Majority of Facebook Users Do Not Like the New Layout

Today, I came across an article from TechCrunch reporting that 94% of
Facebook users do not like the Twitter-like interface. Personally, I
find that the new interface is too focused on status messages, which
sometimes can be very interesting and insightful but other times can be
annoying.

I will occasionally come across status messages such as ā€œI’m sick this
morning. I must have eaten the wrong burrito! ā€ They are funny the first
time around but become stale very quickly.

It will be interesting to see if Facebook keeps the new layout or gives
users the option to use the previous layout if preferred (best option).
