Mass protest seems to be the typical reaction to every change Facebook makes to its design and layout. The new look that greeted users this month was no exception.
It has been about three weeks since the site, which just celebrated its sixth anniversary, introduced the changes, and the hate campaigns are already in full flow.
The biggest change is to homepage navigation. The left-hand menu has become a host of dashboards, which is meant to make it easier to browse friends' content. The new message centre means messages can be sent without navigating away from the homepage.
Another big change is that notifications, requests and messages also moved; you now receive a red bubble when someone has written on your wall or tagged you in a photo.
Facebook believe the changes make things simpler. 'We hope the simplified design of the homepage will make it easy for you to stay connected with the people, applications and activities that matter the most to you,' engineer Jing Chen said on the Facebook blog. But users' reviews have been mixed.
Facebook user Olivia Colamonico replied: 'You really need to change [back to] the old Facebook. I hate this new one. I can't find anything.'
