Facebook Changes

I'm not sure how to feel about the new Facebook homepage that launched today. Now the news feed is dictated by people's useless statuses as opposed to the old three statuses at the top. I don't think I like the change as it makes the content more confusing to navigate.

Also, the default font size for the site increased. I guess their developers decided that even more web-2.0-ization had to be done. While this makes the site easier to read, it makes the pages feel bigger in general, which becomes frustrating.

Also, statuses are no more. Now you can only share "what's on your mind." Is Facebook trying to become more like Twitter? At any rate, maybe these changes will grow on me.

A bit about me

I'm a freelance web designer from just outside of Chicago, Illinois. I focus on usability and simplicity. I use CSS wherever possible, leave the complex art to others, and write standards-compliant markup.

Beyond that, I study engineering, write reviews for consumer electronics, and like fast cars.
