Where’s the New Profile?
Posted by Nick O'Neill on July 17th, 2008 12:14 PMOn Tuesday evening Facebook announced that users would begin seeing the new profile within 24 hours. They also gave warning to developers to be prepared. More than 24 hours have passed by and the new profile has still not launched. While Facebook initially suggested that the profile would launch sometime this week, the notification to developers the other night made it seem like a profile update was imminent.
Developers are still waiting to see how their applications are effected by the new opt-in design. Facebook is clearly busy with a number of projects that they hope to launch at next week’s f8 but the profile redesign is clearly one of the most important changes for Facebook developers in months. We are expecting the profile to go live today but as of now there is no word on when the change is finally happening.
Developers simply need to stand by and wait for Facebook to throw the switch!

I've checked out the developer preview and half the options don't work. The Application pulldown listing of all apps only refreshes the screen and same with the Inbox, the plus tab to find more applications doesn't do anything and clicking on any of the applications you do have takes you to the normal site. Some applications show you a note that says there is nothing in the application.
C'mon Facebook, get your act together.

there is 24hrs in a day so maybe have time windows when you can 'opt in' FB could opt for the top 23 countries/ markets then the 24th hour could be all other markets.
this could also be done on surname basis A-W then X,Y Z the last hour.
but if there ever did the annoying fb network 'favoritism' they did with FB Chat i be very annoyed, Harvard University does not deserve it more than the Zimbabwe or any other network!

In fact, I'm kind of mad they opened up FB to high schoolers and the general public. It's gone downhill since then. All sorts of spam and fake profiles. All these sorts of people already had Myspace.
I understand there's money to be made off of these people, but why base your business on all sorts of fickle people that will move on to the next thing first chance they get. It was far more valuable to have the captivation and interest of just the elite college students. Imagine going up to advertisers and saying we've got the next generation of doctors, lawyers and captains of industry checking our website compulsively. Want a piece of that action?
Silly move FB.
