The Facebook redesign seems to have missed two points:
- Whitespace is good, but adding whitespace around a billion tiny things doesn’t really solve the problem of having a billion tiny things on screen.
- There’s a difference between activity and content. Content is activity, but activity is not content. Showing me the fine details of how my high-school classmates change their Facebook settings isn’t interesting or relevant. It brings me no value.
