Facebook seems to be trying too hard to be more of an app or an information/sales portal than an online social space.
The left sidebar on the new homepage seems to emphasize navigating site features over socializing by placing the the block with applications, games, ads..etc. above the block with the display of current online friends. Improved navigation (or rather having a strong emphasis on exploring site features) ends up making the site seem more of an online catalog to find information to read or products to purchase than for site members to re-connect and socialize. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
