Facebook interface redesign complete… and it’s terrible!

The new Facebook design is absolutely horrible!

It is confused, badly structured, sprawls over the browser in an incoherent fashion, looks ugly and is just generally bad!

Visit http://www.new.facebook.com to see what your profile will soon look like. Alternately, become a fan of Facebook Profiles Preview on Facebook and check their recent postings if you’re not trusting my copy of the message below – nothing wrong with folk being security conscious, especially when log-in details are involved.

The Facebook Profiles Preview update has been very useful over the past few months in seeing what the developers have had planned for the site and gave users the ability to feedback to them about different components of the website during the design stage. Unfortunately, most of the feedback posted to the group seemed to come from kids squabbling amongst themselves and weirdos, and so the constructive feedback actually posted perhaps wasn’t given the weighting it deserved.

Alas, having seen the state of the new site (surely at least one of the developers must have thought ‘hang on, this looks shoddy and terrible!’) I do think that I will be using Facebook a whole lot less (if at all) once the new site goes live for everyone.

I did just feedback to them asking if they could make the change optional (which they can clearly do, as at the moment everyone has access to the old and the new version, as well as the option to switch between the two), though somehow I doubt that they will do this.

What a pity.

Try out the new Facebook now

Today at 6:27pm
The new profile has finally arrived. We’re slowly allowing users to opt into the new Facebook so please check it out, get accustomed to it, and provide us with feedback. To access it, please go to http://www.new.facebook.com. On the top of the screen, you will see the option to send feedback as well as switch between the new version and the old version. Over the next few weeks, as the trial version winds down, we’ll be opting everyone into the new Facebook. Thanks to everyone who has been sending us feedback over the last few months.

    The new design is TERRIBLE! I can’t find a single person who likes it. I’ve hardly used FB since the change and I’m thinking about ditching it altogether.
