Facebook profiles, take two
March 9, 2008After realizing just how cluttered profiles become after adding everything from vampires to Grey’s Anatomy quotes to your family tree back to the times when woolly mammoths roamed the earth, Facebook is asking for feedback on a new, tab-based interface for user profiles. The comments on the preview’s page offer a really interesting look into considerations from all sorts of users. A lot of them remind me of the feedback they received on the site redesign last year (for example, the “Facebook is turning into MySpace” and “you’ll lose a lot of users if you do this” posts).
If you’re at all interested in the revision process of a site with tens of millions of users and the ensuing hurdles faced by making any sort of change, you’d probably be interested in following this group.
