The New Facebook

Facebook has done it again and once more the users are not only confused but also a little disgruntled about this modification. Facebook has once again changed its entire layout, adding and removing certain features to provide the user with a more interactive social interface.

The new layout was launched on Tuesday night, 20 September 2011, with most alterations involving the ‘news feed’. The main motive behind the change is to provide users with the peace of mind that none of the important updates on their feeds will go by unnoticed. Whether you are a frequent Facebook user or someone who just pops in every other day, you are guaranteed to have the benefit of knowing exactly what’s going on in your friends’ lives.

Facebook Introduces a Real Time Feed, aka the Ticker

At the top right-hand side corner of your Facebook interface you will now be able to see real time feeds showing you what your friends are up to by the second, whether it’s writing something on your wall or commenting on an old photo. Furthermore, you can interact and chat in real time and experience a more comprehensive relationship.

Photo galleries are now also displayed more aesthetically on your profile page. The strategy behind this change is to make the photos more visible and plainly put more alluring to look at.
