What's with Facebook?

Hey, everybody.

What the hell is wrong with Facebook!

Who decided that the new layout was a good idea? Where was the Beta testing? Was anybody asked about the new design or was this a random change for the hell of it?


I know.
I'm old.
I don't accept change well.
I'm not adaptable.

Bulls**t!

I am more than willing to adapt to new design and change if it benefits the user. I am a firm believer in using new layouts to enhance the user's experience. I am, after all, a graphic designer.

But I have not heard a positive comment about this new design from anyone. Not my friends, not the media, no one, no how.

Why the change?

Is it for marketing? Enhanced revenue production? Reaction to competition?

What ever happened to the old adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"?

Stop change for changes sake. It's not necessary. People liked the comfort and usability of the old Facebook. It WORKED.

Don't panic because you have competition. Leaders always prosper, followers die off.

Sometimes a step back can be a step forward.
