1. I used to be with "it," but then they changed what "it" was...
Not what I'm with isn't "it," and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me...

The "new" Facebook frightens me. I don't WANT my Facebook to look all weird! x(

3. Yeah, the "new" Facebook hasn't been very well received.
I don't use Facebook enough to even care about it though.

4. I can see why

Just looks like everything's been rearranged, without necessarily improving anything...

5. Probably contains viruses...
At least they didn't call it "Facebook: The Next Generation"

9. I like the direction they're taking
but it definitely needs more work.

15. the tabbing
some people really get into the applications, and pages were getting as ugly and crowded as Myspace ones. they'll have to sort what goes under what tab a bit better, and allow some personal preferences, but it'll be a much better interface in the end.

my biggest problems right now are the new home page and the new combined mini-feed/wall. I liked having that information seperate, tyvm.

18. Oh, gotcha

I only have a few of the applications, so i never had that problem. But that makes sense. :)

13. I like the idea of a tabbed format (which is what it appears they're going for here)
but having the feed be the default tab when people access your profile is stupid. It should be the "info" tab, and you should be able to turn the feed off completely if you want to, which I DO. Otherwise, it's an okay redesign, but I won't use it until they force me to because I don't want my feed to be front and center on my profile.
