For the last couple of layout changes, I’ve actually thought people need to stop whining and accept that the new one is an improvement, even if it is a bit different. This time, I find myself wishing they’d calm down and stick to one for a while. Especially considering it seems to be functionally identical to the old one and just have moved some stuff around a bit.

I happen to like some aspects of the redesign, such as keeping the same colour blue and not changing the logo.

It’s all the other stuff that has confused me.. but you’re spot on, in no time at all we’ll all be loving this and hating the prospect of further changes. Let’s face it, Facebook is not sure what works, and is trying different things in the hope of ‘cracking it’, coupled with the need to try and compete with other services that probably aren’t even proper competition anyway. Does Twitter really step on the toes of Facebook, especially in the longer term?

You can’t please all the people all of the time, so perhaps Facebook should let people choose from a range of design layouts… or create their own. Not in a MySpace way where you can make your friends physically sick by visiting your profile, but in a way that you can customise your design on your login only.

It can’t be long until Facebook goes back to the very original design, having realised the retro appeal, and we all start over.

This is the funniest thing I’ve read all day (okay, okay, I know it’s only 10am, but still…)

And totally agree with the “this will be the version you’ll be begging Zuckerberg to return to when he decides to mix things up again”.
