Ready for some more design tweaks to your Timeline
According to ABC News, where a producer’s Facebook Timeline first revealed the changes Thursday, the new version is a return to tabs. Gone are the thumbnail pictures for “Friends,” “Photos” and “Map” (where you see all the places you’ve checked in or geotagged yourself).
Indeed, the Map is gone altogether from your front page, banished under a tab that says “More.”
There’s a new “About” tab at the top of the page; click on that and you get all the information you’ve given the social network about yourself plus your full list of friends. Keep scrolling and you get to Photos, although the Photos tab will take you there faster.
The “subscriber” count at the top of the profile page now shows the precise number of followers; up to now, if someone had 180,023 subscribers, it would be shortened to “180K.” The word “subscribers” has also been replaced by “followers,” something Facebook already confirmed it was planning to change.
Browsing through Timeline currently, you have to dart back and forth, left and right, to see posts chronologically. In this design, Facebook returns to a single stream of posts on the left, with friend/photo information to the right. The right hand stream eventually ends, leaving the single stream on its own. This would make it much easier to see one’s chronological stream.
“This is a new design Facebook is testing with a small percentage of people to make navigating Timeline even easier.” said Facebook spokesperson about the changes.
