I dislike the new design immensely. I am asked to enter not 1, but 2 security word graphics to send a message to a friend (that I actually know, but haven't added via Facebook yet). One is hard enough! I thought, how on earth can I stop this? Why, they tell you, right on the screen, verify your profile (or words to that effect). Why on earth, to verify my profile, would I need to enter my mobile number, then enter a text message code that they send me. How does that "verify" me? By the way, the text message code they sent didn't work - invalid code. I was welcome to pay for another text message but there was no other way to verify myself. This doesn't make sense. Just because you use the net doesn't mean you have a mobile phone!! What about people who don't have mobile phones? What about people who don't buy text messages (like me)? Why can't you verify yourself via any other method? Why on earth do you have to verify yourself anyway - this isn't an e-signing of a loan application or some sensitive, confidential document. They've made this site way too difficult to use. I won't be back anytime soon.
I like the way LinkedIn does it where you specify how you know the person, if you have an existing relationship with the person outside of Facebook. Facebook could use: Elementary School, Middle School (Junior High), High School, College, Grad School, Work, Daycare, Neighborhood. For people you don't know but want to know, you could just send a message. No need for security code graphics, no need to make the user experience difficult. Courtney Jordan User Experience -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:discuss- What say you of the new Facebook design? What of the usability of this new look? What of the spacing? Is it efficient? Are the tabs necessary? Or did you like to, with just one look, understand a person's personal and professional life completely? More importantly, with the myriad of complaints of said new design, will this bring the downfall of Facebook here in the US? Into the halls of history along with Tribe, Friendster, Orkut? ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
