We are just beginning the process of moving people over to the new Facebook and saying goodbye to the old Facebook. The new Facebook has been available for a few months for general use, and we've been iterating on it for a long time. We set out to make Facebook simpler, cleaner, more relevant, and easier to control. With your feedback and participation—over 30 million people are now using the new site—we believe we've gotten to the best Facebook yet.

Even if you've already adopted the new Facebook, you'll notice some updates to its look. Based on your feedback, we've simplified the top navigation. We also heard that people were confused about how to find their applications, so we are moving the Applications menu to the menu bar at the bottom of every page. This will make it much easier to get to your favorite applications whenever you want.

The new design is different, and we understand that some people will be uncomfortable with the changes. But over time, we think people will appreciate the advantages of the new design and the new features it offers. Thanks to everyone who took the time to write in and report bugs, give suggestions, and offer their thoughts. It's helped us create something we are really proud of. Please explore the site and keep letting us know what you think.



Mark is the Product Manager for the new Facebook.
