New new look Facebook arrives

17 Mar 2009, 13:32

Facebook has started rolling out the brand new look it hinted at earlier in the month. If you haven't got it already, then chances are it'll come soon enough.

This time it's more of a functionality overhaul, than a new lick of paint. The previous change added a few extra bells and whistles, but it was more visually different to the look before.

OCD to go

Perhaps the biggest change is that Facebook no longer appears to filter anything for you - it just shows you everything that every one of your friends with is doing, pretty much as they do it.

Now, obviously Facebook is a free service and it can implement any changes it wants - if you don't like it, don't use it. But I'll be honest, this new information overload isn't exactly helping me keep tabs on what people are up to. If anything, it's now more of a hinderance.

The previous approach, which seemed to learn which friends you wanted to know most about, provided a pretty good digest. It still threw in stuff about people you hadn't heard from for a while and the mix was pretty good. If you still wanted more, then you could do some manual digging.

The new design seems to strip that all away so you've got no choice but try and read the entire raw feed of everything that's happening or just give up.

There are tools available to help filter the flow a little - like the ability to create groups - but it requires putting in some effort. And even then, you're still faced with another raw feed to digest.

Twitter flitter

In some ways it brings Facebook more in line with Twitter - but that's not necessarily a good thing. There's already the additional noise from people cross posted one site to the other to contend with.

Facebook always did more than Twitter, which meant that there was a place for both. The new changes, however, just add more noise to my life, rather than less.

It's up to Facebook how it wants to run its site and it still has some uses. I'm not planning on doing anything drastic - like join a protest group - but now the auto filtering has been removed, I'll probably just pop in less rather than more.
