Website * Apps - Old Designs Vs New

Do you remember the original Facebook, the original Youtube with their lovely blue and white HTML designs?

In all honesty, they haven't changed a huge amount, however, it is still certainly interested to look and see how they've literally developed over the years.

Apps too - although they haven't been around quite as long, are constantly changed to improve user experience, and to fit more adverts in!

Facebook's homepage hasn't actually changed a huge amount. The same colours at least, are still present. The big difference is that it is no longer available just to a handful of college students in America. Again Youtube hasn't altered that much. This may represent the fact that people have very short attention spans and a low amount of patience when browsing online. Any big changes in design and UX could be disastrous for a website. 

If Facebook started the trend/revolution in social media, then Spotify has mirrored this impact in the world of online music.  The app is currently a lot more visual, making songs easier to browse and recognise.
