Looks great in your post, and I'd love to access it too. Checked my settings and there doesn't appear to be a place to turn that on or off. Any thoughts? Improvement opportunities: 1) Add a count to friends lists, I'd like to know how many friends I have in each of my lists! 2) Use alphabetical order on all friend and people lists - its not consistent between friend lists, event lists, group lists, fan page lists, etc.! 3) This is an app upgrade - fix the birthday calendar listing/email functionality!! I have a workaround, however it is a workaround. It used to be much simpler and reliable with a weekly email landing with who's celebrating that week. Sorry if this became a rant!

It's enough to keep up with that status updates, do I really really want to know on a constant basis all of the other actions my friends are doing? At least we use to have the option of leaving it or changing the Status Updates to our Home page, now we're stuck with the extra click. It's really causing me to lose a bit of interest.

I did hear after the new page was delivered there was a spike in Status Update complaining about the new format. Thanks for the post though, it causes me to pick up ideas on how to use it best that I can share with others. Funny, I don't think I heard from anybody that FB was broken.

If you've scrolled down you don't see it! That's a serious usability problem in my opinion since you have to scroll to read the wall.

Because that feed happens in real time it may be hit and miss with interaction. Your Fan Page posts should be aggregated in the "Most Recent" section of the News Feed.

I've found that I have way too many lists to set one as a default...that's just me. BTW- You could go the hacker route, and just select the list you prefer in the News Feed, and then set it as a bookmark in your browser. That is a bummer.

I had the list of my "special friends" set as my default newsfeed. The ability to set a particular Friend List as the default news feed seems to have been removed. :-( That additional click to get to my Friend Lists is pretty much a dealkiller for me.

The only thing the dashbord seems to give are the names of the applications that you or your friends are using. This is a turnoff for me as it means the main news feed is gonna get clogged up and it will be hard to see the news that you want to see, kinda hard to separate groups of friends as well. I would stick with the old layout if i could to be honest, more organized. Actually Alaa is right, the new facebook does not have customizable feeds, or application specific feeds.

FB's creation of the apps & games dashboards act as the replacement for what your referring to. But I don't see this as a huge setback. For me, the experience of viewing my network's interactions with apps is more holistic because I can view specifics over time as well as most recently. In addition, the aggregate view of other applications my network is using is very helpful for uncovering apps you might not already know about.
