Facebook has recently revamped the layout of its user profiles, introducing a ‘tabbed’ interface to navigate through your own or your friends profiles:<\/p>\n

\"facebook\"<\/p>\n

The advantage of a tabbed interface is that you’ll gain more screen real estate and your content should be categorized more efficiently.<\/p>\n

Although having used the original single page layout, I prefer the old format:<\/p>\n

\"facebook\"<\/p>\n

Which gave a friendly, personal feel, compared to the more ‘corporate’ feel of new interface.<\/p>\n

At the moment, Facebook has an option for users to switch to the older format, which is a better fit for its traditional college\/university demographic.<\/p>\n

If the new ‘corporate’ look is intended to give Facebook a leg up in competing with more B2B-focused networks like LinkedIn, it needs to still remain in touch with it’s core audience and provide the option of the old one-page format.<\/p>\n

Would it have been better to create a parallel “Facebook Business” network and launch the new profile there?<\/p>\n

I’m not sure, but I don’t appreciate how the new format has cut up my old profile with the applications laid out the way I want them.<\/p>\n

For the moment, the new facebook is not hot in my books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
