Web 2.0 technology and internet innovation necessarily do not mean complicated interfaces that confuse the user. Applications developed on the web 2.0 platform have the ability to provide a feature rich interface, providing easy access to all innovative applications, yet having provision for further expansion. Facebook's user interface which has been recently revamped to include Timeline is one of the best examples of a feature rich design. Timeline was first optional to facebook users but based on testing and immense positive feedback from users they successfully implemented timeline as the default layout for profiles of users.
As compared to google+, Facebook offers a revamp of the interface keeping their users interested by offering new features to explore. On a personal note I found both these social platforms unique in their representation of their web 2.0 social networking platforms. However facebook with the launch of timeline kept me interested in exploring new features and got me navigating around them in just a few minutes. So which one do you like more? Facebook with the new timeline or Google plus with its ever increasing list of applications integrated to the social networking platform: comment below to show your preference.
