I don’t understand; I really don’t. There is a big (growing) movement among the haters. Facebook is getting closer and closer to forcing everyone over to the new layout and phasing out the old one, and they’re becoming more and more frantic. There’s a couple of groups over a million members strong: Petition Against the New Facebook, 1,000,000 Against the New Facebook Layout plus plenty others of smaller sizes but the total Facebook population is over 100 million; are these significant numbers in the big picture?
I take back what I said. I can understand a little why people are so upset, but only because the changes are so radical. I’m not too proud to admit that the new interface isn’t flawless. It’s stumped me more than once while trying to find my way around, and in a couple of places it was downright broken. This hasn’t been the norm for the new Facebook layout, and compared to a lot of applications out there, it’s a shining example of navigation design. The problem with all this noise people are raising is that they could spend as much time as they are joining groups and posting in forums to just get used to the new site. Complaints about being lost in the navigation are only a part of the complaints. A lot of them are just plain ignorant. I’ll tackle this top ten list posted by the leader of the Petition Against the New Facebook group.
