I actually like it. I hate having to scroll down a long profile page, whether my own or someone else's, so I think the new design, with its tabs, will make it a lot easier to navigate.

When they announced it yesterday on the Facebook Profiles Preview Page, I was a little shocked. It took me a second to realise what they were doing, but once I wrapped my head around it I really got to liking it. I think pages can interact well with this new design if they format them well, and everything will be framed nicely with this new header and the chat bar.

I wonder if it will be floating like the chat bar?

Looks really interesting. I want to see some other pages with the new skin. Where did you get these shots? Anything public yet?

The easy design is nice. But for your comment about placing ads on the right a mistake....I agree that you're right that people look to the upper left of a page first. But studies show...though I can refer to them right now...that ads on the right of the page, near the scroll bar, get a higher click-through. Supposedly because those ads are closer to the scroll bar and require less mouse travel.

I don't think I like it. It's a little too bare. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but I don't consider this to be a major improvement.
