I agree with all three. I like the "put your content where you want it" thing, 
and I like the refresh time per portlet as well.  And yeah, the location maps 
are cool--but they're not all that, in my opinion.  Maybe it's just because all 
our devices are in one of three or four places on campus; it's not exactly 
useful to me.

Again, I agree with all of these.  All in all I think the new UI looks pretty, 
but it doesn't show me as much information as it used to.

And a third agreement from me...

The line that really sums it all up in my opinion was at the top of tflorman's 
post:

Well said.
