Facebook has revamped its interface yet again. Initial observations are as follows:
1. The site's news feed now follows a three column-layout. The far right column features 'highlights' - such as what groups your friends have joined, who or what they've become fans of, who was tagged, and so on. These no longer appear jumbled up in the news feed - instead, the middle column consists soley of status updates! The left column is a list of main apps like photos, videos, events, public profiles and so on.
2. Profile thumbnails are no longer square, they have rounded edges. Is this meant to make you feel all warm and fuzzy?
3. Twitter (I have the Twitter app installed) has automatically appeared in my sidebar - clearly, Facebook is feeling the threat.
4. Status updates ask you: What's on your mind? (See point 3)
5. Public Profile updates, like Barack Obama's, now appear in your news feed. You can choose to 'hide' these.
6. Default text is much larger but chat text is still very small.
