Lucky for all of us, the new U.I. is coming to the web version of Facebook starting today.

Facebook reps also said this morning that the new look and feel would be appearing on smartphones and tablets over the next couple weeks.

Once you click that link, you’ll get a brief walkthrough of the new features, including our favorite, swapping between different News Feeds for friends, music, photos, and so on.

You can also get more info about the news design or leave Facebook feedback from the drop-down menu on the top left corner. Or you can choose to switch back to the old News Feed from the same menu.
