Just so I can put my few cents worth in here:
. Though the new facebook may be trying, there are certain little features that
jaws users - it is this market that I target in particular being a user myself
- have ignored, though being slightly more arduous than others. Firstly, the
news feed from what I can see has little graphics dotting a lot of the little
articles which you could navigate with G and Shift=G - although I think that
whinging about little things of pressing the arrow keys is quite immaterial.
. If you are finding the lack of headings a problem, establish a permanant
placemarkers set for specific points in the page to which you can jump between.
. If such avenues become too difficult you can - as previously mentioned - use
things like M.facebook.com which without the nice fancy things the established
facebook has allow with simple rendering your ease of use.
I'm not sitting here and advocating that the new facebook is bad or good or the
lack of vision of users I'm simply stating some methods that you might use to
get around a tricky situation. However, the amount of users who dislike the new
facebook hasn't been entirely unnoticed because at least 1,500,000 has
attracted the media's attention here in Australia.

i guess that's a valid point, but come on. How hard would it have been for
them to put in some heading navigation? Having to scroll through all that
excess garbage really detracts from my enjoyment of the site.

At the risk of starting a blindy uprising, I'd venture to guess that the
reason why nothing has shown up in blindy lists in the online universe, is
because other than the headings being taken out, (which is probably the only
valid gripe that people disliking the new fb have,) it really comes down to
something as simple as folks not liking a change and being ripped out of their
comfort zone.
They're not gonna change it back guys, so get over it.
Yes... The profile page is kinda nasty in spots, and removing
applications is sort of a pain in the almighty asshole, but it's still totally
doable.
Personally I like what they did with the news feed by making it in a
chronological order, and they needed to have it so you could comment on
statuses... That one was a long time in coming.
If you really feel the needfor something easier and faster, you can check
out m.facebook.com in Firefox, but (at least I can't anyway) access the
applications that way.

There are several I'm sure, but those who took the time probably
complained with the hundreds who have already done so.
Thing is, I'm not for playing the blind card usually, but if I could
talk/write to someone withpower, explaining why the old facebook was nice,
rather than just saying how bad the new one is, I may hopefully make an
impression.
Like you, I must confess that I am surprised that one of the hard core
advocates, who would normally start a petition about practically anything
hasn't clamped on to this and ran screaming quite loudly.

god, i was waiting for someone to ask that question. ive been
constantly googling, expecting an onslaught of messages on blindy listservs
expressing that same sentiment, and have come up empty. i hate not being able
to press h to jump from news item to news item and to have to wade through all
this crap to find anything remotely interesting. glad to hear someone is as
pissed off as I am.

So, I'm going to ask the same question that many have asked around
the net; anyone manage to get the old facebook back?
I've yet too, and I've spent more time on trying to get said version
back than editing church things PDAudio stuff, and things I actually get paid
to do.
Oh well.
