What do you think of Facebook's changes?

All of you must have notice the makeover new design on Facebook lately. So what do you think?

The main changes

Here are the key changes to the Facebook home page users are coming to grips with:

1) Stream

Much like the old News Feed, the Stream tells you about what your friends are doing. It has added real-time updates, celebrity page feeds with comments, and user control over which friend's updates they want to see.

Some users (like me) are not comfortable with seeing all the information streaming in one place.

2) Publisher

Facebook has changed the status update question from "What are you doing right now?" to "What's on your mind?"

This has also become the place to post links, pictures, video, and other types of content.

It's hard to tell when you updated your status without the date and time clearly posted, and also hard to tell the different between status updates and wall post.

3) Highlights

This new column shows long-term information and announcements from subscribed sources.

It includes friend and event updates, birthday notifications, pokes, notes, links with comments, and Facebook announcements. It does not contain advertisements.

4) Filters

There's a new box in the top-left corner that lets users control the flow of information.

Facebook says it has built some default filters such as location, regular contacts, and existing friend lists, so users can click one and excess info should drop off the home page.

However, some users didn't like the new system and some did like the new system. How about you?
