Facebook's New Look: Timeline

Facebook is releasing a new profile called "Timeline," and we have the sneak preview!

I didn't plan on making a blog post, but I'm sitting here checking out the new Facebook profile, and I have to admit, I'm really liking it! Just as I was complaining a few days ago about the changes with settings on our Home feeds that killed chronological order (since returned :-), I have to marvel at the superb job on the navigation and ease of use, as well as the totally cool features and apps available for them. Plus, I think it just looks frikkin' sweet.

I still need to experiment more with the privacy settings, and one or two other elements, but otherwise, I'm impressed. It will take a little while for the average user to figure it all out, and seasoned vets of the digital landscape only a brief session. People coming back from a long hiatus from Facebook will be a bit challenged. Especially the changes in privacy and "what am I sharing" questions with some terminology and list changes.

In any event, just wanted to give you a little of what my early perceptions are. I plan on sitting and writing my full thoughts once I explore its capabilities a bit more, and what it could mean for businesses...oh yes! There is a method behind the madness (or something like that).

We also created a great comprehensive video to explore the key features and some nuances of the new profile, the apps available, and get the most out of this change. And if you want YOUR new profile, visit our Facebook page. There is a video to explain how you can upgrade now.
