Nifty Stopwatch

As Facebook users noticed, yesterday the new design was launched.  While it does look better than the design I remember looking at a month or so ago I still don’t like it that much.  But don’t get me wrong there are things that I do like about the new design but I think some of the useful ness of the old design was lost.

The one thing that I do like is the new home page, It fit’s my browser window a lot better.  Since it is wider information isn’t as small as it used to be.  Overall this look is better than the previous home page.  Photos, I also think they did a good job with these, maybe I just like the little page flipping that it does when you click next.

Now to the Profile, I don’t like how the wall is also part of the feed.  It makes things confusing to me, at least when im trying to see how friends are doing.  I liked it seperate so if I wanted to see what other people were saying I could just scroll down to the wall.  Oh and if you want to check out your friends info you have to click the info tab, its not right on the main page anymore.  It seems like this design is more of twitter / friendfeed, the status update box even says What are you doing right now?

My biggest annoyance, not going to get into app development in this post, is not being able to see what apps your friends have installed right under their picture.  That made it really easy to see what apps friends were using and to get to them quickly.  Now you have to go to boxes and find the app you are looking for.

I have only used the new Facebook design for a few minutes so there are probably more things that I would like about it and more that I dislike.
