Facebook cements new look
DESPITE MOANS from users, the social notworking site, Facebook, will cement in its new website design.
For the last few weeks, punters have had the option of rolling back to the site's old design if they didn’t like the new one.
More than 40 million users have already checked out the new design and about 30 million are still using it. However a hard core of 25 per cent wanted to keep the old system and are muttering in the forums that they don’t like the changes.
Generally the feeling is that the new site requires too many clicks to do anything and personal profiles are shoved into different parts of the site.
Facebook admits that forcing 100 million users forward is going to be uphill work and that some might even migrate to others sites. µ

So all the 14-year olds who lied about their age (and those with the mentality of one) will finally be forced back to MySpace as they discover they can no longer pimp their pages with a metric ton of stupid apps. Excellent. Because I hate that. I mean I REALLY hate that. Even just seeing the aggravating "Top Friends" app festooned in glitter and colour. From a web designer's perspective, it's enough to make your eyes bleed.

I enjoy that the new site look enforces a regimented organisation of profile-relevant content over everything else. Top notch. Means people don't have to scroll through a mile of shvt to write on someone's Wall, thus can leave the site quicker and get on with life.
Facebook is for social networking. Myspace is for twats who can't click a mouse.
