Facebook: Rebuilt
July 22nd, 2008
All things grow and evolve. Even Facebook. Check out their new vision.
Pros
- Easier access to ‘add photos‘
- Inclusion of Mini-Feed into the Wall
- Profile Tabs
No digging through photo albums it’s now right in your Home Page
Larger pictures and feed items altogether. Now clearly the major focus of the Home Page. The new wall allows for dynamic stalking by manipulating the types of info you can see. ‘Posts by X’, ‘Posts by others’.
Now profiles open directly to the wall and ‘Photos’, ‘Apps’, and ‘Info’ are all individual tabs. So you have to be determined to stalk. Many people will not be happy about this. Apps will likely get hit the hardest and potentially lose a lot of their viral quality since now they are hidden in a dashboardesque tab.
Cons
- More Space for ads
- Kind of Ugly
Lots of empty space with potential for Facebook to sel you more stuff you don’t care about.
Feels more like Myspace than the sleek old Facebook we all know and love. Minus the Ben Affleck wallpaper of course.
As I investigate, I’m bound to have a few more thoughts, but keep up with official Facebook updates here
