Facebook redesigns Timeline to clean up the mess

11 years ago | Posted in: Technology | 580 Views

Facebook said today that members soon will see a new, cleaned-up version of Timeline. The redesign comes nearly a year and a half after the social network first debuted Timeline, a radical take on the member profile page as a vehicle for storytelling.

The new Facebook Timeline, which begins rolling out to members today, dumps the two-column posting format for a single column of posts and life events.

“We heard from you that the current timeline layout is sometimes hard to read. Starting today, all posts are on the right side of your timeline, with photos, music and other recent activity on the left,” Rose Yao, product lead for Facebook Open Graph, wrote in a blog post.

As Yao indicates, music, recent activity, and photos have been pushed to their own sections on the left-hand side of the page. This app-centric sidebar ties in with a new About tab and aims to make it easier for members to share their favorite interests through apps.

People can organize their interests, such as movies, TV shows, books, music, and fitness, on their About page. In each category, a person’s activities and likes are displayed and tied to various apps — including Netflix, Spotify, and Endomondo — as selected by the member.
