Facebook Will Be Redesigning The News Feed, To Be Unveiled March 7th

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Jaden Ellett|Jump To Comments |

It looks like Facebook is about to redesign the News Feed, after an invitation was received from BusinessInsider that points to an event occurring Thursday, March 7th, at 10am PST. As I am sure you can already guess, the News Feed is crucial to Facebook’s advertising base, as both desktop and mobile ads are served into the News Feed and are higher converting than the ads on the right side of the page.

The proposed redesign of the News Feed raises a lot of questions. How well will Facebook mmaintain the balance between user experience and ads, since no doubt one of the major factors in this redesign will be to make more advertising dollars. Secondly, just how does Facebook plan to alter the News Feed?

A lot of theories suggest that it will be heavily image-based, almost resembling Flipboard Flipboard (which of course complements the company’s acquisition of Instagram). TechCrunch created a crude mockup about a month ago that you can see below…

As with any major change to Facebook, there is certainly going to be a rebellion, especially if Facebook’s most-used functionality undergoes a complete transformation. The last major change to the Facebook News Feed was in September 2011, so it has been quite some time.

It will indeed be interesting to see how Facebook plans to alter the News Feed. What do you think? How will Facebook change the News Feed? Let us know in the comments section below.

Nobody likes change with social networks….Look at Myspace, perfect example of how everyone left. I don’t know a single friend who uses it anymore. Youtubes gone through changes as well, but not severe. Facebook best know what their doing otherwise people will most likely leave to Tumblr or Twitter. People like me, like simple user friendly websites that aren’t cluttered with fancy ass flash animations along with disorganization. Make it simple and to the point.

Well every change they’ve made has just been stellar so I’m sure this will be just as awesome.

not.

Fair point, look as App.Net. It’s like Twitter, without the crap. I don’t know how Facebook can continue to push what people want to see to the back and replace them with paid updates or ads. It’s really not what I joined Facebook for any longer.

The new design does reduce the clutter surrounding news feeds and gives
more space for photos and videos. Within the timeline itself, the revamp
made cuts here and there to save as much space as possible. Very good read.Thank you.
