Change can be difficult. And when it involves Facebook, users are venting their frustrations on -- where else? -- Facebook. Again.
The hugely popular social-networking site is giving its profile page a face-lift. Although it appears optional for now, not everyone is rushing to hit the like button.
In a blog post Sunday, Facebook said the new profile lets users better tell their personal stories and learn about their friends, with a greater emphasis on photos.
Among the changes: There is now a row of recently tagged photos of users so friends can see what they've been doing, and images appear along with users' interests and experiences. Users can add details on how they spend their time, like work projects, classes they take and sports they play, and can include friends who share the experiences. They can also highlight key family and friends.
When you can use products with your friends and your family and the people you care about, they tend to be more engaging, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a CBS 60 Minutes interview that aired Sunday night.
Facebook's blog post outlining the changes drew more than 5,000 comments by this morning, many of which pleaded for the old profile format. Some complained that certain data or features had disappeared.
