Facebook just announced updates to Timeline, which they already started to roll out. So far it seems as a major update, and Facebook is moving it’s focus more on Apps, and different kinds on list & collection. It will probably took few week to roll out to all user, but as its imminent so its important to everyone. It will probably change the way we use Facebook, the way we share and keep track of things, like reading elements, watching moving, visiting places to watching tv-shows. Here I will try to point major change we all will see.
As you could see from the screenshot the user’s Timeline (Facebook’s profile page) is changed a lot from present look. Its kind of expected as Facebook already announced and started to roll out new home feed. But we all are wondering how our Timeline going to look in this new image heavy design. Image is surely going to be bigger in this new Timeline.
One of the major change I see is the use of apps, and the focus its getting. Apps like Instagram, SoundCloud, Quora, SlideShare or whatever we use will have bigger exposure. Take a look at screenshots below to understand how Instagram will look in Timeline.
Another major change is the ability to create and manage different type of list. Like if you are a movie buff, watch a lot of movie, you could then make a Movie List. It could have sub-category like Watched, Liked and Want to Watch. You could add movies from related apps like Flixster or Netflix. To better understand take a look at the screenshots below.
And its not only movies. It could be books, TV-Shows, Music, Notes etc. You could even add items manually, like this
Facebook seems updated their Open Graph SDK and guidelines. Now they claims it will be easier for developer to add more action and collection list. Check more guideline here.
