The Facebook Migration Is Now Complete

October 6th, 2008

For users and app developers, the migration from the old to the new Facebook is now complete.

The “www.new.facebook.com” domain is a thing of the past, though not without a hiccup - Facebook temporarily disabled apps.new.facebook.com a few times this weekend without notifying developers ahead of time, causing many app developers to experience drops in traffic. The DNS issues have now been resolved (pardon the pun), and everyone is back to using the standard facebook.com domain as of this evening.

The completed migration marks the end of a long saga for Facebook. October 2008 marks the beginning of the next phase in the evolution of Facebook both as a communication platform and as an application platform. I’m sure the next year will definitely be as eventful as the last!

Interestingly, you can still access everything via the http://www.new.facebook.com domain. I’ve had that one bookmarked so I wonder how long they’ll keep it active.
