However with great success comes masses of people who are less than internet literate, and once these people get used to something they stick with it. It’s for this reason that a lot of technology stagnates – people don’t like change and the people provide the money to the industry.

This is actually something I noticed as well and bugs the heck out of me!

The new interface has 2 new bars across the window. First there’s the light blue “welcome/send feedback” bar that hopefully will go away soon. Then under that is the new main menu bar, which used to be a block off to the left side instead.

The problem is, that widescreen laptops are now the norm. And widescreen desktop monitors are heading that way as well. A horizontal stripe takes up a significant portion of the screen real estate on a landscape oriented screen. With huge amounts of wasted space on the left and right of it as well. Certain apps (Warbook) that then create a scrollable “subwindow” within your facebook session, add even more cruft to crowd the window.

Basically the new design is VERY poorly optimized for landscape oriented screens. Just try exploring Facebook w/ a wide laptop, and see how much vertical scrolling you’re forced into.

Perhaps we should start a new group: “2,000,000 for the new Facebook layout.” (I know, most people are against change so we’d never win.. )

Now, after about a month of using the new layout, I like it more than the old. We need to move on with the times people. I say ignore that group and force the change on them Muahahaha.

the people in that group are just lazy retards.
