Facebook is making the transition with the new Timeline design which is being rolled out to to people now. It actually reminds me of how it looked a few years ago. It is sleeker with two columns with your friends on the left and your status updates on the right. There is an easy navigation bar on the top under your cover image. As always, this is a good time to check your setting, particularly your security settings and update!
