My first status on redesigned facebook layout was like “is liking new facebook homepage design!” – well, I liked it and I still like it. But wait, i’m such kind of user who spends most of the time in front of his laptop, who likes and understands all these “real-time stream”, who understands how facebook is trying to kill twitter …etc.

But what about 200 million users who are not a nerd like me? Today, I have read almost 200+ comments on this poll that was published to know about users feedback. Do I really need to read the comments when the result says around 95% users don’t like the new layout design?

Still, I wanted to know why people didn’t like it. Certainly, users got some good points. And some of them are …

• It brings all craps on home page, last detail of every single thing.
• It’s confusing, highlights seems like an advertisement.
• Users have less control of what they see and what they write.
• Live feed was very popular tab and it’s removed
• User don’t get notifications when a friend get tagged…..etc

I know, users have to adapt with the new layout and it takes time. This is call “adaptation” dude? We saw users hated the 2^nd layout design but after a certain time they got adapted with it. Now, it’s not been too long since 2^nd layout changed, but this latest changes actually surprised maximum users. Facebook didn’t prepare them like before. This time users don’t have option to go back to old layout which was on 2^nd design change.

This time I have a full doubt about this design change. I just feel facebook must do something about it or they will lose a number of good users. I know people are addicted to facrbook, so whatever they ask us to eat, we are bound to eat that. But still redesigned facebook has to be changed, maybe not going back to old design but it has to give users more power and maybe bringing back the “Live Feed” tab will be a good idea. So that those who are interested to “real-time” can stay on that page.

Now, this is interesting. mark zuckerberg had a tread on his facebook public page that says…

Lots of good feedback on the new streams home page. Thanks for all the encouragement. If you’re not into it, try it out for a few more days and tell us.

Now, you want to hear what people are saying?
