I have no problems with this.

But people will bitch about it, complaining they want the old new facebook, and then the new new facebook will come and everyone will forget about what they were whining about.
 
Meh, I'm alright with it. They just keep revamping the same basic design, so it's not like anyone should really give a shit. Looks clean.
 
Check out the latest news on your friends' daily lives!

24 hours, 7 days a week!

It's the new Facebook, Facebook, facebook....*echo*



Hopefully they can finally give us the option to completely block certain people's updates in the feed.
 
"is stuffed" ugh why do people update their pages with bullshit like that? people don't care about every single thing you're doing or feeling.

IS EATING
IS BRUSHING TEETH
IS TAKING SHOWER

Um, I'm pretty sure you can? Also, if you don't want to see anything about them, why are you their friend?
 
But but but I like Myspace where I can edit the way the page looks, I mean every site out there has to look like a 1996 Geocities site just with more flash!

I think it's more like people who use Facebook like fuckin' Twitter and give a feed about every little dumbass thing on their mind. You still wanna be friends with them to send them messages and shit, but actually reading shit like "is baggin bitches in the library widd my &*@#($ OWWWWWW!!" on a consistent basis gets annoying when you're legit trying to just check in on people.

That's a real feed, btw...
 
I'm pre-emptively starting the group, "The New Facebook Layout Sucks! Let's Get It Changed Back Peeple!" If anybody wants to join...

Yes, I remember all of the "1,000,000 strong against the new facebook!!!" and "teh privacy!!!" groups that came out and people leaving them 3 weeks later :lol

EXACTLY.

Even friends as they are, I don't need miniscule details on every second of their lives.
 
Looks like the news feed and live feed are becoming one big feed o'stuff.

Like they said, wanna make sure I can still keep from seeing certain people I've added, but could care less about.
 
I use facebook a lot less than I used to since they took out network pages and changed the layout. The layout thing totally killed any desire to use it. I like what I see though.

I bet there will be 1000+ groups on how crap the new look is soon a day after its rolled out.
I would also bet on that, :lol . The mandatory status "is" was a huge controversy so this will be a shitstorm.

Mandatory? Must be before my time, I've been able to edit it out since I started. And yeah, the homepage was totally useless when you compared it against the rest of the updates to the site, so this is a welcome change.

And yeah, people will bitch for no reason, AGAIN.

Not completely, you can 'View less about So-n-So' but updates about them occassionally slip through for some reason.

Also there are games you can play on there where the more friends you have who are playing the game, the better you do at the game. So you will befriend other players of the game, but they aren't really your friends and you don't care to see stuff about them mixed in with your actual friends. So it would be great to completely block updates from them.

For instance, Superpoke Pets; if it's only you, you can't earn enough coins in a day to buy nice furniture and other items for your pet's house. But if you have a friend, when you visit their pet, you get 20 coins, and if they visit you, you'll get 40 coins. So that is 60 coins per friend each day. Multiply that by 50+ friends and you can see how it's advantageous to befriend people on facebook who have their own superpoke pet. I have 80 friends alone who play superpoke pets; but I don't care to see updates about them since we don't talk outside of the game.
 
Yay, the sidebar returns.

I still think a flexible-width version we had (as of this Wednesday) two versions back would be the best thing possible. As it stands, I hope this is at least flexible-width.

.................. I will never understand this aspect of Facebook culture. Ever.
 
It for people you used to know, but don't really talk to anymore. However, since you added them at that point, there's no advantage to removing them; you might need them one day and besides, removing them in today's cultural context is akin to saying publicly "I dislike you."

No reason to remove them, but no real reason to read their updates.

People are not emergency utilities. If you look at them as only being "useful", they aren't friends and there's no reason for them to be there in the first place.
I'm starting to think that people are just afraid to deflate their e-penis.
 
Can't you just make a list with the friends whose updates you actually want to read? It does the same as what you're asking for, just in reverse :P
 
there's tons of people i am not friends with, and many i don't even know since i was drunk when meeting them, but i will not defriend them.

i get to feel like ozymandias, taking in constant information that is seemingly useless, but paints a picture of the culture of my peers.
 
I find it funny when people make fun of the type of facebook users who will write "is really tired" or anything else that is deemed "meaningless" or "pointless details of their lives." Why care enough to let it bother you or bitch about it. You're on a website that exists for the sole purpose of stalking everyones life and broadcasting your own from pictures to videos to "wall to wall" conversations, but someone says they're hungry and that's what you can't handle.

It gets me everytime.

I approve of this redesign but it's such a blatant copy of Twitter. I'd rather they innovate with some new features than force me to use ones taken elsewhere.
 
Good lord. Why do they keep refusing to tear down the entire look and feel of the site and start it from scratch?
 
I don't mind the look. Is there a way to test it out first, or are you a special Beta tester? Or is that not even you?
 
I'm so glad they are making a new homepage. The one we have now looks retarded. The stuff on the left should definitely be on the right. It feels like i'm reading left to right. Anyone else feel that way?
 
A little offtopic question: Its posible to delete a Facebook page/account, someone made a facebook account with my name and i want to remove it. :(

... You do realize a lot of people have the same name, right?

Unless you're using an online handle as your Facebook name, which would be really dumb.
