There’s probably some truth to that. On the other hand, if the changes were better accepted, wouldn’t that group-think movement have been about how people liked the changes?

I agree that social networking enables momentum and over-reaction. Does that mean that these sites will need to pay more attention to a smaller group of people instead of less attention? A smaller group of people will be able to create a louder voice because everyone is online.

Thanks for the nod on development process!

What I am saying is that your aproach is correct, but in this case, people in FB is succeptible to “gossip” , “trends” and vogue. In this case, I think the reaction is overestimated by a lot of people that might even like the changes, but as all their friends are also “deniying” it, and therefore, they join that group, without even agreeing completetly, you see. But for the rest, I completely agree with you that the right way to go in software development is to make prototypes (when possible) and add feedback loops.
