The new design of facebook is very bad!

[...] The control offered by the boxes tab is one of the key selling points of the new design, which hopes to make users more confident in the security of their personal information and reign in applications that violate Facebook’s privacy and user-control policies. While heralded at the time as a bold step forward for the social Web at large, Facebook’s applications directory has collapsed into a cesspool of spammy nonsense. The company hopes that stricter enforcement of policies (and putting more control in the hands of users), it can stem the tide of toxic BACN. [Source: Reuters and TechCrunch] [...]

If the info tab is available to developers how is that any different to now? Plus the boxes tab will still get all the traffic from people looking at the SuperFunFunnyWall (or whatever) so it will still see a fair chunk of activity.

Judging by the earlier post on TC devs will still have access to the news feed, just that it won’t be the default setting. All ingenious app developers need to do is work out a way to make people want to turn that feature on by building an app which is - gasp - actually useful!

Well, its cool they realised in time that social networking is like fashion. Sooner or later, people will get tired of one layout and probably jump off to the next hottest social networking site out there.

it’s not the profile view they need to overhaul, it’s your home page/mini-feed view that is in drastic need of some updated logic. that’s pretty much everyone’s first view and every month i become less and less active because of all the crap i see in there.

the trial they did with thumbs up and thumbs down held some promise for me, but delivered nothing. adjusting my mixer desk thingy did very little.

i don’t care that someone sent something a stupid gift, or a mega-ultra-crap-sheep poke. i keep missing good friends’ status updates and wall postings and picture uploads because the signal to noise ratio just keeps getting worse and worse.

I don’t think that the introduction of Tabs is a good idea. Who will care to visit the other pages/tabs?

@stv I agree. I don’t care much about apps in the first place and the ones I do care about are my own. The likelihood that I will click the “apps tab” to see and interact with apps on a friends page will be very low. Not a smart move. If they want to solve the “too much stuff on one page” problem perhaps they should allow generic pages in which users can create tabs if they want to and add/move content around to personalize and organize. (sort of like tabs on iGoogle)

So now FB is running Campfire One-style events around UI layout changes? What’s next, Google calling in the heads of the blogger world to “launch” a new tab panel design for iGoogle?

BREAKING NEWS: Google changed colors of Search button to slightly darker gray today.

A total, company wide, redesign of all Y! properties into something simple and less cluttered, and more integrated, might be newsworthy, but this?

It will be interesting to see how using more Ajax will work bearing in mind the issues regarding accessibility. (http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/stop-using-ajax/) Especially bearing in mind the implication that this will be “real” Ajax from the comment about page views.

I’m pretty sure that as Facebook becomes more and more of a service provider, they are more and more obliged to provide an equivalent service for all users, regardless of (dis)ability. Certainly under UK law.
