Of course the click-thru's are dismal. I quickly tired of the new Facebook layout with all it's noisy ads. It's starting to look like MSN, the worst home page on the Internet. Fortunately, the classic layout is still available.

What is so bad about the new FB layout? "Change" is part of any user interface or website. Technology and user interfaces will all change and grow over time for various reasons. As for the Facebook advertisements, I've never clicked as many online ads as I have on Facebook. I even enjoy rating the ads that are relevant (or not) to me. I prefer Facebook ads over any other advertising other than paid search.
