Facebook Profiles Get A New Look

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the all new Facebook profile on his 60 Minutes interview with Lesley Stahl. Although the company blog had carried the announcement on Sunday afternoon, the profile redesign with profile pages as the primary focus was the topic of discussion on the show too. Users are sure to stop and take notice of these changes as they will find a strip of photos and an overview of their basic information right on top of their profile page. All your interests and experiences will now be represented with the help of images, so it makes your profile more visually appealing.

Facebook users were prompted to switch to the new layout if they want with a prominent button which was found on top of the profile page and details of friends who had made the switch were available on the news feed too. The Facebook blog states that “now it’s even easier for you to tell your story and learn about your friends”. Apart from the great features it has to offer, you cannot help but notice the increased space for advertising on the right side of the page.

What The Revamped Profile Pages Offers

From highlighting friends or creating new groups for your friends and family, the revamped profile page allows you to share your interests and activities using newer ways. You can choose to list all your projects, favorite musicians and likes and find it represented with images so your profile page looks more compelling.

The infinite scroll feature is a great way to browse through photos. Your friends can view the collection of recently tagged photos easily to find out what you have been upto lately. And you will find the “friends” page much better to find your people by name, location or school.

Wondering if you can go back to the older version of your profile after you have tried the new version? You can’t. But then, why would you want to?
