Facebook Faux Pas

Way to go, Facebook! Apparently 560,000 of your 2.1 million monthly active users don't like your new site design (Source: Washington Post article). Even the Facebook employees hate the redesign, and it seems as if Mark Zuckerberg (owner of Facebook) doesn't care, and is ignoring the pleas for a new redesign. He has even tried to buy Twitter for $500 million in cash and stock. Having failed that, it seems as if he tried to make Facebook into the "new" Twitter. Wow. Listen to your users, Mark; make the site what they want it to be, otherwise they'll leave.

Way to fail, Mark. Way to fail.

  1. This is where the push for money outweighs the user-designed emphasis the site SHOULD have. I might also read this piece from C|NET.
