Stories that tell me which of my friends have been tagged in a photo are gone. This is one of the coolest features of Facebook: looking at photo’s of your friends. Now I have to dive in the photo app (accessible through the ‘start-bar’ at the bottom of the page) to see which of my friends are tagged in a photo.<br><br>*Comments friends made on photo’s. <br>Again, a great feature that lets you know what your friends are up to. Facebook is apparently the biggest photo sharing site on the web. So why don’t they act like it and acknowledge the importance of photo sharing on the website.<br><br>* See who became friends with each other. <br>Those ‘John became friends with Jane’ notifications were really useful for finding new friends yourself. Often those updates showed me that one of my friends ‘befriended’ someone I also know. I used this feature a lot more to spot new friends than the ‘people you may know’ box on the homepage. <br><br>* Notifications of friends joining groups.<br><br>* Notifications of friends attending events.<br><br>* Notifications of people changing their profile picture. <br><br>And what do I get to see on my Facebook homepage right now? A lot of stories telling me my friends took the “Which language are you ? quiz”, the “Where should you be living ? quiz”, the “Which Belgian beer are you ? quiz.” Believe me, I could name several more of these updates that show up on my homepage. I don’t care about these updates! It’s nice my friends use  those apps – I use them myself  too – by somebody please explain to me why Facebook thinks these kind of updates are more important than all of those I listed above. <br><br>Now I find myself turning to the mobile version of Facebook (<a href="http://m.facebook.com" rel="nofollow">m.facebook.com</a>) to keep me updated on all these kind of stories. The old fashioned live-feed is still available over there! The Facebook app on the iPhone also still shows these kind of notifications. So now the mobile version of the site is providing more useful information to me then the desktop version does… That’s kinda odd isn’t it? But who knows how long it takes before they change the mobile site to reflect the changes on the desktop version. <br><br>According to Facebook the changes are meant to show the user more relevant information in real time. This is how they put it on their official blog: <br><br>“As more and more is shared, we want you to be able to find out everything that is going on in the world around you at any given moment, or shape the stream of information most relevant to you.”<br><br>The thing however is, the complete opposite has happened.<br><br>They don’t need to revert back to the old design, they should just adjust the current one so that it becomes useful again. It’s not about the design, but the functionality.</div>\

I would call myself an early adopter, always being excited about change and innovation. I love Facebook, and so far I appreciated any of their relaunches and updates. But this time, it is different. The new homepage increases information overload, it reduces the usefulness of the old news feed which informed me about contacts becoming friends, people that have been tagged in pictures and so on - stuff that mattered to me. Now the only thing I am seeing are status updates (fine for me, but I already get them through Digsby on my desktop) and application spam - which I cannot hide nor remove. The important stuff has been moved to the Highlights section, which I - again - cannot filter. I can\'t remove items from this list either. Apart from this, birthday and event information is harder to find and doesn\'t seem that comprehensive anymore.<br><br>Maybe you now do understand why I am very unhappy with the new homepage. Other people might have other reasons, and there are definitely those who just complain everytime one of their favourite web services changes something. But not everyone voting against the new homepage belongs to this group. You should not forget this in your post which is think is definitely way to generalizing (says someone who otherwise is being called a Facebook fanboy!).</div>\

That is, if the poll results show that 95% percent of the respondents don\'t like it, you could infer that between 94.9 and 95.1% of the general population didn\'t like it.<br><br>There\'s obviously some self selection going on here--that is, it\'s probably more likely that users who don\'t like the new design will respond to this poll than users who do--but to conclude that 750K respondents are simply a "vocal minority" and dismiss them is way, way off base.</div>\

The "users don\'t know what they want" mantra of designers is getting a little old. Designers and IAs usually create re-designs based on their own personal preferences.

Yes, users who dislike the redesign (myself included) are going to be much more likely to vote. The majority of facebook users (again, myself included) aren\'t going to vote, not because they don\'t care, but because they\'re either too busy weeding through the wall of noise to find the content they\'re actually interested in, or they figure that the facebook powers that be won\'t be swayed by a stupid, and scientifically-unsound poll anyway.</div>\
