Facebook launches new profile layout

I switched to the Facebook new layout for profiles today. I sorta liked it but it has been receiving mixed responses from everyone.

Good things is that the user doesn’t need to wait to try it own. No invitations needed, no waiting for availability for your account or nothing. Just head over and grab it.

You will not be able to switch back to the old design after upgrading. They will be rolling it out to everyone eventually, so just grab it and get used to it. You might even find it better. Check out the screenshots if you would like to see it before hand.
