I was rolled to the new interface about two days ago. As long as one stays on the home page it is a very nice clean UI, however… Easier to get to favorite games? I don’t think so… they did away with the shortcut bar at the bottom, so NOW rather than my next game being a single click away, I must first go to my home page, THEN select the next game. Taking away our shortcut bar and then NOT keeping the side bar where we can see it, was quite simply a non winner. THe rest of the update seems to have went well, though I am not sure I really like the whole friends section update… but I haven’t decided yet.

I had the new interface FORCED on me yesterday, and I hate it.

They could at least give us notification, and an option to switch back to the old interface if we want to.

I don’t spend a lot of time on Facebook, it seems like just as I’m getting used to one interface they change it. I just got the new one today. Some likes and dislikes, the default feed can’t be customized. Overall, though I think it’s a step in the right direction.

So, just because a bunch of people with not much to do use Facebook and Twitter makes me insane not to waste my time with it? How insulting. Following a mob is not for everyone…I think I’ll skip them both. I’ve seen too many people make fools of themselves online just because everyone else is doing it. Thank you but no thank you. If I am insane to keep some small part of my privacy, then that’s fine with me. Count me no fan at all of any of it. Not that it matters, except to me.

It’s more cluttered and worthless than before. I wish they’d give you the option to choose which layout you want. Half the junk on the screen, i don’t even want there. I don’t care who is online, yet it takes up a whole column itself.. i hate Facebook more and more each time they update stuff.

My account got rolled over to the new Facebook look today, although I heard all of my friends say it was really weird and hard to get used to on the weekend.

Overall though, I actually quite like it. It feels like the whole layout has been streamlined to along the more conventional lines of web design, and I’ve already found navigating around it is a lot more easier. :)

Happy birthday Facebook!

I find the issue with Facebook redesigns is every time they just seem to fail badly at what they are attempting to do, and that’s to create a better user experience. This latest attempt is a lot more confusing then I think Facebook intended it to be.

I really like Facebook’s new interface. Very 2.0 like. Not any faster than the old, but I do like the UI.
