That high-pitched whining sound emitted from Facebook users about the social network’s recent redesign has finally made an impact. Director of Product Chris Cox has outlined a redux of the redesign, intended to give users more control over users’ now instant stream of postings implemented to give the site Twitter-like functionality. New controls will include live updating (without having to refresh the page) as well as additional tools to moderate the flow of app content that friends pump into your stream. The resistance movement waged from a relatively small subset of Facebook users raises some prickly issues for the world’s largest social network, or for any interactive service that serves millions of users for that matter. Change is hard to swallow for some, particularly by loyal users who have grown accustomed to a particular interface through hundreds of hours of time spent. But social networks are living breathing things that must adapt with the times, lest they be replaced. (Remember when Friendster was top dog?) Cable companies will ponder this precise issue next week as they consider just how much they’d like to remake their user experience. On the one hand there’s a whole generation of viewers who are used to a web-like experience. They are the future. On the other is the older demo used to scrolling, linear interfaces. They tend to watch a whole lot more television and also tend to be the ones who write the largest checks every month.
