Love the design and new ideas. Although judging by the way facebook has been moving it lacks 1 main ingredient, Ads.

I know I hate them as much as you do, yet still buy them, but keep in mind that ad integration should be not only important with design but a must.

Just my $0.02 :)

Visually pretty, but the grid is completely non-functional. I don't know where to start looking to get at the information I go to Facebook to find. The other pages look better, but still seem to be a summation of current design trends rather than any sort of innovative new way to display the information (which is fine, but not interesting to me).

I also agree that it looks a lot nicer because of the high-end stock photos.

Edit: scrolling down further, there are some other UI refreshes that I do think improve the experience overall - the calendar and photo album views stood out to me. But I think it's important to use ugly people with weird names in your designs to gauge how it will actually look in production! The dark theme on pages, for example, looks very clean with Apple and Adobe as featured, but I imagine will look pretty dreary to stare at all day.

Came here to say this. "Eye candy" != easy to use.
