Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg offered a defense of the company's new redesign, soon after its new features were launched.

Although the first polls concerning the redesign have been generally negative, the reaction was essentially anticipated. That's because Facebook executives were asked - twice - at a press conference on Thursday following Zuckerberg's announcement of the new Timeline layout of the company's user pages. The new changes had been announced just moments before, and were barely live.

Really? No one is going to stop using Facebook because of a redesign.

I; for one, adapt and overcome. No need to worry and fret about small things... like Facebook.

Semper fi, ITstudent...

Anyone else have any opinions or feedback on the Facebook changes?

Still trying to get used to it. It actually aggravates me that it seems like every other month they are coming up with a new way to mess you up if you're already used to it. As soon as I get used to dealing with it one way, they come up with something new... But then again, it's only Facebook and it's not a major point in my life that I need to deal with.

I don't see them yet.

"Facebook rolls out its new features gradually, so not all 800 million users see the updates at once." (Chicago Sun-Times today)

Someone on the Facebook AMHD Page (http://www.facebook.com/askmehelpdesk.now) said the following:


"Perhaps they should have shared with the facebook users before revamping anything. I hate being forced into what someone else thinks is wonderful and I think is just a load of garbage."

Wow, it does sound very familiar.

Not crazy over the Facebook changes myself. The chat is messed up. The news feeds within news feeds.

The layout was doing fine, and wake up one day and all is changed.

To be honest though Not using Facebook as much as I used to.

Not bad.. but still, viewing pics interlaced, I don't like it actually..
By the way, Did you know, press F5 while viewing a pic, and it takes you back to the old style of viewing pictures? Bet everybody knows..

If you can't beat twitter...

I go with 'if it isn't broke don't fix it'.
I haven't switched to the "new Ask Me Help Desk" because it doesn't do anything to improve the experience and makes it tougher to use.

Many of my FB 'friends' are switching to Google +. Maybe I'll give it a try.

I just have to laugh about things like this. Maybe all these social networking sites should include the phraze "stalkers welcome sign up here".

I just think its dumb when they forcefully try to lump people together like it's a good thing.

See this on smart lists.
