Looks nice, but - and don't necessarily take this as an insult - it seems very "Microsoftish" for some reason. Nevertheless, I like it!

#142My eye is all over the place with these designs. Very difficult to distinguish content/photo pairings.

#144Visually 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).

Exactly. I do like the visual updates but I think the focus wasn't on making it a better experience.
Although, the effort should be applauded none the less. While I don't agree with the execution, it doesn't mean someone shouldn't get any credit for the endeavor.

#145I love that these slides only show white people. Looks the same to me.

http://informationarchitects.net/blog/ias-2006-facebook-desi... Here's an earlier (2006!) redesign by Information Architects (iA). I think this is a lot cleaner and solves the information overload problem better.
Now this is awesome. No room for ads though, so I doubt anything like it will ever happen.

I always thought the timeline was the worst thing that could happen to the your profile usability wise ... I was just proven wrong.
What were your issues with timeline usability wise? I think it's great, so genuinely curious.
Not so much the timeline, but the constantly changing "Sort:[most recent / top stories]" setting is frustrating.
I really only ever want that to be on most recent.
My other problem with Facebook interface is that I just don't know where to go to "do stuff" - eg: if I want to unlike a company page. There's a bunch of little icons in the top blue bar (10 clickable things in that bar), and then there is the list down the LHS, and the almost hidden follow / report this post button.
I do like the fact that it's being refined; I notice the occasional difference. And the new privacy announcements were clear enough.
I guess I don't use FB like most people use FB. I only have less than 50 friends and I don't like a bunch of products or companies.

#148Aside from the obvious "this looks like the new myspace and windows 8 mashed together", I would be curious to see how this concept would fare with what people ACTUALLY post to Facebook. People with no concept of image quality or resolution. People I call my friends :)
Those were my exact initial thoughts. I am surprised this isn't the most highlighted aspect to be honest.
