We had talked about the Facebook redesign coming up last year where it is planning to make it easier for al users of the social network to have better control over the feeds and notifications as well as giving the whole page a much neater look. The design has actually went live for some of the users out there. Why some? Why can’t they just give users an option to decide if they want to run tests with the new design or continue with the old one?
I think that is pretty important, it is the only way they can actually get to know what users think of it. I mean isn’t it important that they give everyone a fair share to test and know what exactly is the experience with the redesign? I guess this is the same reason why users retaliate as many really don’t follow on the latest development and when Facebook runs test with a select few users and then updates the design, all it sees are users firing up all cylinders.

Though what I really appreciate is the fact that Facebook introduces these changes very slightly and not many users will actually notice it. I still don’t see any changes on my Facebook, is anyone of you readers have a new design? Please share how is your experience and what else can Facebook do to improve user experience?
