My Lament Over Fan Pages

I wanted to give myself a few days to check out the facebook fan pages before I posted about it. Honestly... I have to say I dislike the new design. Perhaps with time it will grow on me but I truly liked the way it "used to be" when all the pertinent information was on the front page for all to see. Now vistors have to click on "boxes" to get to all of the "important" information.

I use the term important loosely because anything REALLY important probably shouldn't be posted on Facebook to begin with. The new "stream" is a positive update but again I just feel like that's all students will look at and never see the really "meat" of the page. 

However, fan pages do now look more like profiles so if users are  used to clicking on all those boxes in order to obtain information on profiles, perhaps they will do the same with fan pages. We shall see. 

I am interested in others reactions to the new roll out. The status updates are great though! Can't thank the FB team for those enough. 

Maybe its time to rethink the love affair with Facebook... I keep thinking that twitter is about to break out into the mainstream. Hearing more and more about it in the mainstream media which always means more "followers".
