13 Jun 09 Facebook to rethink its redesign.

Tags: ,

Facebook is currently rethinking it redesign. You know, the one that looks like Twitter. 2 months ago, I made a blog post detailing why they shouldn’t try to be Twitter.

In short: The highlights section is what gave Facebook a competitive advantage. Yes, there are people who like to read EVERY status update, but most people are casual users. They like to come to Facebook and want see immediately, interesting things that happened, and that’s precisely what the highlights did.

I’m really glad that Facebook rethought their move into Twitter wannabe-land.

I wonder if there are going to be people who will criticize the redesign back to the way it was.

“but but, just as I got used to it, you changed it. blegh. <MAKE GROUP>, <INVITE EVERYONE>… <GO DO A QUIZ>”.

What do you say? Do you like Facebook Twitter or liked the older one?

    I actually enjoyed the move to Twitter from the get-go, but only because my high school has been very resistent with the move to twitter, so I could enjoy all the Twitterati with the added dimensions of Facebook.
    I do agree about people complaining about every little change though, it is the most complete and utter bullshit. Can you believe people complained Facebook was allowing usernames.
