Users Dislike Redesign
March 23rd, 2009Posted by: esmith Posted in Blogs
After this post, I pledge not to speak of Facebook at least until May.
With that out of the way, Facebook conducted a poll over the last week or so in an attempt to gauge user feedback to the new design changes.
Predictably so, the response has been overwhelmingly negative. 94% of about 800,000 respondents disliked the changes, leaving fans of the revisions (such as myself) outnumbered.
It leaves me wondering whether or not they should have even conducted a poll to begin with. They are well aware of historic negative feedback following redesign deployments; would it be easier to just let things settle? Or am I in the wrong, and is the new Facebook actually worse than it was before?
