The social networking site Facebook continues to hear from unhappy users about its website redesign that kicked in earlier this month.
Facebook execs announced back in July that the changes were coming, saying then that the tweaks would make the site easier to use.
And now that the new site has replaced the old, millions of members are saying it’s not what it used to be. On the other side of the coin, some users report being happy with the changes and say Facebook is easier to navigate.
However, there are several petitions circulating that seek to change the site back.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the changes place the most recent and relevant content first in people’s profiles, and he understands the complaints.
Facebook, based in Palo Alto, California has been a force on the web since its debut in 2004. With an estimated 100 million users, it’s a company worth billions.
