The New Facebook

"Ah, the sun has sunken below yonder horizon! Must be time to update FaceBook!" exclaimed Mark Zuckerberg.

Sometimes I wonder why FaceBook decided to reinvent the wheel every few months with convoluted and unnecessary updates. To be honest, the way they first had it was fine. The lay-out was simple, clean, and intuitive. The second format, met with much adversity, brought about tabs that simplified some aspects of the site, but complicated others (such as now multi-tabbed profile views). Now, in the last few weeks, FaceBook went beserk again, dropping the tabbed main screen and moving navigation to the left. Now we are treated to "up to the second updates" (which is BS) and a system of status updating that seems no different than posting on your own wall. Is it worth it Mark? Honestly, is it? Only the next iteration of FaceBook will tell.
