Before
After
The new version of Facebook is now avialable via www.new.facebook.com. My first impression: they’ve gone minimalist. It feels and is less cluttered. Applications are now available via a drop down menu, your general info items are down the right hand side with no left hand sidebar. Interaction with your own profile and other profiles is via tabs, which open on a persons wall as default.
Third party app providers are going to be furious, as apps are now hidden under a tab labeled boxes, the last of four on any profile, although it would appear as though some apps are visible via the sidebar on each profile.
Share you thoughts below, I’m still walking around it.

Hmm… tried http://www.new.facebook.com and it just redirected me to http://www.facebook.com
Maybe they turned it off now?

Hopefully this will reduce the stupid apps and it would encourage developers to make REAL apps that are useful.

I have just published my thoughts in a post at http://www.profy.com/2008/07/21/facebook-redesi… and it really looks like I find the learning curve to be pretty difficult. It is cleaner but I see the problem in it being too different.

Yip, while I think we're all waving through it, it's much more cleaner and intuitive. So far, a thumbs up.
