Facebook Begins Redesign Rollout
"What we're seeing is that users across all sorts of sites are spending less time making big single pieces of content. Instead, they are making a lot of little pieces of content, like status updates, writing messages on Twitter, uploading single videos to YouTube. This is the paradigm we want to capture with the publisher, where it's really easy to frequently communicate with these little pieces of information," Mark Slee, the Facebook product manager in charge of the redesign, told IDG Infrastructure Service in May.
In addition to the Wall tab, the Profile page also has Info, which contains basic personal data about life, work and interests; Photos; and Boxes, which contains a user's applications, although users can create tabs for specific applications.
When members are granted access to the new design, they will find it in a staging Web site for now. Eventually in the coming weeks the new design will be the default at Facebook's home page.
