Facebook is rolling out changes to the site, starting with a redesign of the feed page, which, IMO, sucks. A cluttered page is more cluttered, with a right sidebar ticker that scrolls status updates ala Twitter, and a top news and recent updates that splits the middle section into a top and bottom arrangement, giving folks more places to check for updates. They've also added Smart Lists intended, I guess, to replace one's own lists, of friends. Smart Lists basically decide who should be in them: Friends, Family, etc. based on the same fuzzy FB logic that decides what should be a Top News item. Everyone I know on FB prefers to just see a straight list of everything from everybody and if we want to hide an app or person, we can.
Google+ is now open to the public. The timing is noteworthy. Will people make the switch? Dan Lyons on the Daily Beast has some thoughts on that.
If I could only get all my friends onto G+ and the games I love to play, I'd give up FB in a hearbeat.
