Yeah, on a more serious note I guess they're advancing all the counter measures to face a "potential" G+ outbreak. Whether that happens or not is something I wouldn't be too sure.
The new layout is kinda "bloated" as far as I can tell so I'll have to remodel some of my automated VA's
On the other hand it seems to me that ppl keep complaining all the time about any subtle little change FB does then they tend to abide... Complaining is part of human nature, if I were you I'd capitalize on this with a clever PPC fan page "Like this if you hate the new layout"...
Maybe you'll end up without a super targeted audience but sure as hell the CPC will be extremely low if you hit the right demographics
