A Look Behind Facebook's New Design

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

If you haven't seen it yet, Facebook has an awesome new design. I wanted to hear more about it from the guy managing the team that did it. Here's Mark Slee, lead product manager at Facebook giving us insight into how they worked it out. Oh, and you'll get a rare look into the executive offices at Facebook.

The new facebook design looks quite interesting. I spent a lot of hours browsing and it's definitely far from boring.

I'm very impressed with the products Zoho has been creating. I think they have quickly become one of the leaders for web apps.

Notch me up for not digging the new facebook design either. It is not user friendly at all.

I really despise the new facebook design.

I kind of like the new design, gives it a cleaner look to me.

When he declares the fact that you can switch back to the old design, and uses the truck passing analogy, now that no-one can switch back, would you say that the truck analogy is correct, just that it is a very slow moving truck?

I now enjoy 400% more advertising space on my facebook page. What an "improvement"...

At the very least they could give people the option to chance back to the old facebook.

Couldn't be seen to be losing ad-revenue now though could they?

It is after all, not about us, it's about them and their money.
