FACEBOOK REDESIGNS ITS LAYOUT

It's haven't been a long time since we have witnessed changes in Facebook, earlier it was Facebook lite(which was beta ofcourse for testing) and then the changed or rather enhancing security features. Just when you log into your Facebook account you must had noticed that it have gone through a major transformation, with much of the feel like that of Facebook lite (which they were testing since a couple of months) although a better feel indeed. And this simplified layout was to mark a milestone of being 6 years in existence. It also claims that the no of users has doubled from 200 million to 400 million on its fifth birthday making it far above all the others social networking sites, and yeah the average time spent on Facebook is also longer than other sites.
It has rolled out the changes in some 80 million users for its initial phase.Which is full of more visible and easy-to-use features.


check this video for new layout.




The new layout certainly emphasis on chatting and search option, seems like apparently Facebook has gone through their statics a lot and found that their user doesn't uses chat feature frequently as compared to other interactive features, so true I personally hated chatting in Facebook. And since they are determine to stay on top so not a surprise for us.
Lots of things like the bookmarks and the applications which were hidden in the taskbar are now more visible on the left menu, left menu is redesigned and things like contents from friends, messages, online friends, friends update and more are available there.
The top menu has also been simplified. The Live feed and News feed earlier updated have been merged into single news feed with the most recent option.
Well one thing that surely is going to create some confusion among the newcomers setting and logout option which only shows up when 'ACCOUNTS' on the top right corner is clicked.

Talking of the giant and the favourite. This simply shows the size of the mammoth, and redefines the term 'huge'.



So what more to expect form Facebook in the recent future, Facebook is planning to improve its internal e-mail service into a full-fledged web mail application. The project is code named 'Project Titan' and would certainly please millions of its users, but this is yet to be introduced.
Lets wait and watch what this mammoth has in their mind.
