I guess I should start filtering Facebook related posts for a while to avoid all the user revolt that is going to happen.

Although, the facebook platform is being treated like a first class citizen with this new design which is good for developers and "facebook startups." Also, seems like they are gearing up for an agressive play in "real-time search" with the search bar so front and center.

I did the mistake of scrolling down to view the comments to that blog post, and sure enough, every single one of them are asking Facebook to change it back.

It's going to be as it'll always be: Four weeks of bitching and moaning, and after that everyone will have forgotten what it looked like before. You have to laugh about the predictability of it.

This is significant news for one reason - this is the first time in the history of the platform that Games are treated as first class citizens. It would be irresponsible to deny the unique and significant impact games have had. They've been a blessing and a curse, causing some people to rabidly check their farm everyday, and causing others to quit Facebook over the piles of spam.

We will see what happens from here.

Good, the fixed-position bottom bar with obscure icons is gone!
