Hi friends, this post is specially meant for all you facebook addicts. I know most of you are more than regular on facebook and here is a news on which you may tend to revolt. Yes, you guessed it right, this is about new features and changes in facebook.
I am sure all of you must have noticed by now some of such changes done in facebook recently, most significantly :
- The new real-time "Ticker" at the top right of your Facebook profile.
- The "Top Stories" that now appear at the top of your Facebook news feed
and lot others...
Facebook users globally reacted negatively to these changes just like most of my friends posted on their wall and even on some of the blogs. If you are one of these users, who is disappointed with these miniscule changes in facebook interface, then here is a shocking news for you as facebook is about to transform its interface into a complete new design which will look similar to the snap here.
These changes are to be done within a weeks and the most surprising fact is that even 10% of the users of the most popular social networking site are not aware of this. Like most of my friends, i am sure you will also agree with the fact that all the new features launched by facebook are not useful and you would have disliked it. In this case, this may come out to be a freaking news for you.
So, what exactly are these big changes we are talking about?
Facebook will change your entire profile page ,which should be optional for first few months most probably, so that you can get back to restore your profile to earlier design if you don't like the new one. Your Facebook profile will go from having one central column to two, with boxes of text, photos, videos and even maps of your favorite locations. Rather than just displaying your most recent activities, your profile will become a scrapbook documenting your entire life, all the way back to your birth. Facebook will become a record of your existence: All your memories, your victories and your defeats, your loves, your losses and everything in between. This is exactly what Facebook Timeline Profile is meant for. You'll add a big, new "Cover photo" to your page and waste a few hours preening your Timeline, choosing to feature your happiest memories, hide the inconsequential ones, and lingering awhile on the most bittersweet of moments. It will in turn put all your highs and lows on the profile and with time you will notice that your facebook says more than what you know of yourself.
So yes, you will be shocked and most probably you will even hate the new Facebook profile when it will be launched in the coming weeks. But as facebook developers claim, with time you may realize that Facebook has unleashed something so remarkable that you didn't even recognize it at first: A meaningful social network. And like any other groundbreaking technology, the PC, the smartphone, the iPad, you'll wonder why life wasn't always this way, and how you got by without it.
