I see the "geniuses" who run Facebook changed the way pictures display when you click on them in your news stream. I guess they were worried that their upcoming IPO would be too successful. Not to be outdone in the "crappy interface category", Twitter changed their layout as well. My news stream is now in the right hand column, where I don't expect it to be. I guess this is their way of getting more people to actually look at the "who to follow" box. If only the "who to follow" box had suggestions in it that were worth following.

Unfortunately, I know all too well that the Democrats don't have their act together well enough to organize such a plot.
