Thoughts on Facebook New Profile
I think that Facebook New Profile is better than the old one. The most important thing for developers is that it has wide canvas. Here Facebook is catching up with competitors, since Myspace, Hi5, Bebo and Friendster all of them have wide canvas and chrome menu on the top.
It is cleaner for the users since Facebook has started the process of deprecating profile boxes. Profiles will load faster.
In order to be ahead of competition Facebook is deprecating "install" concept and changes its API.
The only thing I'm not happy about new profile is that Facebook platform development team is not familiar with "backward compatibility" term. They are introducing a lot of breaking changes (full of bugs).
