Opinion: Facebook's Redisign Failure
Transcript of audio comment:
Hello this is bloggi signing on from the west German city of
Düsseldorf.
Today I would like to talk to you about the re design of
Facebook.
To
cut a long story short: It is the worst heap of crap metal I
have seen in a long time in terms of usability and accessibility.
While all the world goes mobile FACEBOOK ties ball and chains
around the ankles of its users.
As of today, the mobile version of facebook at
m.facebook.com is no longer available. Instead the browser
is forced to whatever national language version there is of the non
mobile website. Hard luck, if you are traveling abroad with a slim
device.
Even to send Facebook feedback on their failure, you need to
run a browser that incorporates Flash. Otherwise, the feedback
window will not open.
What, if you are on a mobile device or simply don't go for
making easy things unnecesarily complex? Well, then Facebook is not
for you any longer.
Finally, have you tried to upload photos to Facebook from
where it is the most interesting? Well.
Out of luck again, if you try it from a mobile.
Unless, that is, you are prepared to pay the ransom fees of
using multimedia messaging. No mobile e-mail address available like
with sensible services to the tunes of Utterz.com or Brightkite.
Conclusion: Eventually Facebook will fade away. Hopefully.
