Mik Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 What does everyone think? I hate it on the surface but when I think about it I can see the improvements that they made. I just spent so much time arranging my page just so and now it's all blown to shit by the redesign. I'm not sure when this moves out of beta and completely becomes the new Facebook, but I don't know... it's a big change.
BX Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 What the hell are you dribbling on about? That link leads to a page that looks absolutely the same. Edit: Oh. Wait.
DrVenkman PhD Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 It's a scary change and I don't really like it, but I have this feeling if I don't embrace it I'll be reading the "CLICK HERE FOR THE NEW FACEBOOK" message until the end of time, so I figure very soon I'll have to adjust to change and learn to like what's new.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 It's pretty lame. For such an originally forward-thinking company, they do pretty terrible every time they unveil some sort of aesthetic change or major feature.
Guest The Elements of Style Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 I don't see any changes at all, but then again, I maintain a very spartan facebook. What am I missing here? What changed? Every time I click the link, it redirects me back to Regular Facebook, and I see no differences.
Smartly Pretty Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 While we're here, add me, yo. Anyway, the home page is improved I think, but profiles are weird as shit.
Mik Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Posted July 27, 2008 I don't see any changes at all, but then again, I maintain a very spartan facebook. What am I missing here? What changed? Every time I click the link, it redirects me back to Regular Facebook, and I see no differences. Everything changed, in essense. If you're not seeing it then something isn't going correctly. I first tried to access it at work where the browsers are old and it didn't open correctly until I accessed it with FireFox3.
BX Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 It's not new.facebook.com, it's www.new.facebook.com. Yeah, I know.
Matt Young Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 It really isn't that different. They just moved some shit around. It's nowhere near as bad as the new MySpace. Classic View FTW!
Brett Favre Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 What changed? I see nothing different. Nevermind, what the hell.
Just John Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but I'll stick with the traditional layout as long as I can. The worst part was certainly the merging of the mini-feed (which is bad enough by itself) and the comment wall. I only want other people's posts on my wall, not my own news stories. I know what the fuck I've been doing on FB, thank you.
Bruiser Chong Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 I don't like the separation of the wall and profile. But like all cosmetic changes on the INTERNETS, I'm sure I'll learn to accept it.
NYU Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 I think the whole concept of Applications completely ruined Facebook to the point I don't even go on it anymore. Unfortunately, MySpace has started to go down the same road, although it's not nearly as severe yet.
Dandy Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 I stay away from most applications. I get requests daily that I ignore without checking them out.
Matt Young Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 I stay away from most applications. I get requests daily that I ignore without checking them out. Same. I use the Wrestler app, but that's it.
Dandy Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Wasn't there a screen cap of your zombie use? It was when you broke the story on Leena using Czech's account here. Not that she would have lied to your or anything.

Not that she would have lied to your or anything. I used to accept invites from friends, but never really used the applications. I deleted a bunch of them months ago.

Unfortunately, MySpace has started to go down the same road, although it's not nearly as severe yet. Applications are a welcome distraction from the severely stretched out pages caused by schmucks who don't understand the concept of creating a page with pictures, videos, and text that isn't a visual abomination.
MFer Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but I'll stick with the traditional layout as long as I can.

I know what the fuck I've been doing on FB, thank you. This. I don't like this new facebook in general. As far as the apps go, I generally don't bother with them.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 You all know you can go back to the old facebook, right?
SamoaRowe Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 I'll be holding on to the old Facebook for as long as I can. I hate it when websites make changes for apparently the hell of it. Same thing with magazines and their formats too.
Mik Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Posted August 4, 2008 You all know you can go back to the old facebook, right? For now. It's still in beta. You won't be able to shortly.
Bruiser Chong Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Have friends been merged into one giant clusterfuck, or are you still able to browse by network and I'm just not seeing it?
Dandy Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 They don't have "recently added" as an option to look at either, best I can tell.
Mik Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Posted August 4, 2008 They did as late as last week. It's gone through a ton of changes since I switched... they are still heavily working on it. Hopefully they add that back in.
Boon Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 The bumper sticker application is good, but the rest are pretty useless.
muzz Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 I could play Srabble on facebook all day. And I do. At work.
