This is the third Facebook homepage design in the last 12 months. Some users have been randomly selected and were automatically changed to this new view, we will keep you informed as to when yet a release date is set for this. Nobody knows when the new design will launch yet, i was lucky enough to have a friend that had his facebook changed over to test the new design and i have some screen shots below showing the new changes, hopefully this will help you to see their plans and what they want to add to facebook in the future.

Looks quite similar? But it really isnt, features include: Notifications, requests, and inbox are prominently displayed next to the Facebook logo. Chat remains on the bottom. They have also opted for placing the search box in the middle therefore making more searches, this is in the running to be more like twitter. If you look on the current homepage design, you’ll find the updates of all of your friends, but yours isn’t constantly there, reminding you to update your old, outdated status. There’s a new border around the main content. It separates your left-hand navigation and notifications from your Facebook news feed. And finally i have to show you an extra image of the new quick inbox access, It gives you direct access to your most recent messages without leaving the homepage, which should increase engagement.

So what are your views on the changes, i think they look great and will add extra ease to the use of the social networking site. The only thing i am not looking forward to is the 500 Different groups that will be expressing their hate for the new layout saying “1 Million Members To Get The Old Layout Back”  (If your one of those, its not going to happen so don’t bother), maybe they should remove groups that have been joined from the news feed. Anyway, lets not look at the negative, most sensible people that read a blog post and are interested will support me in saying that this evidently should improve the service overall.
