out who says what anymore.

I hated it the moment it came out, and using it for a week hasn't made me hate it any less. I hate having to click "older posts" at the bottom to see status updates from my friends who don't use Facebook as much as other friends. Just yesterday, my entire home page was taken up by a friend who insisted on sending french toast from some app to every single one of her friends. It was the only thing on my home page, like I cared about it at all!!! It really irritated me, and Facebook, which I used to adore and sign on to all the time, is starting to become like MySpace...childish and annoying.

There is no need to reinvent yourself every month, Facebook.

I like the new design because it focuses on status updates which is my primary reason for using facebook. It's great to see up news feed posts in order of occurrence.

One thing I would like to see is an auto-refresh so that I don't have to refresh the page myself every couple minutes.

Most of the complaints that I've read are just because people don't understand how to work the new interface. There is a tutorial that you can read--it might help out.

If you want to see status messages from all of your friends and nothing else, click on friends from the menu at the very top of the page. The default list will be recently updated status messages.

If you have a couple friends that insist on filling up your newsfeed with stupid application crap, click the X to hide posts from that friend and it will clean up your newsfeed. That's what I did and it worked awesome. I only see the stuff that I want to see.

I've been on facebook 4 so long, and their old look was great. Before the new one, there was another change, but small, but it was still the old one. Now with the new facebook, it's absolute crap! I wasn't able to find out if I had new friend requests or suggestions. Facebook used to be my favorite site to be on, but now that the new look took over, it makes me not want to get on it anymore. There's better website than facebook

I've been a member of Facebook for some time, and when I first used facebook, the old facebook was less confusing. They changed it a little bit before this new look, and it still was less coufusing. Now with the dumb idea of making a new look, it confusing! I didn't know I had friend requests and friend suggestions until I looked around. It's terrible! I want my old facebook back!

I like the new FB probably only b/c I don't remember what the old one looked like. I had canceled my account for a few months so when I returned I didn't really notice that anything had changed. I hadn't really used FB that much in the first place. I guess it appeals to me b/c I love Twitter. The only difference between Twitter and FB for me is that my friends don't use Twitter. So when I want to see what my friends are doing (or thinking) I go to FB. When I want to see what the world is doing, I go to Twitter.

People complain when they have to learn something new. They are becoming the old codger type people that they complained about when they were younger. Shut up people and adapt. New is good. Otherwise we'd all be in Model Ts and using dial up.

The old News Feed selected certain items to show you but did people never use the old "live feed"?..Live Feed essentially did what the new facebook is doing now but a lot better. Live feed was also 'real time', whereas I've found the new facebook is not. I want to know who my friends have become friends with, as it may be somebody I know. I want to know which events my friends are attending, without having to click the event icon and then have to scroll through every single event day by day. I want to know which groups my friends have joined, without having to click the groups icon and scrolling through every single thing. Whilst status updates are interesting, I dont want my home page to be purely status updates. I want to be able to delete a particular post without deleting everything from that particular person. And don't even get me started on the highlights section...Highlights is basically what the old News Feed was...random info that hung around for days without updating. New facebook is not very user friendly at all.

"The feed also includes ... confirmation of friends adding other friends"
- no it doesn't. This is no longer part of the feed and its disappearance is one of the complaints made by users that has not been addressed in Christopher Cox's response.

Another problem not yet acknowledged by Facebook is the inability of the user to remove disturbing/unpleasant/offensive or just irrelevant content from their homepage's right-hand image bar.

Cox's response indicates some progress on allowing users to customise their homepage, but more will be needed.

One other thought - this time on Facebook's product testing.
They could avoid some of this conflict with users by adopting multi-stage testing and rollout of product changes including:

1. A "playground" area on the site to gauge intial reactions.
2. Opt-in Beta.
3. Opt-out Beta.

This will allow those with the strongest personal stake in the user interface (probably those who have been most vociferous in their feedback to the site and participated in the new layout user poll application) to self-select and participate in product development and testing.

I don't know for sure if it is a good one. I hope this face book is no trouble because the last face book I had was a totally a disaster for me. There was no box to send my messages in the inbox what is going on.

how do i get the new look thats facebook are doing as i still got the old one and would like the new one

damn sure i hate it, i couldn find recently add friend & add to list & many others.. omg.. thaws wrong with fb staff... so many ppl hate it pls give us back the old one!! hate it hate it hate it!!!!
