Yielding to the pressure of its livid users, the social networking site Facebook yesterday announced that it has decided to tweak the unpopular changes that the site fetched to its home page earlier this month, in direct response to users' feedback. Facebook that has been getting harsh and negative feedbacks from its raging users, stated that it has decided to go with the millions of its users that were asking for less change.

On the Facebook Blog posted last night, the Facebook Director of Product, Chris Cox mentioned a lengthy list of features that Facebook will be tweaking, responding to its users' feedback.

Cox wrote, "Since we launched Facebook's home page design, we've received thousands of e-mails, Wall posts and comments from you along with direct feedback from all of our friends and family. If you've already given us feedback, thank you. Redesigns are generally hard to manage, in part because change is always hard and in part because we may miss improvements that any individual user may like to see. We keep in mind that there are 175 million people on Facebook, and everyone uses the site differently."

In a lengthy memo to users, Facebook promised to add more control and relevance in the stream. Facebook wrote, "One of the great parts of Facebook is the ability to share and consume different types of content, such as photos, videos and notes, all in one place. We've heard from you that you want even more variety and control in your stream, and for it to update automatically."

"Some specific improvements we're making are - Live updating: One of the most common requests is the ability to see your stream update automatically. We will be adding the ability to turn on auto updating in the near future so you no longer need to refresh the page. - Photo tags: In order to surface more photos you might like to see, we'll be adding photos tagged of your friends to the stream. This will happen in the coming weeks."

Offering more choices for applications, Facebook wrote, "We've heard feedback that there is a lot of application content appearing in the stream. We will be giving you tools to control and reduce application content that your friends share into your stream. Currently, the content filters on the left screen allow you to select the types of content you would like to see. Over time, we'll continue to give you more control over what's in your main stream and how you consume it. We have the eventual goal of building filters that summarize this activity so you can see a more condensed view of what's been going on. We're also thinking about ways of filtering out some of the Wall posts and content directed to specific people to focus more on posts shared with everyone."

Promising more Highlights to its users, Facebook wrote, "Right now, we're making improvements to the Highlights section on the right-hand side of your home page. Highlights will update more frequently and will show you more content throughout the day to mirror more closely the content that the earlier News Feed provided."

Facebook stated that now it will be easy for users to find things. Facebook wrote, "It's important that you are able to find everything you're interested in, or we're not succeeding in giving you the right level of control. We're currently working on a few design changes to help you find these things more easily." According to Cox, it'll now be easier for users to find what they're interested in. It will now be easier for users to find friend requests and event invites that will now be made more prominent on the page, and it will be easier to create a friends list filter.

Earlier this month, Facebook introduced a number changes, on the pattern of its rival social network Twitter, but the majority of Facebook users were not able to digest the new changes and posted negative feedbacks. The majority of users demanded the old Facebook to return. Thrashed hard by users' feedback, Facebook announced to tweak the unpopular changes.
