That was quick

This is soooo funny: people are freaking out about the "new" icon on Twitter.

so is the new icon a mistake? or is this a sneak peak of the new 'flat' design?

Why has no one mentioned the biggest change to the Facebook app of all - the new navigation tabs at the bottom replacing the traditional People, Chat, and Notifications buttons on the top? Makes Facebook act & look a lot more like Twitter or any other native iPhone app. Makes me like the app a lot more than before with this simple change.
Does the app still do the hang-10 crash?
This is what I call it when I am browsing my feed and suddenly something "snags" (I assume it's trying to load something in the background), halting all scrolling and event handling. The screen just looks frozen.
Then I hit the Home button, go back to the app launcher, then go back into Facebook. I get the blank screen, and start counting 10 seconds. At exactly 10 seconds, it will crash and dump me back to the home screen.
Happens to me just about every day. My iPhone 4 feels slower than ever, and this app isn't helping at all.
I keep my apps updated because I don't like the red notification numbers staring at me. What I have doesn't match up with my previous usage of the app and how it looks in the screenshots on the iTunes Store. I guess I could have missed the change before but I use Facebook enough that I'm highly suspect.

Strange. I'd update to 6.1.1 or reinstall 6.1 but I kinda dig the more natural UI elements. Think I'll keep it for now until there is a reason to move beyond 6.1.
that's odd.. so you completely removed the app and re-downloaded and still looks the same
No, I'm avoiding redownloading or removing 6.1 (or updating to 6.1.1) because I like the look. Just wondering if anyone else had that happen after updating. Works perfectly fine that I can tell.
Either it's some sort of a bad install, or perhaps it's something part of the new newsfeed related changes that have been rolling out (slowly) for a little while now, as mentioned at http://www.facebook.com/about/newsfeed. More likely it seems like a weird/bad install of some sort.I keep my apps updated because I don't like the red notification numbers staring at me.
