try this url: http://www.new.facebook.com/home.php
anyways, it really cleans up your profile. this url explains it i think: http://www.facebook.com/FacebookPreviews
Meh... It's ok I guess. Right now I find it a little weird but I'm giving myself time to adjust to it. I think that there's too much white space though which makes it seem too blank but maybe it'll grow on me. I also don't like how all of the apps disappeared and you have to reload them or is that just me?
i didn't like it very much at first, mainly the combined wall and mini-feed. but i really like it now. everything is much more organized. 
I thought it was very confusing at first, but then again, when I first FIRST used facebook it seriously confused me...
Overall though it's nice, much cleaner, although being able to easily post a picture into your wall & it now taking much longer to upload an entire album, not so good...

i honistly think it sucks.
they could of done much better.
i just hope always allow you to use the old version.

I think it's complete garbage. It all blends together too much. The wall with the mini-feed is an example. Also, I don't like how my apps just kinda jumped into an unknown cave.
I used this explanation before: It looks like the owner of Facebook took the entire webpage, threw it up in the air, and let it come crashing down onto the floor. Everything looks the same, except its all in different places now. Visually, it's a broken webpage.

doesn't the blog say it will soon be the default for everyone? I don't know if that means you can go back or not.
I agree, but I can understand why they're doing it. Some of my friend's pages where just rediculously huge; they installed every frickin' application out there!! They have no design sense and chucked everything on.
One week on and I'm now starting to like the changes.
Same here. I really love that I don't have to trawl through people's applications, that litter their profiles, to get to their walls which is all I'm really interested in. I think if I had to go back to the old version now, I'd be really frustrated with it.
Hate it. If they resolved these issues:
It would be better than the old Facebook, IMO.
But since these are the 2 main things I use (Wall) and find annoying (Applications - I hate them) - until these are fixed, it will be considered worse than the 'old' Facebook, to me.
I was expecting an iPhone-style interface.
- Changed the wall so you can set a default preference (ie: show a mixture of yours and other peoples feeds, or just other peoples, or just your own)
- Actually moved ALL the applications onto the boxes tab - not just SOME

It's ok. We'll all get used to it and grow to forget the old. Then, in 6 months time we'll look back at the old with disdain. hehe.

It's too wide for my iBook screen. I know a 1024x768 screen is small these days, and I know a fair few websites that are too wide, but the thing that annoys me about it is there's loads of wasted space and it's badly designed. Surely the left column could compress if you made the window narrower, rather than at the moment, it just hides the more important right column. If it was just built as a proper flexible layout it would be fine.
Apart from that, I don't mind it it's hard to find my way around at the moment but I imagine I'll get used to it, and it's great to hide everyone's annoying applications.
