Facebook Learned Its Lesson
Bad? Brilliant?

After having it's Feed fed to it for lunch by almost three quarters of a million users protesting the feature last fall, Facebook was much more cautious when it rolled out the new interface and features that hit the site last night. For one thing, they actually seem to make the site more usable, with the introduction of the obviously useful regional network pages, complete with a wall and what not.

But if 740,000 people will join a group complaining, how many will join a group to test and comment on the new features? Well, it seems like a hell of a lot. Facebook decided to take their input from committed users before foisting it upon the user base over night through a Facebook group, and 113,000 people joined to try it out and give comments.

Well done, folks.

I'm very glad they involved lots of end-users in the changes... I'm still really pissed that they haven't yet made the "Political Views" as editable as the "Religious Views" field. Come on, Mark Z!
