I had a look at the "new" Facebook this morning and found that the real chronological "news" is in a little scolling window on the right of the screen. The big stuff in the middle is out of order, and much of it was too old to be usable.
But that little scrolling window on the right -- if you hover over an item with its two-line description, you get a nice pop-up with the full information! Even nicer than the old "news feed" that you got if you selected "Recent Posts" rather than taking the dumb default selection. The new scrolling box with the pop ups gives all the details.
The problem is that when Facebook moves something to the right, it seems to sooner or later disappear. Like the "Recent News" in the middle, now at the right. Soon it will be gone.
It took me one click to sign up for Google+ (I have a gmail address that I don't use). I couldn't find anyone I know there, but when they arrive, they can find me. When critical mass is reached, goodbye Facebook.
