FaceBook is on Roids

Sometime in the past few hours, theFacebook—that wildly successful social-networking site for college students—got a massive redesign. I have only so far seen the user home-page, and really, only glanced at that. There seems to be too much information slapped on one page, with no thought to order, but what are first impressions worth, anyways? Will deffinately check it out and extend this entry...

- UPDATE (3 minutes later) -
And on a more thorough glance, this is terrible. Do I really care about Sarah and Farid only recently becoming facebook friends? This all seems too busy, and would be hella difficult to keep track of for the power-users, of which there seem to be quite a lot. Regardless, all of this seems to be getting facebook away from being a positive, social enhancement platform—by this I mean the new architecture makes the use of facebook more important than real interaction between people, or at least taking a significant level of energy and investment that shouldn't at all be there.

Overall grade: F-
