Facebook - New Layout

Guys

These few days Facebook has been having some trouble with API latency issues. Today they changed their user interface. What next?



On the top left hand corner are the new icons : Notification, Message and Friend Request.

 

On the home page, you see the 3 new stuff they added.

  

This is the old layout.

 

I suppose the new layout is to inspire people to interact more (eg: do more friend requests, messages and what-nots)... and make it abit of a hassle to log-out (since they don't want you to log out even?)

At least they still have the profile button, making it less of a hassle for me to update my profile picture. They have learnt from Twitter i think. Will Twitter also be changing their layout soon?
