As user interfaces evolve, they tend to reduce the number of clicks and operations someone has to perform to get their data - facebook has now split profiles up into different pages, so not only do you have to navigate to someones page, you now have to navigate WITHIN that profile page.

I've been hearing disgruntled whining from friends, so I didn't know what to expect. I was initially annoyed with the 'tabs' and 'boxes', but this Sunday I killed a couple of hours exploring its advantages: 1. Communication is key----if my friends so choose, i can know a lot more about their actions and be able to 'comment' on them (events, status) 2. Tags---imho, the 'original one-page' layout was not generating enough advertising revenue. with each tab in the 'new facebook', users spend more time clicking and get new advertiser listing per page. Ultimately, facebook is a business and if they want to grow, they needed to accomodate for ad space. A lot of users are annoyed, but it's going to be telling whether they decide to support the changes or move on.

It has been off and on a couple of weeks and the new one that shows today was different than the previous. We don't have any concrete detail on what will be released, but will update this post if we get more details or should something change. I think they are testing new layouts.
