Facebook 'networks'?
Facebook was looking sort of... empty today. It looks like the 'networks' dropdown is missing for me at the top beside the 'friends' dropdown. Anyone else missing this? Strange.

Facebook decided to remove it because not many people click the "Network" link and they want to keep things simple... Kind of a weird reason, IMO.

There's a blog post explaining it located here.

Ah, good find Iman. I agree, you rarely change your network.. so sort of pointless it being it's own button. Good call Facebook. Now just add an instant messenger and you'll officially have 100% of my procrastination time.

They've moved it to your profile...sortof. If you go to your Profile page and click on the network name you can still access the Networks page.

It's really weird that they removed it, they could have at least put it on the side bar or something. I know I use it quite a bit to see what events are coming up.

Ya, it was a good overview for events in the mac network. Even though most of the 'events' were keggers are parties being held by people, it was useful. Maybe they'll make it a left sidebar link.
