I like that they cleaned it up but there are some text overflows at some places and a few other UI bugs

I haven't seen it yet. I'm fairly new to FaceBook so I'll probably be one of the last ones to get an upgrade. I'm using it to soft market my safety and security products so I have lots of friends to stay in touch with and all of the images slow me down.

My hope is that most of the videos, images and graphics will be contained on a separate tab so those of us doomed to dial-up can visit our friends pages quicker.

This is the death of application development on FaceBook. Hiding applications that have been so widely used in a tab at the top of the page? It is like giving developers a tool and then pulling it away from them. Sure it needed to be redesigned, but FaceBook has killed the application marketplace. So long FaceBook, it was good knowing you... on to OpenSocial...

I think the New Facebook takes and breaks what was simple, elegant and useful and replaces it with a variety of tabs that hide, disassemble and confuse the carefully crafted narratives and preferences that millions and millions of users chose with purpose. There is about 400 percent more advertising space on the New Facebook. Um, yay? Did we want that?
