The new facebook has stepped into the past.

The old facebook design was the wheel. Why try and reinvent it. Because unfortunately our society tells us that everything will oneday be obsolete, and hence can be improved upon. This has obviously not been the case with the new facebook. Thank god (through some miracle) the same stylistcally inept people who approved the new design had some common sense not to put it online one morning with out warning, instead opting for a secondary url for where ones account could be accessed. Had they not surely it would have provided the largest ever case study as to how design directly influenced the complete inhilation of one of the webs greatest success stories (surely much to the delight of the fading myspace fanclub).
