One thing that’s funny to me is how they seem to keep going back and forth on certain issues, like how to show the activity stream. It used to be filtered and then there was a live stream view if you wanted to see that. Then they changed the main feed to be live and are now back to filtering it. Every time they change the layout they radically change the developer API’s as well and we all have to scramble to rewrite our apps.

For profile boxes, I see absolutely no benefit to removing them. By doing so, they’re taking away everyone’s ability to show what they want on their profile.
