facebook is now absolute garbage

I'm disappointed in the pictures lately. I'm not sure if my Facebook friends are creating an album or clicking "wall photos", but every picture someone uploads is displayed separately in my news feed. If I wanted to look at every picture, I'd click the album.

Does this happen on your pages?

Sheesh!

yep every two photo that get uploaded seem to be worthy of a new item in my news feed. i click the X and it says it'll hide all news from this person.. what the hell? did you used to be able to delete single items from your feed?

Whoever Zuckerberg's listening to, he's doing so at Facebook's peril. Compete.com, a Web-traffic research firm, shows a steady downward trend in time spent on Facebook since the rollout of the redesign a week ago:

 

 

 

 

Presumably, the downward trend spotted by Compete is because there's less click-through from the Facebook homepage.

 

The old newsfeed included lots of viral events that required a click-through -- if your friend joined a group, RVSPed for an event, or friended somebody/something that interested you, you would probably click through to that group/event/person's page to find out more, and possibly join/RSVP/befriend it yourself.

 

The new feed format greatly downplays viral activities in favor of status updates. You don't need to click anything to read the update if the whole thing is on your homepage, and (despite what twitter's fans might tell you), most status updates aren't worth commenting on. The new newsfeed is a more passive experience for the end user. Passive experiences need less attention.

 

It's frankly a mindboggling decision to emphasize the less interactive features of Facebook over the click-generating ones. In a site that's (theoretically) planning to make its bank off advertising, don't you want more pageviews?

 

Really, you have to wonder why Zuckerberg is chasing the hype of Twitter, which has both fewer users and even less of a business model than Facebook. I suspect he's bought into his own hype. He's so committed to being the visionary of social networking, he's now being "disruptive" just for the sake of being disruptive. Somebody needs to take the kids aside and tell him that "being talked about" isn't necessarily the same as "being successful."

I hate the buzzwordization of disruptive.

chit, shax really is pissed

lol

It's a 'cutdown' version of facebook so everything loads faster without all the web2.0 flashy bollocks...

Give it time - I'm sure they'll feature 'lite' apps that will gordo it up just like any other social networking site...

I don;t get no lite.
