Facebook Users Criticize Site's Latest Makeover

From PC World: Three days after the latest makeover of Facebook's home page , hundreds of thousands of unhappy users are voicing their frustrations about the changes.

Facebook has been rolling out updates to its homepage pretty consistently and this isn't the first time that users have been heated and vocal in criticizing the moves. In the latest makeover, which came last Friday, the social networking site started offering two views of the News Feed -- a summary view of highlights of the last day and a real-time view.

"You will be able to catch up on what you may have missed while you were away from Facebook, and then easily switch to the real-time stream when you want to see posts as soon as they're shared," said Raylene Yung, a Facebook engineer, in a blog post. "We also added information back to News Feed that many of you have asked for, including when your friends have been tagged in photos or have become fans of Pages, in addition to when they RSVP for events or join groups and make new friends. We also made birthdays and events more visible in the right column of the home page."

Yung noted that the Highlights section that used to appear on the right-hand-side of the page has been taken out and that its information has been moved into the News Feed in the main part of the page.
