Facebook last year announced that it was redesigning the profiles of members.Facebook today announced that they have beenworking for the past few months on recreating the Profile and provided previews of the redesigned profile page which includes, among other things, a multi-tabbed profile interface — with sections like “Wall,” “About,” and “Photos” now in tabs. The change will be gradually rolled out to users over the next few weeks, and a official Page has been setup that users can be a part of and use to get periodical updates about the change.
The new profile will look like as below....
In new facebook you would not be able to see a member's entire profile on the screen. Personal information about someone will be included on one "tab" of a profile, whereas the "wall"--public messages, developer-created applications, News Feed updates, and other activity-related information--will be on a separate tab. A third tab will link to the photos that the member has uploaded. Facebook has also said that members will be able to create separate tabs for their favorite applications.
Part of this is because of technical issues,Facebook has said, telling members that the changes will make the interface cleaner. "As more and more information is available on Facebook--more photo albums, more applications, and more history--we've realized that Profiles have become cluttered and slow as a result," a release from the site read. "We're trying to make profiles more simple and relevant, while still giving you control over your profile and how you express yourself."
This is a big change to the Facebook experience, and even though the site has said the updates were based on user feedback,there's no way to ensure that this won't result in mass complaints. Some Facebook members, as a theoretical example, have been loath to fill out the personal information fields and might complain that giving the "about me" section its own tab highlights them too much.For interested users, Facebook has created a "fan page" for "Facebook Profiles Previews," and is encouraging sign-ups.
