People aren't too happy with the new Facebook. According to a new survey by Sodahead, a social-voting-based site, about 86% of the Facebook users said they strongly disliked the changes that the site recently underwent. The most disapproval for the new features came from teens, with a whopping 91% of that group saying Facebook should nix the changes; 79% of young adults said they disapproved of the new changes. Women were more disappointed about the changes than men; 89% of women called for scrapping the new Facebook; and only 78% of men disapprove of the new features. The only group who liked the changes are information technology employees, 55% of which favored the changes. Other groups that were a little more supportive included people with incomes exceeding $100,000 a year (36%) and college students (30%). Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said at the F8 technology conference Thursday that the changes will help build “a completely new class of social apps,” allowing users to share every facet of their lives on the site. The new Facebook timeline debuts September 29th.
