The New Facebook Profile Layout and Settings

INTRODUCTION:

The profile begins with a quick overview of basic information such as where you’re from, where you went to school, and where you work—the kinds of conversation starters you share with people you’ve just met or exchange with old friends as you get reacquainted.

And since there’s often no better way to learn about a person than through photos, the profile now includes a row of recently tagged photos of you. In my case, my profile features pics from my engagement and wedding, two of my life’s most recent and happiest moments.

HOW TO GET NEW FACEBOOK PROFILE:

If you’d like to upgrade your account so that you can play with the new layout right now, we’ve got you covered. Follow these short step-by-step instructions to upgrade your current profile to the new profile and be the envy of your friends, family, and associates:

1. Log into Facebook using your credentials.

2. Once logged in, look to the upper-right portion of the screen where you’ll see a green button that’s labeled “Get the New Profile.” Click it. Note: Next to it is a button that lets you share the upgrade link with others in your circle.

And that’s that. The upgrade is simple and easy. The most important step is that you must log in via the alternate profile link noted above. If you log in using the standard Facebook URL, you’ll land on the previous layout. Until Facebook officially pushes out your new profile page, you should bookmark the above link to stay one click away from the fresh design. Update: Once you log in via the standard Facebook URL, you can get to the new layout by clicking your name

THE LOOK:

THE TOP

As always your name at the top. You can see details of your work,studies and your living area with addition of languages you speak and date of birthand recently uploaded photos.

THE LEFT SIDEBAR

Left sidebar includes your profile picture and information about your facebook pages and new look for showing friends list.

THE BOTTOM The bottom includes your recently uploaded photos or photos you have been tagged in and below are the status updates,bio updates and wall posts by friends.

New Experiences

The profile also gives you new ways to share your interests and activities. You can list the projects you worked on at your job, classes you took in school, your favorite musicians and sports teams, and more. You can also share your life philosophy by connecting to the religions, political affiliations, and people you follow and admire. All your interests and experiences are now represented with images, making your entire profile a more compelling visual experience.

Personally, I opted to add this profile project to my work history at Facebook, and I tagged the people who worked on it with me. I also added “Ultimate Frisbee” as one of the sports I play and included a description of my team’s victories at the USA Ultimate National Championships and World Championships.

INTERESTS

Fortunately, you don’t have to tell the world you’re an avid fan of cheesy rock band The Darkness as soon as they hit your profile page — you get to manually sort which interests will appear as images, and which are hidden (though still accessible) under the ‘more’ tab.

Other changes to the Info tab include the addition of new categories that you can add interests to, including Philosophy and Sports. And you now better describe your workplace activities by adding Projects — you can also tag other friends who you’ve either worked with or done an activity with, the same way you would with photo tags.

Improved Photos and Friends Pages

Thanks to the cool new “infinite scroll” feature, it’s now much faster and more fun to browse all your photos. The Friends page now allows you to quickly find the people you’re looking for: just search by name, hometown, school or a number of other dimensions. I met a ton of new Ultimate players at Nationals, and the new profile has made it so much easier to locate and learn about them.

Well we all know that change in life is good and i love facebook change.
