Facebook’s evolution continues

Facebook vows ‘improvements’ after user backlash

Same old story here. Every time a site changes you’re going to have three responses – those who like the new design, those who hate it (and will be most vocal) and those who frankly don’t care – so long as they can do what they need on the site.

I won’t lie – I was super frustrated when Facebook made some initial changes – mostly because a few things seemed to be missing at first. On top of that, I was looking forward to seeing Fan Page updates in the news feed, which wasn’t happening. But then I realized something key: Facebook was making major changes, and I just had to be patient. Every day I’m seeing something new on Facebook – links appear, new features start to work, etc.; so it’s just going to take time.

And it’s going to take even more time as Facebook officials go through thousands and thousands of users’ e-mails to learn what works well in the redesign and what they may need to change (back).

So for one, I’m looking forward to the next few months on Facebook. Who knows if it’ll ever be perfect, but at least the site’s giving perfection shot.

Welcome!

Hi, thanks for stopping by.

The past year has brought about many changes -- one, I'm no longer at the Chicago Tribune. After a great two years there, I've moved on to Creative Director at Consumer Media Network. I'm also no longer "acmaurer" technically, since I married my best friend in June '11. I'm now Amanda Woodhead, but between you, me and the Internet, I'll always be acmaurer. So thanks again for stopping by, and here's to some great conversations.

Want to find me on the Web? I'm acmaurer on most social news and networking sites.
PS, I doubt I have to say this, but this is my personal blog and doesn't reflect the opinion of my employer.
