Facebook's facelift could iron out its quirks

The BBC reports that Facebook is unveiling a new de-cluttered look. Profile pages will be split into five pages to help syphon off some of the functions, games and quizzes away from the main page. Some say the redesign is like fixing something that ain't broke -- and it could be killing off the personality of a social networking phenomenon that has attracted millions of users.  I have to say I agree: isn't it at odds with the original concept to try to create a polished, commercial look? I've never been one for throwing sheep or killing zombies, but I think some of the fun of Facebook is how chaotic some of the profile pages have become.
