Sauceda, supplied some great photographic evidence at Flickr. As usual, half a dozen people whom I barely know blogged about the event as if they had

Major changes afoot at Facebook.
http://ceezer.org/blog/major-changes-afoot-at-facebook/think they should just pay you to sit there and play in Photoshop all day instead? How would you make the new design better? ED. NOTE: Apparently, TechCrunch writer Erick Schonfeld also wrote about this topic on the same day as I did.
