The new look for SG

20

What do you all feel about the new look of SG? I'm curious. Whereas before we had "friends," and a easy list of those we have befriended, now we have "following" and being followed. I can't find any list any more. That seems to be gone or am I not looking in the right place.

As well, before you could look at a whole page of thumbs for new sets for "Hopefuls" and one for "SG" girls. You could maneuver quickly through the list to look at people you are interested in. Now you get bigger thumbnails but when you ask for more, only a few more come up, but if you select one, you are back to the first few sets on the first page and have to add "more" again to get back to where you were. That is, to my mind, not very helpful if you've been away for a week or two and want to browse through the sets you missed to catch up.

After being away for about a week, I found a "what do you think of our new look?" message when I opened the site, but after I looked and wanted to ask questions, I found the message had disappeared. Hum..... I'm puzzled. Am I missing something here?

What do you think?

There is something less personal about "following" a person than asking a person to be on a "friend" list. One takes agreement, the other is just a preference. One takes two people to make a decision, the other is unilateral. If you think about it, there is also something creepy about "following" a person rather than befriending a person. The site becomes less personal and less about communicating with others on your friend list. I've stopped contributing and writing friends when they have new posts for that reason and because of the fact that after you go off the current page and go back in time, it is cumbersome to move around the new sets. In other words, you stay current or it becomes difficult to move around the sets. Moving around your "friends/following" list also is more cumbersome. This is a sad development for a site that had a a reputation of being community oriented.

I suggested to the site that it rectify the problem of moving to older sets and moving around the list of friends (oops, followers) listing, but that fell on deaf ears. I don't think I will continue being a member of the site because of this, even though the ladies on the site are all as lovely as ever. As well, what I have seen is that you can tell people who have been on the site for longer than a year. For the most part, they have a fairly even ratio between those they are following and those that follow them. Newer members have a very small (again, for the most part) number of people they are following and a much larger following list. That supports my view that the site is changing and becoming less interactive between the members. Sad.
