New Facebook Changes; This Is Better?
Posted by Mitch on Feb 6, 2010
Yesterday evening I signed onto Facebook to notice that there have been changes to the format once again. Please, someone tell me why they keep changing things there that don’t need changing.
The most immediate change I noticed was moving the options for doing things at the top of the site to the right rather than keeping them to the left. Since we here in America read left to right, I can’t say I was happy with that.
Next I noticed that the little image thing we used to see at the bottom left that took us to applications we wanted is now gone. It hasn’t been replaced, which is irritating as well. Now, to get into any applications, you always have to go back to the home page, where you have a menu to the left that I haven’t quite figured out yet how to modify so I can see the apps that I go to the most often.
Also, I tried to tag a couple of photos last night, which used to be a very easy process, and had problems doing that as well. First it wanted me to add a new application, which I turned down. Then when I was finally in the images section, I would select the tag tool, but whenever I clicked on the picture it would leave. Man, stuff just didn’t want to work with me last night.
All in all, I’m drastically not impressed with any of the new changes, and can’t wait until someone figures out how to change things through UserScripts.org, which allows you to change things up on the Firefox browser, which I’ve talked about before. I’m never against change, but one hopes it makes things easier and better, not more convoluted.
What are your thoughts about it? By the way, you’re probably going to see Valentines Day products up until the day before Valentines Day, unless I write about something that has a specific product. I hope no one forgets about it; next Sunday folks!
I'm Just Sharing is where I share my thoughts on internet marketing, writing, blogging and many other things. You never know what I'll be posting on. So keep coming back, read, enjoy, and buy! ;)





Oh well, at least now I know your on I sent a friend request. I don’t go on that often, but I may play around with it some when I have nothing better to do.

The stuff is scattered everywhere too. The Chat box is down in the right. All your buttons for going anywhere are on top, and then if someone comments your stuff, it shows down in the left.
It’s yucky. But, YAY! I’m glad you are not a fan of it. Everyone I know seems to like it. Facebook scares me. =D

I finally got used to the last change on FB when this happened. I’m not sure how I feel about it just yet, but so far I don’t hate it.

I hate the majority of Facebook changes too – they never seem to make things better and often counter-intuitive too. The App icon being removed is bizarre imo – especially as it provides easy access to their Ad Manager – crazy!
So many things on Facebook seem to break all the time and if I see another “Oops, something went wrong, why don’t you try again” message, I think I’ll punch my screen!
Bored of Facebook now for sure.

Yeah, I hated that App thing initially because it looked like it was in the way, then I realized how easy it was to get places. Now it’s gone; sigh.

Do you think profiles are on different servers and they do a roll out over the different servers one at a time? Or something to that effect, or is my account just the odd one out on that?

The only thing that keeps me on there is keeping up with my friends. They all live an hour away and I rarely go into town these days as it’s become too painful to make the drive. So it’s the only way I know about the parties and all when I do want to go.
I might just switch to a mobile version of the site and cut it down to the basics.
