When I first read about it, I thought it sounded like something designed and dreamed up by marketing team with little regard as to whether it would be useful in practice.

That's exactly how it comes across.

For people who live Facebook as if its the sole purpose of the internet this app seams fantastic. Until they realize that the issues they've always rallied against on the website (typically UI stuff) will now be part of their device. Facebook is driven by ads and the research into fitting as many ads into a space as users will accept; how was a mobile app expected to be any different?

Or a UX designer that didn't want to sit down and study the platform's idioms.
