The New Facebook

I can tell you right now, that there are about 1,000,000 strong who truly hate the "New Facebook" that began to show up around late July.  Word on the street says, the new version will be the ONLY version within a month.  How do people feel about that?

They're pretty pissed off.

But it's so insane to me how people spend so much time complaining about the new version of Facebook.  I mean, there is nothing that you can't do from before, it's literally just in a different format.  It is less cluttered, and revolves around the Wall, which is the most up to date aspect of your profile.  The fact is, you are getting information about your Facebook friends quicker and easier than before.  If I'm not mistaken, Facebook is ultimately a networking tool, right? It's not a game site, it's not a dating service, and it's not a place for you to have your own space in which you html the hell out of it.  It is a networking tool.  You communicate.  And if anyone has noticed, you can do that just fine with the new Facebook.  Even more, you can do it easier now.

So why are you people complaining?
Can we get just a little perspective in here?
It's Facebook.
Feel the love.

I whole-heartedly agree, bud.

The biggest change was the integration of the mini-feed with the wall. You are now able to comment on status changes, posted items, and other feed stories. It made it really easy for me to connect with friends around their Facebook activity. Also, the wider resolution and the info tab are inspired changes.
