Facebook is preparing for redesign and mass protests
Over the past year, the Facebook audience has almost tripled from 24 million to 70 million people, and the number of third-party applications on the Facebook platform has increased to 20,000. Because of these applications, the site’s pages look overloaded, and some of them look like the effects of a disaster. In such a situation, the site management has set a specific task for designers: to carry out a general cleaning to reduce the clutter of pages, to make more logical navigation through the site and content classification.
It is planned to create a menu system in the form of tabs. For example, for applications they will make a separate “Programs” menu, and all web gadgets will be transferred there. For third-party developers will open a special "sandbox", where they can experiment with their programs in terms of the new design.
Work on the new design began in January, and the site will be updated in June. Despite the completely well-intentioned leadership of Facebook, redesign plans have caused a sharp rejection of some users. They don’t want to change anything on their favorite site at all. Managers are preparing for mass protests in advance.

Since the website was founded a little over four years ago, there have already been two major protests.
In 2006, users protested against the new feature of the “news flow”, which broadcasts in RSS almost all of their activity on the site. Under the onslaught of users, the developers modified this option so that everyone could customize it to their own taste. Last year, the 24-year-old founder of the Zuckerberg site had to apologize again to millions of users for the new advertising targeting system, which tracked the behavior of Facebook users, even on other sites on the Internet. After the protests, the developers added the ability to disable the "spy", although it is still activated for all by default.
In terms of growth, Facebook has now become the most powerful Internet company since Google. Not surprisingly, Google is the main source to replenish the growing staff of Facebook. There go the best programmers and top managers of Google .
