The "News Items" rarely show me anything new throughout a particular day and the live feed certainly isn't if I see an entry from 30 minutes ago, an hour ago, then yesterday and it's 4:00 in the afternoon.

But this one doesn't even WORK. I, and those of my FB friends whose pages have changed, find that the most recent postings may or may not appear under "Most Recent" news, depending on when you visit FB. Refresh the page, and you may find the "most recent" news is now actually news from yesterday. Refresh again, and you get the page you saw earlier in the day. Next time, they should do comprehensive testing before launching.

Although I don't use the web interface as much any more now that I have a Blackberry, I think the new layout is better. I do understand your point about making the changes more suttle and the need for a little more warning. I just happened upon it as a tweet from Computerworld. I did warn my friends, but I'm not sure how many saw it. It seems like Facebook is trying to make things better which is good. However I'm not sure where they are getting their input from; I know that I wasn't asked. I agree wíth you Todd and I also agree with Randall about the new layout.

However once you find everything you will notice how clean and clutter free it is. However some people may not like the fact you will have to go back to the home page to switch games. I do like it much better but, I am just sick of them changing every couple months geek or not it is getting a bit much. I agree with you.
