Alright, so Facebook kind of failed to accurately estimate when it would be taking long-talked-about profile redesign. The number last tossed around was July 16. The day came, the day went, and nothing. No changes made. That may have made for an anticlimactic Wednesday for some. So will the second try, scheduled for this evening, according to Justin Smith of Inside Facebook, turn out to be the true charmer?
As you may be aware, Facebook has been teasing users as of late with a test page to give a glimpse of what’s to come. And the network began in Spring to allow developers to familiarize themselves with the new layout. When doors officially open, all of Facebook’s members will be access, albeit through a transitional, opt-in model.
The upgrade to the profile page isn’t a whirlwind transformation. Most users will likely intuit for themselves how to manage their information in no time. But it’s a welcome move all the same. The current design has been in place for quite a while. Lots of things in the social networking space have evolved with the seasons. Facebook would do well to alter itself a bit, too.
