new facebook

jesus_son [Edit] [Delete] 17 replies 12:27, 24 October '09

what's with the new thing giving suggestions as to how to make your friends use facebook more?

i've gotten 3 so far -

XXX needs a profile picture! suggest one for her!
my mother only has 13 friends! suggest more!
and
XXX has been inactive for a while. reconnect with him! (he's dead)

well annoying.

  • i don't understand the feed any more.

    One of them shows me things that happened about 12 hours ago, one shows me stuff like 'Alison Benn is now friends with Getting Drunk Alone'.

    • yeah

      i was just looking at this and i can't understand the logic of the ordering of it. you can still click for the live feed option as it was before. i guess it's trying to give priority to popular things/topics?

      sean @wrightylew | 24 Oct '09, 12:50 | X
  • according to my news feed no one's posted anything for 8 hours

    yeah.

    and the only "suggestion" i seem to be getting is to post on my cousin's wall.

    • switch to Live Feed

      manbearpig @whiterussian | 24 Oct '09, 13:29 | X
  • i don't see what the point of seperating the Live Feed

    which appears to be what it used to be anyway and the News Feed which just appears to be made up of out of date status updates is.

    that's the only change i've noticed so far

    soapy | 24 Oct '09, 13:40 | X
  • I don't understand this order

    XXXXX So very sleepy 10 hours ago
    XXXXXXXX sucked his nipple! 8 hours ago
    XXX is going to tidy her room. 1 hour ago

  • Dead? Christ...

    That's dark, man.

    I hadn't noticed but I've barely been on Facebook for ages. I am probably missing out.

  • Fair play to Facebook

    I will probably use it even less now that it informs me on every little thing my connections do, everyday...

    Facebook is getting a bit like Weezer. Unbelievably shittier

  • they've fucked it up

    why do they INSIST on CONSTANTLY changing the layout and the way things work? They seem to wait until everyone has gotten used to the previous changes before they throw in some more seemingly random changes that dont actually make anything any better. Rargh.

  • its more or less how it started off now

    ThingsThatFly | 25 Oct '09, 11:45 | X
  • i really REALLY

    wish they would stop messing around with it. these changes are not useful and do not add any features that anyone wants.

    lechat | 25 Oct '09, 14:59 | X
    • It'll end up like DiS at this rate

  • It looks like they've moved 'Highlights' into what is now called the 'News Feed'.

    The 'Live Feed' is actually live (ie, it refreshes itself when something gets posted) - when they did that last mega change earlier in the year, they announced this feature, but lots of people were confused because the News Feed clearly didn't update itself automatically. This is probably just the final stage of the last total redesign.

    It's actually a slight improvement, I think. Now that that stupid 'Highlights' thing on the right is gone you once again have events and birthdays (the ONLY reasons I use Facebook) near the top of the page. The last redesign tucked them away at the bottom, and reduced their size (and took them out of the news feed), almost like they wanted people to stop paying attention to them. Before, just logging on was enough to see everything I needed to check (I don't care for status updates at all, because they are vapid), but the last redesign means I now have to click through different pages to check stuff. Good going, guys.

    • i liked the highlights thing,

      you could nose through other people's photos

      manbearpig @proslo | 25 Oct '09, 15:43 | X
      • one time,

        the first on my highlights list was something telling me a girl i liked was now "in a relationship" with someone else. i was like, THANKS FACEBOOK.
