Over a million people have now voted against recent changes to social networking site, Facebook.

The changes, which have come into effect in the last few weeks, put more emphasis on status updates, relegating photos and videos to the background. Many believe the changes have come about due to the massive rise in popularity for rival site, Twitter.

However, 94% of users have voted against the new format in a recent poll with many asking the question that if it ain’t broke – why fix it?
Naturally Facebook have defended the changes claiming that the new homepage is “one step in the continued evolution of the site” and saying they take their users’ feedback very seriously.

Whether or not these results will be enough to reverse the changes is another matter. Despite their dominance of the social networking market with 175 million users worldwide it seems that the emergence of Twitter has unsettled the once unchallenged giant.

2009 promises to be an interesting year in the battle for social networking supremacy.
