I refreshed the page, loaded the new design, and felt like the information density instantly dropped in half. I'm not sure if they think I'm going blind or forgetting how to read.
Text went away. Pictures and icons appeared.
The thumbnail pictures of the people in my chat list got bigger, their names stayed the same size, and all indication of their online/offline/idle status completely vanished. And half the people I talk to regularly disappeared from the chat list. A lot of my friends were perma-invisible, and not it won't let me see them. Great.
I feel like they want me to scroll through the news feed like I'm reading a glossy magazine full of pictures, but I don't want that -- I want text.
I had hoped that changing to the one-column layout would make things better, but all the posts feel like they have a width of less than 80 characters.
