Facebook makes layout changes

The changes are being rolled out to a small number of users initially, before being deployed more widely in the coming months. The changes mean that users will be able to send messages to friends in their social network directly from the Facebook homepage, rather than having to open a separate window, and there is more emphasis on search, with a larger search box appearing on the page.
Facebook has also streamlined the Live Feed and News Feed sections, which enabled users to see what their friends were doing at the moment. Both have been integrated into a single News Feed, with a “Most Recent” tab for live updates, and other highlights filed under the “Top News” tab. Some navigation buttons have also moved from the top and bottom of the homepage to a pallette on the left-hand side of the screen, and videos uploaded to the social-networking site now appear under the Photos section.

“We’re releasing a set of products designed to improve your everyday experience,” said Facebook engineer Jing Chen in a blog post. “In keeping with our commitment to innovation, these product releases are part of Facebook’s ongoing efforts to streamline the site and make it easier to use.
“For example, when you receive a Facebook notification about someone writing on your Wall or tagging you in a photo, you’ll see a red bubble appear in the left-hand corner, near the search bar. When you click on the icon, you’ll see a drop-down menu with the most recent notifications.”
Facebook, which now has more than 400 million users worldwide, is celebrating its sixth birthday. Founder Mark Zuckerberg said the site had helped make the world “more open and connected”.
“Facebook began six years ago today as a product that my roommates and I built to help people around us connect easily, share information and understand one another better. We hoped Facebook would improve people’s lives in important ways. So it’s rewarding to see that as Facebook has grown, people around the world are using the service to share information about events big and small and to stay connected to everyone they care about.
“Whether in times of tragedy or joy, people want to share and help one another. This human need is what inspires us to continue to innovate and build things that allow people to connect easily and share their lives with one another.
“Thanks again for making Facebook a part of your life. Happy sixth birthday to Facebook and our whole community. We look forward to building more things and continuing to serve you for many more years to come.”

The new look for Facebook includes changes to the way photos are displayed.
