- anrahman, on 09/16/2008, -0/+4the post also shows how to get the old facebook back =)
- bbqturtle, on 09/16/2008, -1/+2It doesn't make sense to me that people are complaining when it is so easy to get facebook back.
It's not rocket surgery, I have replied to every story about hating facebook with a link of how to fix it.

- AmyVernon, on 09/16/2008, -2/+15I honestly don't understand the whole fuss over the "new" facebook?
- Synyk, on 09/16/2008, -2/+8Basically, many people don't like change, or are not very intelligent. They get confused because "THE BUTTONS ALL CHANGED PLACE ZOMG!!" I changed to the new facebook when we could do it voluntarily at first...and had absolutely no problem with it. Even, I MUCH preferred the fact that there weren't thousands of useless ***** applications blocking me from getting to what I wanted to get to.
- psykiv, on 09/16/2008, -2/+3If they would separate wall posts and fix all those applications not working with the new facebook, I wouldn't have so much of a problem with the new one.
- LeRenard, on 09/17/2008, -1/+2Facebook has little or nothing to do with most of those "applications". They were written by third party developers.
- topdon23, on 09/16/2008, -3/+8I don't see why they cant just give people the option to choose which front to use, like they are doing now. If so many people don't like the new facebook then just give them the option to use the old one, problem solved!
- LeRenard, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2Because everything would need to be developed to work in either layout, and the API has changed. You'd be doubling the size and complexity of the whole system, and most likely quadrupling the development time needed to get good apps out (for proper testing you need to test all permutations, so that's four conditions to test for every one before.)

(helps astronauts keep in touch)
- latrosicarius, on 09/16/2008, -3/+3What changed? (I'm being serious, I only go on it like once a month) -- but go ahead and digg me down :(
- transeth, on 09/16/2008, -1/+6if only they kept it simple like google...
- PicklePower, on 09/17/2008, -0/+7So where's the Facebook group for people that don't have any problem with the "new" Facebook?
- AmyVernon, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2I'll join your group.
- interad, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2there actually are a few ... search "new facebok" on the groups page
- sexysaxplayer, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2I'll join too!
- reincarnate, on 09/17/2008, -7/+1FAILBOOK
- ThinkBox, on 09/17/2008, -1/+2FAILMEME
- reincarnate, on 09/17/2008, -4/+1who asked you? oh yah.. nobody.
- stutimandal, on 09/17/2008, -0/+1Apparently application developers are liking the new layout, so my guess is it will remain that way. App developers bring most of the traffic to Facebook, so they will be heard.
- DuggDowner, on 09/17/2008, -1/+3The new Facebook is not change we can believe in.
- DeskFlyer, on 09/17/2008, -0/+1NO WE CAN'T
- dhessi, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2Just to clarify, ther aren't 7 million protesters. There are 2-3 million, with a lot of people joining multiple groups.
- jonshungry, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2People need to stop acting like the world is going to end just because the look has changed.
Get over it.
QQ more. - slowmode, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1I think the new facebook is great...its better than going into someones profile and waiting an hour for it to load because of all those retarded applications. The new facebook is great..people just like to make trouble
