  • Eric Eldon  gsmaverick, these are monthly traffic numbers, so by looking at changes in these numbers over months and years, we can discern which sites are gaining or losing users. presumably, some of those sites that gain users are retaining existing users. of course more detail would be nice but comscore numbers are among the most reliable in the business, that we have available to go on.

  • Eric Eldon  Dare, I've covered the redesign extensively over the last months, which you'll see if you click on any of the links I already included in the story. Here, I step back and examine some potential issues I see. Since you don't like my angle, tell me why I'm wrong. Also, I've been using Facebook since 2005.

  • Eric Eldon  Dave, they certainly aren't mutually exclusive. What I'm trying to say is that Facebook's old design was more of a blend of river+bling and the new design focuses so much on the river that it potentially cuts the majority of users off from the bling they love. That's it. I'm starting a social network called MyFace and the main feature is going to be something called the Bling River.

  •   David Adewumi  I have a lot of college-aged friends that, even though the too participate in the 'bling river', very much find it annoying and un-navigable from a usability standpoint. With all that money Fbook has, I'm sure they've spent quite a bit of time/money on usability testing & research to find out what people really want -- which I believe is just photos and news and interaction with friends -- at the end of the day, everything else is just icing (i.e. bling river).

  • Eric Eldon  I don't know if the press release was made public. It's pretty lame but I can re-post it from my email if you want. My understanding is that the VCs got the money from the sale.
