Did you hire a bunch of shitties for this horrible design concept? Why did you invest time and resources into this? Why are you trying to fix something that isn’t broken?

There was only one flaw with Facebook and that was the introduction of applications. While at least that concept had promise and had actual useful functions, it was a destroyer of bandwidth. Between rotting zombies, fucking vampires, and pointless additional walls, you just couldn’t escape it. And then on top of all the random ass images from those shitty apps, someone went and made an application to display random ass images without a purpose. Yeah, even I have the bumper sticker application. Everyone does and that’s why it takes full minutes to view someones page sometimes. Whatever, it’s been implemented and I understand that. Great. Whatever. Let’s use it.

But then you pull this horrible three-column design out of no where. I undestand you needed to get applications off of the front page of people’s profiles. I’m completely for that, but why did you have to completely remove any originality Facebook had in doing so? I liked the old layout. I’m pretty sure most people liked the old layout.

So here’s a better option. Let’s go back to the old page but rip out the ability to put apps on your front page. Instead, we basically do what you had started doing with extended profiles, but make it mandatory. Put a giant ass button at the top that would load a second page dedicated to an user’s application. If someone wanted to view them, they then could. That’s basically what you’ve done here. . . You didn’t need to include the new eye-raping design feature.

I didn’t need that. If I wanted it, someone could have written an application. . .
