I'm very surprised that people haven't noticed that Facebook really screwed up certain aspects to the redesign and instead keep trotting out the "users don't like change" excuse. There's "disruptive" and then there's "poor design decisions".
Interesting to see they've already addressed some of the negative feedback:

- tokenadult 18y agoI don't like the new home page at all, and I have been visiting Facebook less, but presumably the company has global data on actual user behavior and decides such issues on that kind of REVEALED preference rather than on expressed preference manifested in user complaints. I'm a small enough part of the user base that I could boycott the company forever and Facebook might not care.
- timcederman 18y agoHow can you tell from user behaviour that people want something if it's missing? That comes from qualitative feedback. From what I've heard, usage did drop after the release, although I'd be interested to see real data rather than hearsay.
