Facebook Turns 6, Hits 400 Million Users

Six years ago yesterday, Facebook was started at Harvard University by Mark Zuckerberg and a few of his college mates. It was then available to other universities and eventually anyone with internet access could get a Facebook account. 400 million people, in fact, are using Facebook. They’re also celebrating their birthday by rolling out a new redesign of the homepage, which, if you’re like me, probably won’t go over too well, seeing how the last redesign pissed a lot of users off.
Happy Birthday Facebook! You’re now one of the most popular time-killers on the internet.

I saw the new design on a friends account and hated it. Fortunately, I guess my account hasn’t been changed for some reason. Seems like the designers would see the stupid yet numerous groups that have millions of members whining about their updated homepages…
Anyone know why I still have the old version? Has anyone else not been switched over yet?

@Jake – It seems that the changes are gradually switching over to more and more users, but not sure when it the redesign will show for everyone.
Design has just changed for me and I absolutely HATE IT
