I actually only go to beta.ff.com when I want to post a photo directly to FF. Not that I don't like it, I just don't need the majority of the new features.
- Svetlana Gladkova
simplicity is nice, but i like the group feature, now i can access the user feeds by my own interests... even google has many features but not for everyone :). i think ff should be like apple, not like M$, thats also right :)

I hate the old one and love the new one. The old one is too bare bones, and the new one provides just enough information.
- Stephen Pierzchala
They added some new feats in the new one but designwise the old one still rocks!!

It seems to me that I can't get past the first page in beta. If I click on the second page it always shows me pretty much the same stuff as the first, and the third and the fourth. When I go back to the first, it's all still there so it's not as though it's just moving at the same speed I'm going through it. Just feels very buggy.

I first heard about new design... just about now and I also think that it looks too odd currently, but I hope team gets things to better shape during time. Hey, it's still beta. ;)
- Daniel Schildt
I love the new one except I can't find my feed on it. I always go back to the old one to do that and click on me.
- Robert Scoble
I love the new design. Much better IMO...
- Brad Brooks
I am a fan of the new look. Yes, it resembles Google's look a little too much but it puts better use to the page. I also like the new features.
- geekazine
I love the the new design also. It really helps with organization and it's a lot easier than before to keep track of friends (and favorite peeps) while adding even more subscriptions.
- m.0
Robert, your feeds are right under the rooms in the right column.
- Radek Pilich
well, the only thing i hate is what Scoble said: I have to click on my name to get to my feed, and it's too far on the right. less movement, please!
- Zio Bonino
I want to see only items that I've commented on, though. I can't find that in the new design. Is it there?
- Robert Scoble
You click on your name, top right, then you select Comments + Likes. Or probably I haven't understood.
- Zio Bonino
Robert, it's there. Go to My Feed, Comments + Likes, and then right below that there is a link to show Comments only, Likes only, or both.
- Akiva Moskovitz
disagree... maybe it is a free market conservative thing
- NoahDavidSimon
I agree. New FF design is less effective.
- susan mernit
I preferred the tabs in the old design, especially the "Me" tab like Scoble does too. But I do like the group feature and the ability to post a picture.
- Winston Teo
the beta seems to be having problems this morning. twice i tried to make a comment only to get an error message.
- Ruth Ferguson
I prefer the *features* of the new version. Don't care about the design either way. It's simple, so the only thing to criticise is one's own (un)flexible routine.
- Vincent van Wylick
I much prefer the beta, by the way. Haven't gone back to the classic interface since.
- Akiva Moskovitz
it's not called beta.friendfeed.com for nothing maybe not all but some of what's there well get pulled over maybe .. just have to wait and see
- JohnBfromMemphis
I'm quite liking the new design. It's put certain features in better places. New design less efficient? In what way? I find it very efficient, I can select the rooms I can see on my sidebar. You can now create friend lists (of which I've used to put all my imaginary Flickr friends on and thus can see all their photos in one stream without any of noise). All the features are there just in different places, e.g. the Me tab is accessed by clicking on your username.

Robert, if you want your Comments only, click on your name/username, then Comments + Likes then Comments (only), fairly painless. I still use NoiseRiver for this as it highlights your comments and also replies to your comments, wish FF did that itself though.
