After forcing its users to switch to
Timeline, Facebook is now working on a new design layout of the profile.
Facebook has confirmed it is testing the new design, which is likely to
have more information and links into the cover photo that appears on
top of profile page.
According to reports, the new Timeline
will have user name, home location, occupation, education and other
basic information over the cover photo, with white fonts. Facebook is
also going to add a “Summary” tab, which will have a list of user's
remarkable “Life Events”. Other changes Facebook is considering to
incorporate is replacing the current “Likes” with “Favourites” and
putting “Friends”, “Photos”, “Map” and the new “Favourites” into a
smaller strip below the cover picture.
Facebook had introduced Timeline feature
last year, replacing site's then profile page. Timeline profile is
more like a list of the recent updates in a chronological manner. The
profile displays photos, videos, status updates and locations shared by
user. The new Facebook profile is split into two main columns, with a
line in the middle, representing the passage of time. Facebook started rolling out Timeline to all users in January this year.
