Facebook’s Birthday Gift to Themselves: A New Layout?
Many of us know that today is Facebook's 6th birthday. (Happy Birthday!) Is there a new permanent layout? This time unannounced? Perhaps I haven't been paying attention to the newest Facebook news but I certainly wasn't aware there'd be a reasonably drastic change anytime soon. No wonder I couldn't login via Facebook Mobile all day long. Last night Facebook prompted me to download the new Facebook uploading plugin which eventually made my Facebook uploading process a much more enjoyable one actually. While I usually dislike their layout changes, I have to say I'm a bit open-minded about this one. It's crisp and easy to navigate from the few minutes I've spent on it. So far from what I see, it makes the user experience a bit easier and less cluttered. Anyone else seeing it? And if so, what are your thoughts?

Mine has been like this for about a month now, and no one else I know had theirs changed. I’m getting used to it, but then they just changed something else on it last night. It would have been nice to know that they were going to be changing it. No one likes surprises like that! LOL.

@Elias
I think Facebook is rolling it out to different segments of users slowly. If you don’t see it today, I’m sure by end of weekend you will. Or if you are not in the US, could be longer. Not sure what the plan is exactly.
