Posted by josh in Celebrating it’s 6th anniversary, Facebook has rolled out a new layout for the home page. The prominent changes are:
Notifications: All the latest notifications, requests and messages will be accessible from a new button available beside the search bar on the profile home page.
Left menu: The left menu have been organized to make it easier to communicate and discover content from friends, access messages and other features.
Games Dashboard: Games dashboard have been added to make it easier for gamers to find and interact with applications and discover new ones. The dashboard will show the applications that have been used recently as well as your most recent application activity and your friends’ activity. Gamers will also start to see counters next to the bookmarked applications, which will notify when a specific action is to be taken, so that users don’t miss out on their turn in a game or an update from a friend in an application.
If you don’t find anything new on your homepage, do not freak out. The changes are being rolled out to a small number of users initially, and will be deployed more widely and you will be able to see the changes pretty soon.
Despite all the changes, notifications and live feeds about games and applications, if you would rather not have your recent application activity visible in the dashboards to your friends, you can change this through your Privacy settings.
We’ll bring you more updates on these revamped and new updates as we get more information on it. Do let us know about your experience using these new updates.
