Facebook To Change Layout

Facebook, the most popular social networking site traditionally open only to college students/alumni/faculty is planning on going ahead revamping it’s design. Now you might be wondering why such a sucessful company would risk it all on such a bold venture? The answer is more simple than it seems, money. Money makes the world go round, as it is said.

Now the ways Facebook will make money with it’s new layout are simple, more clicks to get where you need to go means more space to shower you with traditionally discrete ads. More ad views means more potential ad clicks, and more ad clicks means more money for the bottom line. Now there are quite a few members against this new idea, as there were quite a few members against letting Facebook open up to the public. However there is little doubt in my mind that the plan will proceed.

What can you do? Traditionally we as Americans tend to think that Democracy is always the way, be it in government or the website we frequent ever so frequently. The truth is, there will be no popular vote, and in a few more weeks the “switch back to old facebook” link won’t be there any more. Now I know that this is sad news, and I know you have a lot to say about it, so please comment on this post and tell me what you think. To comment simply click the post title.
