Facebook´s new layout has caused quite a lot of controversy with a lot of of users saying they don´t like it. And a Facebook poll has shown the extent to which users hate it with a whoppping 94% of those surveyed voting against the new layout.
Many critics (including this one) have observed that the homepage now looks like Twitter - with the focus of the page now on people´s status updates. Facebook has already tried to buy Twitter without success. Perhaps they just want to be more like Twitter? They do say that immitation is the best form of flattery.
It will be interesting to see if Facebook reverts to the old layout or whether it will just wait and see. I for one didn´t like the old layout when they changed it from the layout before that but now I can´t remember what that layout was like. Perhaps Facebook will just wait for the fuss to die down. Humans are remarkably adaptable after all.
