Want a sneak peek at the makeover which Facebook will be getting in the near future? Then you’re in luck! (click to enlarge)

It looks like they’re going with a half rounded corner / half square corners style, but only switching what they have now. Most of what’s now rounded will be squared and what’s now cornered will be curvy. It’s a bit odd, if you ask me. Beyond that, I like how they’re moving the status up to the top right on each individual user profile while at the same time shrinking the news feed. I also like the potential of the drop down boxes up top, which could make navigation much smoother than what it is now.

If you want, you can join this official Facebook group dedicated to talking about and getting feedback on the new design.

Check out this post on the official Facebook blog for a disturbing look at the watching habits of a typical Facebook user.

Long story short, whenever Grey’s Anatomy comes on, around 200,000 users log off Facebook only to return as the show ends. That’s freaking crazy. You mean to tell me Grey’s Anatomy has at least 200,000 viewers?! Who the hell watches that crap?! Why the hell aren’t these people watching Scrubs?!

There are some mysteries in this world that will never be solved. Who shot JFK? What happened to Amelia Earhart? Why do people watch shitty TV shows? It baffles the mind to think of such questions!

When it came down to thinking about what to give up for Lent, I thought about giving up chocolate. Or TV. Or even sex. Then I remembered I wasn’t religious, so I invited my girlfriend over to watch The Daily Show while eating Reese Cups before…well, you know. But I’d have an easier time giving up using my right hand for Lent than giving up Facebook, like these kids are.

As one anonymous Facebook faster posted on a support group: “God is not on facebook. We hereby demonstrate that our souls are not enslaved to this vice.”

God may not by on Facebook, but every single one of my friends are and since I don’t even remember how to use AIM or a cell phone at this point, there’s no way I could give up Facebook.
