I also think there are also different types of people - and it's good that people have options. In my experience there are either Facebook loyalists or Myspace loyalists. It is a matter of taste, just as some people prefer Coke over Pepsi. Competition is good.
That all being said, I love Facebook - it is clean, and I really didn't have a problem working with the new design at all. I am sure they know that they need to work out all the kinks, but that's just the general evolution of any site. Facebook works best as a social utility. Sure, some people may feel like it's a "virtual reunion" but what I am noticing lately is that people in different circles are also taking part in discussions and getting to know each other. So we are all building more meaningful relationships with each other. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Benjamin Ho Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 7:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IxDA Discuss] The New Facebook Redesign: The Beginning of TheEnd? I think Loren hit the nail on the head - A social site is useless if your friends don't use it. I thought Twitter was useless until I started using it, and you have to use it often to get any value from it. If you want to connect with people, it takes a bit of effort to do so, just the physical boundaries are broken down - such is the nature of the Internet. I think this is where the tool is only as good as the people using it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
