Facebook Gets Facelift, User Suggestions Included
In July, Facebook announced a new, cleaner and simpler design, which it had been developing since early 2008. More than 100,000 Facebook users offered suggestions on the layout and features, many of which were included in the final version. According to the company, the evolution of the site design focuses on integrating powerful feed technology with the Wall, a forum for users and their friends to post comments, photos, videos and more, including content from third-party applications. The Wall now features more current and pertinent information, or "stories," about a user and their friends' on Facebook.
The company stated that the changes were made in order to highlight the most recent and relevant information that users value, give users even more control and ownership over their profiles and simplify the user experience. Now, users also have the ability to adjust the size and prominence of stories, and can choose between having one-line stories, short or full stories. One-line stories are one sentence long, while short stories include thumbnail photos or content, and full stories display large, noticeable images.
