New Facebook Timeline

Facebook introduced their new Timeline to the news and media on March 7, 2013. We gave a preview of the new Facebook design on our blog last week. According to Facebook, the driving force behind the updated look is to “reduce clutter and focus more on stories from the people you care about”. They are accomplishing this with a more streamlined single column page set up with a focus on visual imaging, since photos are such a driving force behind Facebook. In orderto make sure you’re seeing all the stories you want to see,  they have introduced several new feeds to explore in addition to the same News Feed you have now:

•   All Friends – a feed that shows you everything your friends are sharing
•   Photos – a feed with nothing but photos from your friends and the Pages you like
•   Music – a feed with posts about the music you listen to
•   Following – a feed with the latest news from the Pages you like and the people you follow.

Another feature that will simplify how you use Facebook is that once the new design is completely rolled out, you will see the same interface and same look across all screens: desktop, mobile, and tablets.

Of course, you aren’t seeing any change on your Facebook page as of yet, but you can sign up to get the new design rolled out on your account and see a preview here.

One of the big deals about the new changes is Facebook’s new Graph Search that goes hand in hand with the new Facebook Timeline. They both offer businesses and people new opportunities to connect with others.
