The other problem is that this interface change is 100% motivated by ad hits rather than actual usability.

I prefer more discrete pages than one big bloaty page, which is actually the problem with the original Facebook design.
Information overload on one page.

I dislike myspace, so don't like the fact that people say the new look is similar to myspace. I use the old look right now.

I was pretty turned off by the new interface the first time I tried it. I've been messing with it a bit today, and it doesn't seem quite so bad, but I still prefer the straight verticle layout when I'm browsing from a computer.

I prefer the new interface. I like things broken up as opposed to one big layout.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Facebook Apps have explosive growth because they basically function like spam or viruses. Most of them require that you invite all of your friends before you get the benefits of them. Most people find application invites highly annoying. On the whole, they are quite unpopular.Originally posted by Asher
Most of it. Look st the explosive growth of Facebook Apps."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

I really thought when Facebook started the whole appeal was simplicity and standardization, which Myspace lacked. Now everything looks like ass and there's ten million things going on. Bumper stickers? WTF?
I really hope, if Zuckerburg continues to be a retarded manager, that facebook gets replaced by a company that knows how to not **** up such a simple concept.Last edited by Wiglaf; September 11, 2008, 18:14.Comment

Lots of people don't like the cluttering of applications on the profile page, including me. However, it was easy to click a profile and quickly scroll down in order to see how the person portrays him or herself. In the new version I can't be bothered to click on the tab with the applications etc. Too time-consuming. I don't want to spend too much time on facebook by browsing through pages and pages. So the one page profile was perfect for me.
And in the end there's not an awful lot to do on facebook. Therefore keep it plain and simple is the best option methinks
True enough, but MySpace is an excellent example of bad layout and terrible usability, whereas the original facebook excelled at it, and by the looks of it many people agree with that...Originally posted by Asher

The original layout was fine with the original featureset. As featureset grew, MySpace-itis affected it. Profiles got longer and longer as more and more applications were added.
Splitting it up into discrete chunks is clearly the right way to go. Some people just simply aren't used to it, and that's fine. People are creatures of habit.
That said, suck it up and figure it out. If you're too stupid to use facebook, then go back to MySpace."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

This has nothing to do with intelligence you moron. There's just too much going on now. All this crap like applications about korean food, bumper stickers, pages, etc is just way more than is necessary. OH BRIAN HAS ADDED THE FORTUNE COOKIE APPLICATON! WHAAAATS HIS FORTUNE!?!? CLICK TO FIND OUT!!!1111
And kuciwalker is right, the ads are more prevalent. Very annoying.
I look forward to facebook's replacement

I wouldn't know that there's ads. As an intelligent person, I've configured my browser not to display them.Originally posted by Wiglaf

I wouldn't know about the stupid applications like bumper stickers and fortune cookies, because I don't have stupid friends who use them. As an intelligent person, consider having intelligent friends.
As you can see, this has everything to do with intelligence."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Facebook is truly useful because it provides an additional filter to get rid of bad friends.
For instance, yesterday I had a friend on my list who I hooked up with in 2001 (he was hot). But he joined a group called "9/11 was an inside job", and he immediately was de-friended. Facebook is useful in this respect.
