Thumbs Down on the FaceBook=Twitter ReDesign!

The masses have voted and approx. 94% feel that the redesign broke what wasn't broke, and I tend to agree that with this new layout and design, Facebook is less personal, and feels like it's trying to become the social Twitter it shouldn't become. The charm of Facebook is being lost in an attempt to see a streaming list of shout outs of people you've chosen to be part of your network. Sound familiar anyone?
Now remembering a Facebook of last year, yes the clutter of plugins was rampant, and it felt like a cluttered flee market, but the fact was that the page was a reflection of yourself. It displayed family photos and messages from friends and on a single page, let you know everything you needed to know.
The goal at Facebook with each redesign isn't about you, it's about them increasing page depth per visit. It's about increasing the page views(hits), that drive advertising CPM. It's about making more profits.
If you don't like it. Don't use it. It's the only way they will return to a single page aproach.
