Facebook’s new Facelift

Facebook is due a Spring clean, and first on the list is clearing out all the clutter. The new look is likely to remove a lot of the third party applications currently displayed on your page—personal information, photos, the continually updating news feed, and the “wall”, where users can post comments, for example—and divide them onto separate pages and accessible through distinct tabs.
”People are starting to feel that Facebook is quickly becoming like MySpace,” says Adam Ostrow, editor-in-chief of Mashable.com, the online social networking news site.
There is a groundswell of opinion that Facebook was in danger of selling out in the dash to feature new (often ad-based) content. Let’s hope this is a step back to it’s more user friendly origins.
