Facebook and MySpace recently redesigned their sites, but Forrester's Web Site Review methodology still uncovered major usability flaws on both. Of the 10 criteria we examined, Facebook passed four and MySpace passed only three. The sites shared some common problems like inefficient task flows, illegible text, and scarce security policies. But the experiences weren't all bad. Facebook gave key content prominence on its home page and helped users find new contacts. MySpace provided a flexible way to search its site. Customer experience professionals at these and other sites should get the most out of their site redesigns by evaluating their experiences, attacking problems with known solutions, and designing for the unique needs of younger users. ...

While the number of Facebook users that have signed up to protest the social net's Redesign represents only a fraction its 100 million members, the movement continues to gain attention. Over the past few months, dozens of groups have popped up on Facebook to voice displeasure at the changes. As USAT notes , one group has attracted 1 million members. The changes include separating members' profile info into different areas of the site. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said that he's seen this kind of thing before—such as when the site first introduced the "news feed" feature two years ago. And it doesn't appear as though the protests are going to lead to any mass defections. But one change that did quickly blow up in the social net's face was last year's Project Beacon ad program. A number of reports in the past week indicate that Facebook might be reviving Beacon. In a post on his blog, Stay N Alive (via Mashable ), developer Jesse Stay says that while Project Beacon never really went away, Facebook may be readying it for a bigger comeback. Beacon, which shared details about member purchases as part of the news feed, stopped accepting new marketers last fall after an outcry from users and privacy advocates. Stay relates a message he saw in a Facebook developer forum about another member's experience signing up for CBSSports.com's Free Fantasy Football feature. A popup announcing the developer had signed up for the game appeared o ...

Ignore the haters -- Facebook's new look is going over just fine. That was the message from Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, who was interviewed by BusinessWeek editor Steve Adler at the American Magazine Conference. Sandberg acknowledged that the social networking site has roused some users' ire with its recent Redesign . The upside, she said, is most of them are venting their anger right on Facebook. "People are using our product to protest our product," he said. "That's good. The fifth most popular group on Facebook right now is protesting the Facebook Redesign. And I do see the humor in that." She compared the backlash to the one that occurred upon the introduction of Facebook's Newsfeed feature . "We're optimistic that people are going to get used to it and like it as they did with Newsfeed," she said. "Newsfeed is probably the single most important thing that's made Facebook work." "Joking aside, it's going quite well," she added. "We're actually quite pleased with it. The real thing we want to look for is if usage falling off, and we're not seeing that at all."
