The new facebook profile – a welcome change

Facebook has just introduced the new profile in a much more sexy avatar while making  it much more simple to browse. Let’s take a look at what this new profile has on offer:

• 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. 
• Featured Friends – You can now highlight the friends who are important to you, such as your family, best friends or teammates. Create new groups of friends, or feature existing friends lists.
• 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.
• 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.
