			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is amazing to see how people react to change.  Some people embrace it.  Others totally freak out and nearly have a breakdown.  But what happens when you change a <a title="Facebook 3 billion minutes statistic" href="http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics" target="_blank">web site that more than 3 billion minutes are spent on each day world wide</a>? </p>
<p><strong>Well, you get headlines like these:</strong></p>
<p><a title="Mashable Facebook Design Revolt" href="http://mashable.com/2009/03/22/facebook-redesign-revolt/" target="_blank"><strong>Redesign Revolt, What Should Facebook Do Next?<br />
</strong></a>Click on the headline above for the full <a title="Mashable" href="http://mashable.com" target="_blank">Mashable</a> article.  I read the article and followed the link to <a title="Mark Zuckerberg Facebook Comments" href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/markzuckerberg?v=feed&amp;story_fbid=60502256159" target="_blank">Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s Facebook Fan Page </a>to find over <strong>2,000 comments</strong>, most of which are people stating in a variety of different phrases that they strongly dislike the new layout.  Why did <a title="Facebook" href="http://facebook.com" target="_blank">Facebook</a> do it and what are they going to do about it?</p>
<p><a title="Facebook Responds to Criticism" href="http://mashable.com/2009/03/24/facebook-responds-to-criticism-over-latest-redesign/" target="_blank"><strong>Facebook Responds to Criticism Over Latest Redesign</strong></a><br />
You provided the criticism.  Facebook listened/read.  And Facebook responded.  But is this satisfactory for most people?  It sure doesn&#8217;t look like it.  Many comments I read can be summarized by this statement, &#8220;Just give us the old Facebook back.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>My Personal Opinion (for what it&#8217;s worth)<br />
</strong>The new Facebook layout really does not bother me.  In fact, I am beginning to get used to it.  I am still able to quickly accomplish my Facebook goals just as I was before.  Ignoring all of the clutter to stay focused is something that you must become good at if you are going to use Facebook effectively.  Most of the applications I find to be pointless and avoid them anyway.  The simple reality is that <a title="Facebook Demographic changes" href="http://www.insidefacebook.com/2009/02/02/fastest-growing-demographic-on-facebook-women-over-55/" target="_blank">Facebook is not just for college students anymore</a>.  The demographic is quickly drawing more from the 30+ crowd and a huge amount of businesses.  Facebook had to adjust to this trend at some point.  <strong>I will admit, however, I have missed a few birthdays because of the new layout!  So, please blame Mark Z. </strong></p>
<p><strong>So, tell me what you think.  Do you like the new Facebook?  Take the poll.  Leave a comment.</strong></p>
