Here’s one of my posts that I always publish too late. I just decided to write this because a couple of friends invited me to join a group called “I Hate The New Facebook.”
Anyway, I’ve been using the new Facebook ever since it came out in mid-July because we’ll have to eventually get use to it. I hated it at first because everything was confusing and just DIFFERENT (and you know how we just “can’t stand change”) but now, I love it. It’s a lot cleaner, less clutter, more organized— it’s just more aesthetically pleasing.
Design-wise, the new FB rocks but functionally not as well. But then why would I care? I only go on Facebook to read private messages or to organize events.
Since we’re on the topic of aesthetics, I was reading a group discussion on how this guy was wishing FB was more like Myspace so we could customize our pages (and how he missed animated profile pictures which almost made me gag). If Facebook ever turned into one of those communities, I swear to god I will NEVER go on it again… let’s face it, 80% of the people on there don’t know how what looks good resulting in cluttered pages, thousands of animated gifs (or backgrounds… nasty), giant pictures = horizontal scrolling because they don’t know how to resize their pictures, ugly giant fonts (especially in #FF0000 or #0000FF), tiny and illegible fonts because some retarded girls think it’s cute, I could go on and on. Imagine how horrible the web would be if it was filled with crap like this… oh wait, it already is.
& I still wish they took away all the applications that makes people’s profiles an eyesore like that horrible Super Wall. Yuck! But then they did create a new tab for applications so we don’t have to see the atrocities if we don’t have to. 
Let’s just give it a month or so after they permanently switch to the new design and people will stop complaining.
