What was once unique, deep, & flexible, and good for keeping-up with friends, is evolving into a rigid and equally shallow Twitter clone, except not as good as Twitter for real-time stream-of-consciousness. Assuming facebookers even wanted that. We're on facebook for a REASON (i.e.--it isn't Twitter). The new facebook is about shallow-ness, being harder to connect with people, and less choice...less choice in your feeds, privacy, etc. The new facebook inundates everyone with trivia, while at the same time robbing heavy users of all depth.

You make a good point that the new design will probably encourage more interaction with updates. I personally like the move because I am a big Twitter user, but I don't know how much the Facebook-only type users will like it, just like the comments you've posted illustrate.
