For a quite long time there was nothing but unclear screenshots but at last Facebook decided to tell about its coming site redesign on Wednesday. According a company representative the redesign will make it more comfortable for members to have instant and active updates from their friends on the network and it will also decrease some of the profile disorder allocating user information with a set of tabs instead of all of it on one page.

“No matter whether the change is small or large in any of user interface there is a certain risk involves in it.” told developer Kyle bragger to CNET News.com, he further added that sometimes more confusion follows a big decision and in such sort of user interface decisions one must really consider the audience.

There are more than 70 million members of Facebook and most of them don’t reckon themselves tech-wise and a massive renovate wouldn’t be a smooth concern for everyone.
According to one developer, who asked to remain unidentified, the members wouldn’t like the fact that you can’t view Facebook profile on a single page any more it snatches users’ option to develop an exclusive profile page they are identified with.

But still it is difficult to guess the general response particularly when no outsider has tested the new design yet. There is not a really nice history about major changes to FaceBook.

Nick O’Neill, a blogger behind all Facebook states that the redesign that switches up the profiles on people will be like switching to Windows XP to Vista .No doubt Vista is cool but what the use of it if you don’t have any idea to use any of its tools and in such conditions preference must be staying with Windows XP.

In the meanwhile, some developers are also of the view that it is appreciable that Facebook will be able to convey further instant information into news feeds that are highly developed and looking ahead for an extended profile environment that can’t be packed into a single page.
