Just went on Facebook after a long absence due to the whole relocation thing and I felt like Dorothy stepping into the land of Oz for the first time. What happened??? Why did they screw around with this??? In other words...I hate it.
The wonderful thing about the old Facebook layout was its simplicity as everything about a person was on the first 'page'. If you wanted to see photos or further information on a person then you clicked through to another 'page'. Quick, simple, concise. Go to someone's profile, and you could take a glance at what they've been up to lately, and then check something/someone else out. It was almost like a person's extended yearbook page. Now they have turned it into a personal reference book for an individual.
The powers that be at Facebook have killed the very 'selling point' of this social networking website, namely its ease-of-use and simplicity. Sure, the personal pages were cluttered looking, but blame that on the annoying applications that spread faster than mono in high school. Dammit...I wish users had been given the choice to keep the original Facebook layout as Yahoo did with its email (yep, I've still got Yahoo Classic). Guess this just means that I will be spending less time on Facebook...Wonder if others feel likewise...
