Yeah this is old news. But a friend keeps insisting why the old facebook layout is better basically for negligent reasons such as "It's not the same" and "all my stuff isn't on one page". I keep trying to explain to him why it's better - from a designers standpoint as well as being a facebook user.
pros:
-Much cleaner overall in terms of aesthetic and functionality
-Separation of content creates a much less cluttered interface, also helps organize the content more efficiently
-More customizable
-Better integration of appsCons:
-Seperation of content forces users to navigate to get to it
-all of the feed/wall/modules aren't on one page
-apparently runs a lot slower in IE for certain users...Not that I necessarily agree with the cons. But am just looking for other designers/users to back me up on why it's better so I can throw it in this guys face. Thx.
