We have heard rumours of new profile pages and a complete re-design for the past few moths, and just a few days ago they started to allow user to opt-in for the new design. All you have to do is go to www.new.facebook.com, and next time you login you will automatically have the new design.

Facebook has had a good design, but especially on the user profile pages it started to get difficult to manage thing when you have 20 app on your Facebook page. The new theme adds addition functions such as it now contains your mini-feed and the ability to update your status, publish photo’s and write a note. It also allows you to control how a story (say something like a change in your top friends or a new set of photos) by setting if it is shown or how it is shown so large, medium or small.

There are now tabs at the top of your page just above the wall that have links to photo’s, info and boxes. These obviously lead to what they say they are. having boxes as a tab really make it easier to communicate on Facebook and if you want to see all those boxes you can but I don’t really like super wall ,fun wall, extra wall, community wall, ect.. taking forever to load.The chat remains the same at the bottom but it now seems to look out of place as it is a more yellow grey and just does not feel like it fits in.

In all the new update is great and I would recommend you opting in for it as it make Facebook more fun to use, as if it was not fun enough. Check out their blog post at blog.facebook.com
