Facebook is on a mission to make things easier for the common user. I've personally seen a diverse age population on Facebook. Not only are business professionals now using it, but so are grandmas to stay in contact. Facebook adapted to this change accordingly.
Their applications are now easier to see and examine. Notifications pop up in the top left hand corner rather than the bottom right. Messaging and requests are located right next to that. There is also no "Home" or "Profile button. All you have to do now is click on the "Facebook" in the top right to go home, and click on your picture to view your profile.
Now I've only had the new Facebook for just about 20 minutes. I logged in and saw the change, and thought there would be a large uproar. So far, people seem pretty positive. i know not a lot of people are receptive to change, but I think this is something that can work for the website well.

I was surprised that the site felt like it needed to update again--and wondered what the industrial logic is behind it. But as long as personal information isn't flooding over the levees, it's hard to get too worked up about it anymore...
