Facebook’s New Profiles: First Impressions


Facebook has unveiled its new Timeline profile pages, and they are a radical departure from the Facebook you know.

On the stage of the f8 developer conference in San Francisco, Mark Zuckerberg explained, “We’re more than what we did recently,” thus he and his team set out to create a Facebook experience where you could explore not just what your friends did today, but what your friends did last week, last month and last year.

The new Timeline is the answer to the problem of filling in the context of someone’s entire life. It is a moving mosaic of the photos, videos, places and status updates that make up not just your Facebook profile, but in a way, your personality. Facebook wants to chronicle your life, and now you can see the scrapbook.

We’ve had a chance to try out the new Facebook profiles and play with Timeline. The following are our first impressions of the new product, as well as screenshots of Facebook Timeline in action.
