Facebook, Biggest Name In Social Networking Got Smaller Overnight.

The ironic part of the story is, that once Facebook got smaller, millions of users complained about it on Twitter immediately on Wednesday morning. The font size of almost the entire website has been, apparently been reduced in size. Folks complained about the tweak, they say that, with their poor News Feed-browsing eyes.
Twitter user @esilverstein complained sarcastically in these words: "Eye doctors everywhere must love the smaller default font onFacebook this morning. Eyes squinting everywhere!”
While other users who commented like @thembithembi had more lik a sillier tone: "What kind of bionic carrot-flavored crack rock are the facebook developers smoking to make the font this small? I call ageism!"
Having quoted that, as we know there are always two sides of a story. Not everyone was unhappy with this change, some users appreciated and welcomed this change by Facebook.
"I'm apparently the odd man out but i've always liked small fonts indesign, so i give two tiny thumbs up to new Facebook font," wrote user kenromano.
As of now surprisingly, there had been no announcement mentioning of the change on its site by Facebook at all.
