I had a day without updates, followed by a brief update overnight and no more updates since. The only new news I'm getting on that page is in the mini "status updates" bit with your friends' last 3 updates in it.
I notice that the little tick/cross icons next to news items have gone for a burton as well. It's hard to say if they've decided against them permanently or if they've just gone on holiday. The same goes for the FOAF suggestions feature which seemingly vanished on Sunday UK time.

Yeah, I've noticed my newsfeed no longer has the "thumbs up / X" icons in the upper right - a sample screen capture demonstrates this. It's really a shame, since I use that red X to hide people's inane stuff that still manages to show up nearly every time I log in.

What I noticed this morning was the thumbs-up/X buttons were no longer there. When I reported it, Facebook support wrote back saying "Unfortunately, the functionality you are requesting is not currently available. We have removed these options to reduce clutter on the site." Even tho it's still listed in the help: http://www.facebook.com/help.php?page=138
Personally, I liked the voting, and found it useful, particularly in helping me quickly tell which news items were new. And I didn't find it cluttering at all. Ah well.

There is also no X V on every newsfeed item anymore... And they have been playing around with changing the "message" link under the profile picture, they changed it to "Message XXX" and several days ago changed it back to "Send XXX a message".

My newsfeed is working fine, and seems to have no downtime whatsoever.

Mine just broke:( Starting Sat night, the only thing published on my newsfeed is stuff posted on my profile by others (i.e. wall posts, etc).
