CNN's recent article about Facebook's new facelift is yet another social media slap in the face. These sites are everywhere. Facebook's updated look toggles between a main view, which features stories from friends based on the user's habits, and a live feed that features real-time updates from the whole network.
What started as a single-campus site has ballooned into one of the most popular sites on the web. It's a full-blown business. The change in the homepage was made to allow Facebook fanatics to easily find what they missed while they were away- at class, at soccer practice, asleep... "You see the best of the previous day," said product manager Peter deng.
God forbid someone logs off the computer to attend class or sleep. Facebook is the newest craze- a major part of people's day- and the new main page sounds more like a sports highlight reel than a website. What's next?
