I deeply admire Facebook for having the guts to make these large UI changes. Every time they rollout anything that is different there is a near riot of people clamoring about how bad it is or how things were so much better with the old system.
I don't think the updates are capricious or arbitrary, I think they are the result of doing lots of testing with lots of users and then having the strength to weather the criticism that inevitably comes with change while they watch the metrics to see if things are actually improving.
- notahacker 15y agoAgree. It first became obvious just how big Facebook would come when they simply breezed through the objections to the introduction of the newsfeed and opening up of the site to high-schoolers. They've also proved willing to dump more good ideas than most startups have ever had.
