I’m looking forward to it. One thing I hate about Facebook is I have to see ALL of my friends or none of them. I couldn’t get list-specific RSS feeds so I eventually turned off the RSS feed. With the new version it seems friend lists play a big part, and you can quickly filter it. The auto-updating is also really nice – that’s one feature I like in Fluther too.
But of course, change is scary for some people, especially those who don’t use it a lot. And it’s impossible (or really inefficient, which is impossible in today’s economy) to maintain two totally different designs to appease people who don’t want to evolve. Being on the cutting edge sometimes cuts you back!
