I have no hesitation in saying that almost everyone I know is a Facebook user, including my dad. It seems like Facebook is trying to get their users to hate them. Just in this past week, they have made changes to the homepage by making two different newsfeeds, a live one, and something else that I find kind of useless.
I just want to go back to the simpler, easy to use Facebook I know and love. Also, they have this new feature on the homepage that makes "suggestions" on who's wall I should be writing on. This is just ridiculous, I'm sorry, I don't feel like "re-connecting" with my 10th grade World History teacher or the girl that sat in my row freshman year in government.
This post is a bit reminiscent of Kelsey's Blog on simplicity. I love Facebook because it helps me keep connected with my friends and family, but with all these new additions they have planned for us,(Mashable) I feel like they're headed in the wrong direction. I hope that they respond to users feedback and realize that over complicating features that were fine to begin with is going to be to their own detriment. I can only hope that Facebook decides to take a step back and realize that keeping things simple leads to success.

Oh simplicity. I think it is funny that our blog posts address similar topics and we take differing positions. While I am not a fan of the suggestions, I agree that the old standby 'News Feed' has been rendered absolutely useless by the live feed- I mean wasn't the last News Feed almost live? It included how many new posts that had happened since you had refreshed the page.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, I'm still surprised that the suggestions box is still on our homepage. That things needs to go.
