Facebook Timeline Change: An Update Coming? Facebook Considering Timeline Change among Others

Facebook Timeline Change: On Wednesday, Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) executives sat down with one of ABC News’ producers to take a closer look at what the Timeline feature may entail in the near future.

According to a recent article published on ABC News online, the social networking star is experimenting with a fresh new layout for user pages.

A Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) spokesperson told ABC News the following:

This is a new design Facebook is testing with a small percentage of people to make navigating timeline even easier.

As you can see, this change is not going to effect everybody – just yet, at least. At this time, Facebook is simply testing its many options with hopes of eventually deciding what will work best down the line.

Here is a detailed overview of the changes, as reported by ABC News:

Tabs are back with this new look, doing away with front-and-center thumbnails for “friends” and “photos,” a move that may further bury some marketing efforts for brands that rely on apps. The result is a cleaner, bolder menu for navigation. In this design, your name is lifted into the cover photo as well. Having text over the photo evokes Twitter’s header images, implemented over the last month, which use the art space in a similar informational capacity. The text is white with a barely visible shadow behind it.

In the new design, users looking for “about” information on a profile page will not have to click to a new page with a new address. They can stay on the profile page they are browsing. Scroll down past the “about” information and a “friends” list will pop up. Keep scrolling and “photos” become available as well.

The “subscriber” count at the top of the profile page now shows the precise number of followers; up to now, if someone had 180,023 subscribers, it would be shortened to “180K.” The word “subscribers” has also been replaced by “followers,” something Facebook already confirmed it was planning to change.

Nobody at Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) has discussed when any of these changes, among others, could take place. But one thing is for sure: when a change is made, regardless of what it may be, you will recognize it. At that time, we will be here to bring you breaking updates.
