Facebook releasing new look for News Feed today

3.9
It is very clear that Facebook's News Feed is a giant factor in site usage so one year ago the company released plans for major design changes to the site fixture for both desktop and mobile iterations. The mobile user interface tweaks were seen by mobile users without much dismay but the same could not be said for the desktop version for the unlucky few in a private test for the tweaks. The desktop design featured complicated menus and ill thought out filters for both the left and right side columns of your News Feed, it didn't get raving reviews from those involved in the private test. According to Facebook those design decisions will not be included in the design rolling out today to desktop users.

The new design features a brand new look for News Feed including larger images than previous designs, a new font , and a light gray background. Among the changes the left side column is a tad smaller along with a few page icons being swapped out.

The design will roll out in batches to users over the next few weeks yet while mobile users will retain their current user interface.

Looks the same as now? I mean, it literally is the same as now just they changed the colour a little!? You guys really should stop moaning over little things like this

I wish they would stay with a layout.. They are almost like youtube, they change what is already good.

I rarely get on Facebook nowadays. When I do, it's just to check the news feed. But, I still don't get why you would keep changing things.

Yeah, I agree. Its kinda getting phased out by Instagram and other networks.


I don't know about that, I think facebook will keep going strong for a good while.

-Mark I really don't get on Facebook too much anymore but the revamped News Feed looks pretty nice. I have never been a huge fan of their design but it's a lot better than others.


I kind of stopped using facebook as well but they are keeping facebook up to date quite well. I really like this update.
