Facebook users criticize site's latest makeover

26.10.2009

About 500,000 members already have joined a new Facebook page called: PLEASE GIVE US OUR OLD NEWS FEED BACK! . The user posts on the page are largely calling for Facebook's executives to drop the changes and make the site look and feel like it did a week ago.

"Hate the new layout please put it back the way it was. If it ain't broke, don't fix it," wrote one user. Another said, "I'm all for improvements, but this doesn't seem to be one. "Status Updates" doesn't show all updated statuses. I have to view both Live Feed and News Feed to see all status updates as well."

And, as usual, frustrated users also took to Twitter to voice their views.

While a few said they like the changes, most echoed this user, who wrote, "Ugh, why must @facebook constantly make changes to the homepage?"

In an e-mail to Computerworld Facebook spokeswoman Meredith Chin would not say whether the company plans to roll back any of the changes.
