I’ve just been playing about with the new Facebook profiles layout, and my overriding opinion is that it’s ugly and badly designed. I get that the idea was to group things into logical areas and get rid of profile clutter, but I find it to be even less intuitive with tabs and filters everywhere, and the merged wall/minifeed thing is a bad plan. I can see a massive backlash from the Facebook community on this one, and for good reason. The only good thing is the new Info tab, which combines your networks, work experience, groups etc. into one logical page. Apart from that - it’s a massive disappointment

To view your profile page in the new layout, you’ll need to install the Developer app then visit www.new.facebook.com. Via CNET News.
