Who is Farhan Lalji?

I received a notice some time ago to try the new Facebook. I tried it for a day, didn’t like it and kept on using the old version. I spoke to some other friends and no one is really digging the new design. Are you using it?

Seeing the notice “the new Facebook, try it now” at the top of my page is pretty useless I’ve tried it, didn’t like it, case closed. I don’t know why they’ve redesigned it in the first place. I guess they have to do something with all their investors’ money.

Think you should have a clear idea on why you’re undertaking a redesign and you should make sure the redesign is for a valid reason. Some redesigns are needed, to make more money, because there’s new technology, because the old design is looking really dated. Facebook looks like they’ve done the redesign to bury some of the not so nice applications – basically things that make money for other companies.

I’ve been using F’book less and less these days (in fact if the blog wasn’t reblogged on the platform not sure if I’d use it that much at all) and if they force the redesign on everyone I’m guessing that might be the final nail in my usage coffin.
