- raustin, on 03/18/2009, -32/+309Seriously; I was very disappointed to see the 'new' look.
- eraofk00l, on 03/18/2009, -31/+248The new layout ***** sucks.
- WilliamAdama, on 03/18/2009, -20/+159The new look blows balls... the rounded corners and the increased font size has ruined it for me. I feel like it was built for those who have trouble seeing. Would it be so hard to give an option to go with the new look or keep the old? FFS even hotmail has an option to use the old look.
I hate Mark Zuckerberg and I wish he sold facebook so he could stop ruining it. - GutterMoo, on 03/18/2009, -55/+162Twitter is stupid because, really, who gives a ***** what you are doing? Occasionally friends can chime in on stuff, but seriously, stop using twittering you boring ***** morons.
- a1manarme, on 03/18/2009, -38/+117I really don't think it's AS BAD as the entire internets dripping vaginas make it out to be. A) you can perform the same tasks that you always could. 2) Friend lists eliminate the argument for finding out information you dont care about (or de-friend them), 5) Twitter is a piece of ***** and is very limited in comparison to facebook, C) DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT.

- highpitch83, on 03/18/2009, -7/+78Facebook has been on a steady decline (like myspace) since the addition of "apps". The new layout is the latest example of the reactionary approach they have to usability. Why is there 3 different spaces allocated now to access "functions" that were previously in one consolidated area? (to access friends you look in the upper left, to access groups, pics, etc... you need to use that stupid button bar at the bottom of the frame and all i get in the middle are status updates not the stream of status+photos+groups+videos+etc... updates that it used to be?)
Updating my "status" is the function I use the least on FB even before joining twitter, and since I started tweeting it's become even more pointless (since you can map your twitter updates to your status).
FYI to Zuckerberg - You're making it more difficult for me to provide you information to sell to marketers. Leave the ***** format alone if you want to sell this POS to some sucker like <cough>GOOGLE</cough> and make off with enough to buy an island. - jamesacres, on 03/18/2009, -3/+62Actually you can't do the same, they've removed functionality such as choosing the size of your stories. There aren't even time stamps on your recent events!
- lemur, on 03/18/2009, -5/+63I often wonder this myself. I go to Twitter to bounce pointless messages off of random people, but on Facebook I'm trying to share stuff with my friends. Pownce tried to mix these two things, and Pownce is awful.
- hellomatt, on 03/18/2009, -1/+42Why can't the Facebook team realize that what they had was just as groundbreaking as Twitter? Why follow them?(pardon the pun)
- dsoldier, on 03/18/2009, -0/+37"5 of my friend" Really man? I didn't check your profile cause I don't give a *****, but I hope English isn't your native language, otherwise you've just made a huge ass of yourself.
- Beshitehboss, on 03/18/2009, -9/+45Imagine creepy old man voice:
"What's on YOUR mind?" - dsoldier, on 03/18/2009, -1/+37Hanselll.... he's so hot right now.
- NinjaBoy, on 03/18/2009, -1/+37They should let us choose between simple and advanced.
- daridave, on 03/18/2009, -9/+44I absolutely hate it and it's a FACT that 100% of the friends I've asked about it hate it just as much. Also, will they F*ING STOP telling me about those stupid quizes in my news feed? I *do not* care about it!? The highlight bar also offers me everything I DON'T want to know, so that's another useful piece of crap.
Well, my boss can be happy. Since the change, my facebook usage has dropped by half. So claim my friends as well -- so wtf, really ? I'm wondering if they're doing it for bandwidth issues, or because they're just trying to piss off their members ?
...I know I sound very negative, but wow, I really am in a position to say my opinion is shared amongst all of the people I've asked about it. It's pretty crazy. - treas, on 03/18/2009, -3/+35it's only "thanks to twitter" because twitter is your communication method of choice. You could've easily coordinated over any number of other communications services.
second, it's a ***** typo. Get that big black dildo out of your anus. - hokie47, on 03/18/2009, -8/+40Good or bad Twitter is hot right now, so Facebook wants to grab the share of the market. Also rounded corners is so web 2.0
- bmcnally, on 03/18/2009, -2/+32I use Facebook because I was a freshman in college when it came out. It's been my de facto address book for the last 5 years - if someone isn't on Facebook, I usually don't have their current address or even their email address (a short list of exceptions).
I don't care if I can join a Mafia. I don't care if I can treat it as a blog. Its primary purpose is to let me keep in touch with some of my friends - some of whom are in the military and can't communicate as often as others. - jmubane, on 03/18/2009, -3/+32Its annoying to me, the "highlights" section doesn't ever seem to change and the twitter-like middle area is only status updates. Seems like I'm missing content where as before the news feed was constantly updating with postings, pictures, etc etc.
- angrycat, on 03/18/2009, -5/+31Bitches who update their status every hour get added to the ignore list on my homepage pretty quick.
- KaivenTor, on 03/18/2009, -4/+30Dear Facebook: Please hire an actual UI designer and start listening to your user base a bit more. Do not take your users for granted.
- hypografik, on 03/18/2009, -3/+27I hope someone high ranked at Facebook gets to read this and all the comments posted with the article.
- xurvis, on 03/18/2009, -1/+25I said almost the exact same thing when I saw the "new new facebook" and didn't they just change their site like 6 months ago?
- SuperSunny, on 03/18/2009, -0/+24That's exactly what it is. I never understood why it was so big.
- inactive, on 03/18/2009, -2/+22Tell me how to delete stuff from the Highlights, and I will be a happy camper.
Also I wanna know how to stop seeing quizzes my friends took without hiding all their other updates. - ToastPop, on 04/17/2009, -0/+19In my experience, Twitter and Facebook users are usually mutually exclusive (give or take an occasional visit). Nobody on Facebook wants it to be this clutter that just focuses on people's status updates, and nobody on Twitter wants the million applications and complications of Facebook.
Twitter may be "hot" right now, but it's hot to those who wanted something different from Facebook. Nobody ever said "Hey, I want all the applications and great features of Facebook, but lets hide them all away and pretend we only have one feature like Twitter." What a waste. - igyigyigy, on 03/18/2009, -5/+24It's funny because when someone tried to explain twitter to me i thought "Oh, so it's like the RSS feed of status updates on facebook, only it's on its own website"
- voteobama4, on 03/18/2009, -3/+22Wow 5 Twitter-users in the same bar? I didn't know one building could handle that much lame.
- cbgrizzle, on 03/19/2009, -2/+19I refuse to create a Twitter account because I feel every time I log in to answer "what are you doing?," I would have to reply "updating my Twitter."
I guess I don't understand why this is exciting. - SuperMoses, on 03/18/2009, -4/+20I also hate the 'new' look, but I also hated the old look when it was the new look until I got used to it.
- sloonark, on 03/18/2009, -0/+16Soon it will be asking "What are you wearing?"
- Shadic, on 03/18/2009, -7/+22Also, deleting your account is pretty much impossible.
- ToastPop, on 04/17/2009, -4/+19R2D2
- sneedo, on 03/18/2009, -0/+15was :(
- SeraphX, on 03/19/2009, -5/+20The idea of someone calling another social networking service stupid while commenting on an article on a social news website just makes me laugh.
- mattyboy555, on 03/19/2009, -0/+14What are ya sellin'?
/RE4 Merchant - mGARANDEUR1, on 03/19/2009, -6/+20I have to agree. I think twitter is so lame. I don't really care if everyone knows that I'm taking a ***** and doing homework.
- swimtwobirds, on 03/18/2009, -7/+20bollocks. its a ***** re-design, cluttered & more difficult to use.
- ndngoat, on 03/18/2009, -1/+13Isn't twitter just the equivalent of facebook status updates? and FB existed long before twitter
- elmuerte17, on 03/19/2009, -5/+17yes
- Batiu-Drami, on 03/19/2009, -0/+11But, but, the pictures have rounded corners!
- bobmugulie, on 03/18/2009, -0/+11the friends list filtering was there before, just not as visible
- mattyboy555, on 03/19/2009, -1/+11Acronym fail.
- ronnyek, on 03/18/2009, -4/+14for the love of god and all that is holy, can I please get a no twitter filter... I dont want to hear/see any of this filth.
- guinpen, on 03/18/2009, -7/+17You're being driven crazy by... facebook? It may be about time to get your head checked.
- stalky14, on 03/18/2009, -0/+10Ready to get dugg down for this, but:
***** TWITTER! I'm so sick of hearing about it!
*Off to see if I can filter all Twitter stories from my Digg frontpage...* - utnow, on 03/19/2009, -6/+15What's wrong with it? It's exactly like the old look but with different icons, and a stronger emphasis on the status updates (aka: putting the wall posting block on the homepage at the top). That's it.
It's still your friends, not random people. The privacy features are still the strongest among social networks at large. And you can pick and choose exactly what kind of data you'd like to see in the feed. Really not that complicated.
Facebook is trying to make their site about 'changes' in people's lives... as opposed to a static archive (aka: myspace) where you stockpile everything about yourself on a single page. Someone added a photo. Someone started liking something or other. Someone became friends with someone else. Meanwhile, they are trying to maintain some amount of archive on the profile, to avoid the incredibly unstable twitter-like setup where every person is only what they last said they were. - mabsark, on 03/19/2009, -6/+15"Twitter is stupid because, really, who gives a ***** what you are doing?"
Facebook is stupid because, really, who gives a ***** what you are doing?
I'm not a fan of idle gossiping, and I'm not a fan of this "social netwoking" *****, but I did use Twitter for 3 weeks to check up on the TPB trial, and it was pretty useful for that. I might even use it again in such a situation. Facebook on the other hand, I just can't think of any reason why I would need to use it. - SquareWheel, on 03/19/2009, -1/+91) Put up pornographic image
2) You've have your account delted - Gonasadude, on 03/19/2009, -3/+11ii dugg tyou both up b/c I thhinnk im drunk sry
