Its WTF for me. So confusing. Why Facebook? Its so ugly with its rounded edges and crap. EEEK it makes me want to puke. so roundy and wierd. People are so confused they are scared of using it. So my stream hasn't updated for hours. This is the worst thing Facebook has done. I don't like it. buut you know what. Facebook, isn't going to listen. We'll just have to get used to what ever they smash into our face.

i disagree... i was a bit skeptical of the last redesign but this one enhances clarity and usability significantly...

FYI I submitted a similar thread yesterday.

Some interesting comments on there :)

EDIT: the rounded edges are annoying me the most :(

Im somewhat gutted because I am still 6 months or more off of launching our social network. If i had known in advance of this crap change I suspect we could have skimmed a good few users from FB :(

www.livemeta.net :)

Non-functinonal/alpha at the moment (we are reworking some of the core). :)

Obviously as we get closer to launch I'll ask HN to give it a good critique :D
