It's much easier to make it look "gorgeous" when the timeline is full of gorgeous people, beautifully photographed.

The main problem I have with the stock photos is that they were all picked to match the color scheme. How is it going to look with random photos and clashing colors?

I just uploaded a version with some crap instead [1], and it still works fine. These Metro styled tiles looks great whatever content you put in, the problem is the space wasted to achieve this look. http://imgur.com/H9Tri

Hey, that's not crap. It's herp herp.

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 ph…

Aside 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.

I also immediately thought that this is very reminiscent of the new myspace look.

It looks like a Microsoft concept. It has nice features, don't get me wrong. But I wouldn't like it to be the new design because of lots of reasons. Mostly because I don't like tile-structure for timelined events. I find that very confusing and looks messy. (Plus looks bad when your window is small).

I like the look, though some of it would need to be changed for functional purposes. My question is...why not implement such an interface via a plugin/extension and actually make it a reality for anyone that wants it? It's possible from a technical standpoint. There are already a few plugins that add themes etc. but not the this extent. That would be an interesting business...create better/specialty interfaces for ut…

These better interfaces are called API clients. The business angle being interesting is something I'd disagree with. Look at what happened to "better interfaces to Twitter."

Actually, a plugin does not rely on the API and would not be an API client.
