Looks like Mark Zuckerberg, and the rest of the folks at Facebook, are listening to its users. Zuckerberg just started an official Facebook group to get the option between the two platforms of Facebook (new and old).
After a long hard decision I, Mark Zuckerberg, will bring back the option of New and Old Facebook if 10 million people (which is less than one-tenth of the current active users) join this group/petitioning spot. The reason I am making this group is because I would like to see how many people would really like the choice of the old Facebook. I wanted to make this group in Facebook because it globalizes your opinion with not only words but statistics (which my co-workers and I can examine closely).
If you would like the option to choose between the new and old Facebook please raise your opinion and join this group. Your membership will not be overlooked but closely examined. Thank you for your time.
As of now the wall and discussions etc will be taken off, later they might be added.
Thanks,
Mark Zuckerberg
Join the group and pass it along! [Update 6:07PM: Group has been taken offline.]
This is a great example of the efforts of people, through social media, demanding and getting a response. Like we talked about in class, this is about starting a conversation and responding to the public. Stay tuned to see what happens next!
The social networking giant, Facebook, has recently changed their platform to the "new" Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg, one of the Facebook founders, posted yesterday on the official Facebook blog that "almost all 100 million people around the world on Facebook are using the new design." Wow, that's a lot of people.
So what's the verdict? Are people into the changes that Facebook has made? All signs point to... NO. A number of Facebook groups have sprung up in response to the unwanted change. Below are just two examples of these groups:
These groups are not going unheard! News sources all over the world, such as the Australian Herald Sun and Forbes, have picked up on these stories. Obviously, majority of Facebook users want the old, simple, familiar version of Facebook back that we all have come to know and love.
But will Facebook listen to its displeased members or will it choose to ignore the millions that are not happy with the new format? How do you feel about the "new" Facebook? Would you rather have the option between the two platforms?
