So pinterest is a fail?
Nice logical fallacy.

but facebook doesn't choose what photos get uploaded. They simply provide the platform for it and the content is up to the users. Most users take photos with camera phones, not DSLRs.
your argument is fallacious in that i never made the assertion that Facebook chose what photos got uploaded. my point is exactly the opposite of that. (but i reserve some responsibility here- see my other response which clarifies a fallacy in my own argument). a. Facebook does not get to choose what photos get uploaded b. Facebook knows the overwhelming majority of these photos are of poor quality as such, it would b…
The point is, the new layout discussed here relies in some way on the pictures being not shitty. The discussion here is about a layout for content that is not under Facebook's control.

Cover photo a bad idea? Thats a weird thing to say because after facebook made cover photos available twitter got a header cover, then google plus, and even app.net... The cover photo tells a lot about the person
Sure, it does. But they're also overwhelmingly crappy for most "normal" folks: pixelated, blurry, poorly cropped.
It's much easier to make it look "gorgeous" when the timeline is full of gorgeous people, beautifully photographed.
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

It's not a logical fallacy. People complain about 2-column layout of timeline and 2+-column layout of this "new look", because they have too many columns to follow at the same time , while I have yet to see anyone complaining about 5+-column layout of Pinterest.
I cant understand how this design type is liked so much. I find the whole "flat" thing confusing and counter intuitive, and these days not exactly new. Given the title, I was hoping for something original.

uh....You do realize that almost every photo on FB is user-generated, right?
your confusion may stem from the fact that i mistook the original analogy. they were calling the shirt into question. my response was calling the model into question. my mistake should be clear if you read both posts carefully. i will elaborate just in case. every photo on Facebook is user generated. an overwhelming majority of them are bad photos. Facebook is completely aware of this. as such, it would be an irrespo…
I respectfully submit that had what you meant to say been so clear, or had you followed your own advice to "read both posts carefully", perhaps you wouldn't have made the mistake twice.

The assumption is that because both designs share a common attribute they are both intended for the same purpose and therefore if one design is bad for a particular reason, the other design must also be bad for the exact same reason.
This isn't necessarily true with Pinterest, which has a different purpose to Facebook, and therefore likely requires a different UI.
