Facebook Redesign Optional No More
Image via CrunchBase, source unknown Anyone who still uses Facebook has probably been dreading the official implementation of the redesign. Soon, you will have no choice but to use the clunky and slow look they have decided on. At first everyone was forgiving about the “new Facebook”, but after a few profile visits the honeymoon was over. It is a shame that a system that was working just fine for the folks who didn’t add every application known to man has to fall to the wayside.
The tab called “Boxes” is just a statement of indecision in itself. While it is understandable why the design has been setup a certain way, it is unclear why the implementation is going to be completed in September when only around 20% of the users have even tried the new look. It is likely that the developers would wait until there was a larger base of people familiar with the redesign if they were not in such a hurry to run the new ad system.
So…what do you think? Let us know in the comments….

I actually like the redesign of FaceBook. Before every single thing was on one page and really made things confusing when users had like 20+ apps. Now all of the relevant information is separated into 4 sections. But that’s just me.
I understand your viewpoint. In the post I specifically referred to this being bad for the users that don’t install every application there is. Also…do you really ever go back to the profiles with all the crap on them? Its just silly when people have more than a handful of apps anyway, past that and its pirates and ninjas.
