New Facebook Layout Got You Down?

Facebook rolled out a new layout earlier this week ... I know you noticed. How could you not ... with all of this extra time spent indoors due to #snOMG2 these last few days?!



I caught my first live glimpse of the new homepage layout on Tuesday when I was covering Facebook Fan Pages with an agent in Hellertown. At first, I was excited! I love a new look ... something different and fun. Then I played around with it for awhile and I have to say, I'm not in love.


For me, managing my news feed is very important. I want to see updates from certain people and certain groups quickly and easily. I spent time setting up friend lists and grouping my Facebook connections and then moved those groups into priority order on my homepage. I was happy and life was good. When the new layout popped up, I thought, there must be a way to keep my lovely little lists ... so I searched, and searched and searched.



Well, I still have my lists, but I can't conveniently locate them where I want to ...


























So, not exactly a deal-breaker. Other than this minor inconvenience, it appears to me that most of the homepage items are just moved around a bit. The menu you used to have across the bottom - Applications - Photos - Events - etc. is gone and now up on the left under your photo.

If you manage a Fan Page, note that your Ads and Pages button is now on the left-side menu!

Happy Thursday :)
