Facebook’s New Design

It’s been a while since I posted. I’m still trying to figure out the purpose of the various sites and tools I write on, how they differ, and where they need to be combined. And I also want to create a custom theme for my Tumblr.

For now, I’m interested in the new redesign of the Facebook dashboard, which now resembles a more cluttered version of Twitter. I’ve noticed a lot of complaints in the media about it and there are a bunch of Facebook groups decrying the changes.

So I thought I’d give it a chance for a while and I’m here to report my initial findings:

Facebook now has virtually no stickiness for me. I glance at it occasionally, maybe update it a bit now and again. It’s more like Twitter now, for sure, but it’s a far less useful Twitter.

I might have to write again soon and get stuck into the actual design decisions that have made it less interesting.
