So, finally we're getting rid off the
confusing two-column Facebook Timeline. If reports are to be believed,
an improved Timeline layout should be available for users pretty soon.
Facebook has
reportedly started rolling out a redesigned Timeline layout to select
users. The new profile layout does away with the two column and
illustrates all the posts/activities in a single column.
According to Mashable, the changes are currently available for Facebook
users in New Zealand. The new layout includes a new “Collections
Manager” feature that enables users to personalise the content on the
top of their Timeline and manage the right-hand column.
As noted by The Next Web, the right portion of the Timeline is now smaller – i.e. the Friends box in now 3 x 3 instead of 2 x 4. Here's how the new Timeline looks like:
The new design also brings the ability
to “rearrange” the items such as Likes, Photos, Maps and others in the
column on the right. Earlier, users could only hide them. Users can
“rearrange” the items via the above-mentioned “Collections Manager”
The change is likely to be available for more users around the world in the near future.
We've been hearing about the social
networking giant ditching its two-column based Timeline for quite some
time. Back in November 2012, reports claimed
the new Timeline will have all posts in a single column on the left,
while the activity modules and friends, places, apps and other sections
on the right.
The new Timeline layout is likely to
help Facebook address numerous complaints from users with regards to the
display of the posts in the new profile. Users have to look back and
forth on the page while scrolling to check out their stream.
