The fastest-growing population on Facebook are persons thirty-years-old and older. We embrace Facebook for the same reason we rejected MySpace: the layout is more mature. It's clean. Simple. Uncomplicated. It is a design that an adult would appreciate. A nice departure from MySpace pages, which tend to be cluttered with badges, sound files, and scrolling pictures. MyStuff pages have the charm of a pre-teen's messy bedroom floor.
But Facebook is quickly losing the benefit of a mature design. My Facebook newsfeed today contained the following:
--"Which Jane Austin character are you?"
--"Which '80s movie describes you?"
--"What are your top five favorite breakfast cereals?"
This content is not worthy of a mature design.
