Facebook gets a facelift...again. - Page 2

The rounded corners on images are ugly as sin. I remember when that look was all the range in the very early part of this decade.

Another thing I've wondered, hasn't Facebook effectively killed the market for Applications? You can't display them on your profile, and I never get invites to add any anymore. When they came out, they were Facebook's great monetizing hope. Now they seem to have vanished.

I give Facebook another two years before it's another AOL - a liability if you publicly admit to being a member. LinkedIn is a much better alternative, and is actually beginning to help me do business.

+1 on both of these. I hear nothing about Applications these days.

Actually, I was part of several focus groups early on, back when you needed an EDU account to join. I remember suggesting that I'd prefer sections to be modular so you could drag sections that were more important to you above the fold, or off to the side. Others must have suggested this as well since they did incorporate it in one of the minor facelifts. However, they ditched that, along with lots of other good changes, during their 1st major design change. It is annoying that you are at the whim of the designers, but I guess it's better than letting people use annoying layouts with music and flashing animation.

And it is a good thing to be sure. Horrible, horrible application spam.

Microsoft let the office 2007 UI team go and facebook said "hey, these guys did a *great* job and their labor is cheap"?

I wish they would just leave it alone.
