Facebook Cripples New Homepage Poll

March 23rd, 2009 by Jared Bothwell

facebookI saw this on that Facebook have moved to restrict the distribution of the ‘New Layout Vote.

It seems that a lot of Facebook users are not happy with the new look which has helped spawn one of the fastest growing Facebook apps yet.

I can’t help think that bashing website changes is becoming quite a trend. As soon as a popular site makes some changes to their website a large number of vocal dissenters seems ready to mobilise and criticise any changes. Maybe the changes are not that good or maybe people are just resistant to change and the nature of the Internet means that an angry posse is easy to mobilise.

    Although the fact that the poll results are that 94% of users don’t like the redesign would be sending some type of message.
