Facebook to begin rolling out new profile page

General

The genesis of Facebook continues. Yesterday, via a blog post, the social networking site announced that it would be rolling out a new, more intuitive profile page for its users. The new landing page, which houses all of your personal details, offers a new introduction, featured friends, an improved way to share favorite music, movies, books, and television shows, and better photos and friend pages. The goal of the new layout is to enable viewers of your profile to learn more about who you are and who you’re friends with in less time. For example: where you work, live, and attend(ed) school, whom you are in a relationship with, and when you were born are now prominently displayed on your profile page.

The new feature will be rolling out to all users through the end of this year, but if you are anxious to try out the new goodies, you can head to www.facebook.com/about/profile and manually enable the new style. If you take the plunge, let us know what you think.

    Isn’t that kinda how it was 3 years ago? You know, before the new&improved layout from a few years back that was supposed to remove clutter and separate the info for better user experience? Hmmm….

    “The genesis of Facebook continues.”

    What does that mean?

    • Anonymous

      The evolution, maybe? Genesis… apparently does not mean what Andrew thought it did.

  • Karan

    Whatever happened to the rollout of the changes to photos? I haven’t seen any changes there

    The whole point of a service like facebook is NOT to give out more personal information, it’s to keep in touch with friends who aren’t “friend” enough to be in your personal life. It’s to keep in touch with those people who you may casually know, have known. Facebook… we don’t want MORE information out their, we want less.

    • Dutch

      haha, no Facebook wants to know more information from you, so that advertisers can target you better.

    I just updated, and I like what I see so far.

    Unfortunately, the updates I want to see are in the albums; please let me see all comments in an album again.

    why would I want everyone to know everything about me?

  • Alabukm

    Thinking about closing my facebook page now. I do NOT like it.

  • Kim

    Um… hate to point out the obvious but… if you are already friends with your friends on facebook, why would you need to learn more about who you are friends with? I never look on profile pages, like ever. And most ‘new’ people I add have their privacy set to high and you can’t see anything much before you add them anyway.
    I think the new pages are boring boring boring.
