hi all, yeah, i think this thread has somewhat turned into a collection of personal views of what facebook is to certain individuals.
Regardless of their business model or what's going on there, in terms of interaction design, Facebook has set a decent example on what good interaction design can bring. They dedicate a lot of resources and attentions to aspects of good design practices, which is something we should be talking about in the first place. They have a solid team to boot and I personally admire some of their works/papers. Some people always bring up the 'if good design is important, then why MySpace is on top' argument. I'm sure some of you in here can argue against that better than I can. As for the redesign, I think it's a design for user experience. Remember the not-so-old days when 100 applications get mixed up with everything else? Personally, I don't think facebook works for me; I am looking to derive more values out of my social networking experiences. But for what they do and the way they do it, as someone who works in the interaction design field, my hats off to them. - Alvin On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 1:20 PM, Benjamin Ho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Wow.
