<p>The jury is still out with the new <a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/FacebookPreviews#/FacebookPreviews" target="_blank">Facebook Redesign</a>. I took a look at it 2 days ago and at first glance thought it was Good for the most part. Its now wider than it was before and not as congested.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Current Facebook</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2559695980102622633pOwXLW"><img src="http://inlinethumb63.webshots.com/40958/2559695980102622633S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="old_face_book" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><br />
New Wider Look Facebook</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2020013850102622633NlpGUE"><img src="http://inlinethumb16.webshots.com/43023/2020013850102622633S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="new_facebook" /></a></p>
<p>I also did a search on the comments of the <a href="http://2thenextlevel.com/blog/2008/07/10/twitter-gives-solopreneurs-a-social-networking-voice-with-140-characters/" target="_blank">Twitter</a> community on the <a href="http://twurl.nl/val8jo" target="_blank">Facebook Redesign</a> and got some interesting <a href="http://twurl.nl/val8jo" target="_blank">results</a>. Although I liked and was comfortable with the old look I did think there was some room for improvement.  Only time will tell if Facebook made the right decision. One thing I do know is that even with the changes Facebook is still the fastest growing <a class="zem_slink" title="Social network service" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network_service">social network</a> on the Internet and most Solopreneurs and small businesses would be wise to design their own strategy to take advantage of its success.</p>
<p>I would really like to hear back from you on what you think of the Redesign. If you have not seen the new look just log in to your Facebook account and click on the link below.</p>
