Facebook needs to stop giving so much cred to their users. I see the sense behind giving people input, but it doesn't take a fool to know that the first impressions of any mass group are never truly accurate. People had like 3 days to play with the new facebook and 2 weeks to read up on the changes and noone really complained then. People hated the new facebook layout from last year too...internets people hate everything that is new. I am all for the change, not because I like it any better but because it is evolving within the norms of social media.
That being said, it is also copying Twitter, which I find hilarious. Blatancy is such a hideous thing on the internet, since we are use to subtle changes- a new app, a new side feature. If anything, copying is more of a turn off to me than the actual layout change. Still...micro-blogging is clearly our future. Who knew that it was 160 char. limitations we needed to spark a revolution in socializing? Restrictions are so seductive, limited space in an unlimited format. Love.
