It is perhaps a bit incongruous to think of Facebook as being something that is behind the times, but when you stop to consider things more closely, it actually makes quite a bit of sense. Facebook is in a sector of the economy that changes faster than anything else ever conceived and because of that the stuff that Facebook has as part of their website has the potential to become obsolete at a much faster pace than Microsoft or any of the other first wave computer companies.
The top dog at Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, said exactly that when speaking at a conference about digital technology. He said that Facebook would be creating a whole new look in order to easier facilitate the steadily growing amount of content they have on their website and he even went so far as to say that the boxes look that Facebook is so famous for would be one of the first casualties in the quest to create a website that is much better at collating, cataloguing and filtering through all of the massive amounts of content that the website now contains.
So what does this mean for the average Facebook user? Probably nothing anytime soon, but it could mean that your surfing experience will get a lot more interesting when the new design has been completed.
