Once again Facebook users have signed on to see their profiles look completely different than they did before. Facebook layouts and profiles keep changing and "upgrading" to the point where users think there is no other possible way to update this any further, but Zuckerberg's crew always comes up with a way.
At least with "new Twitter" users have the option to go back to "old Twitter." No one is being forced to stay with the new layout.
The Time blog states:
Though redesigns to the site are usually publicly hated, provoking users to demand the change be undone, Facebook's pioneer initiative makes sweeping changes, like this latest redesign, inevitable. For more on the change, visit Facebook.com/about/profile and check back with Techland later for a full review of the new features.
Zuckerberg told 60 Minutes:
"It gives you this amazing connection with that person in a way that the current version of the profile that we have today just doesn't do."
The new Facebook profiles seems to have more information than needed all at once.
Comparing the two. Here's what the profiles looked like previously:
And now the new profiles:
There is just so much unnecessary information posted at the top. Before it just said the person's "status" - but now there's everything including who the person is dating or what languages the person speaks.
CNN reports that the reason for the change is so that people have an easier time reading a mini-biography of the person whose page it is.
People always initially hate the "new Facebook" and by the time they get used to it another one has rolled along - so stay tuned to see if people do in fact end up liking this version.
