Facebook Timeline: Redesign adds music, movies to social network
Quote:
Facebook unveiled a major redesign Thursday that aims to turn the social network into the Internet’s central platform, allowing people to share music, news and movies with their friends online.
Americans already spend far more time on Facebook — 53 billion minutes in May alone — than any other Web site, according to Nielsen. The announcement by chief executive Mark Zuckerberg aims to enhance that ability to keep users captive.
Now, users can see what their friends are listening to, watching or reading, and then consume the same media without leaving the site.
That content will be prominently displayed on a splashy new profile page called “Timeline,” which pulls together all of the media into a single place on the Web.
“We think it’s an important next step to help tell the story of your life,” Zuckerberg said during a keynote speech reminiscent of Apple’s slickly produced presentations.
The Timeline has three main components — a user’s stories, apps and a new way to express a person’s identity. Pictures and videos are featured prominently, making profiles more visually focused, and users can sort through information by date, type of media and location.
Some of the new apps were available immediately. The Timeline layout has started its beta test and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
It will take time getting used to, but I think its nice overall.
I love the whole cover thing on the timeline, and the music and movie integration seems
interesting as well.
You have to become a developer and follow some instructions, Google it. You can also wait some days for it to be released officially without all the bugs and overall "lagginess" it currently has.

I like it overall, it's definitely a good change but I'm usually good when it comes to getting used to new things. They still have to fix a lot though, it still feels a bit incomplete, even for a beta.
The subscribers is just CREEPY!!!! Like seriously it is in favor for the facebook stalking creeps. Do not like at all My ex requested to subscribe to my profile and we are not even friends! It is creepy...
I REALLY like the top banner they added. The only problem Ive had with facebook since the beginning was them trying to stop us from being individuals by keeping all of our pages the exact same. This new banner helps people to express themselves more and promotes creativity NICE SAVE FACEBOOK!
