AllFacebook: Is Facebook Redesigning Their Header Again?

  • Clark · 1 year ago
    I had the same header about an hour or so ago, but it's switched back now.

    I've got it right now and I like it. My name was unnecessary there, and even though I always use the logo as my home button, the home label is a lot tidier.

    And yes, both the profile and name link to your profile...

    I have that new interface now on my Facebook.

    I also have the new header. Both facebook logo and home are linking to the home page, with different ref parameters ref=home and ref=logo. Same for the two profile links with ref=profile and ref=name.

    I got the same new header. Don't people know that the logo is usually the "way home"? Arrgg

    Facebook and MySpace are different in some ways than many new sites in terms of design and navigation.

    It is the new standard it seems, on sites like Flickr, imeem, iLike, etc., for the word "Home" to link to the user dashboard (which is what Facebook now does), but the company logo links to the site' s main page. But since Facebook doesn't have a main page, they obviously use it as another link to the dashboard.

    I definitely see why they would add "Home" because the dashboard is a major focus now with all the new feeds and filters, etc. and many social networking users are getting used to clicking "Home", not the company logo, to get to the dashboard.

    then why keep both? btw thats probably why they have the ref parameter. They are counting how many people click on the logo and on Home. I will spend 5h everyday spam clicking the logo, and they will perhaps remove the Home button :D
