Facebook News: The Improved Profile - Part III
On the 6th of March, Facebook decided to give some answer about 16 questions. They plan to release the updated profile to their users in early April, 2008.
Following are the 14 changes or non-changes associated to these questions:
1. Facebook applications won’t appear in the narrow column by default, users will have to do it manually if they want to.
2. By default, three applications will appear in the narrow column.
3. Profile boxes in the narrow column will continue to have the same width and padding as today.
4. The narrow column will definitely appear on the “Wall” tab.
5. Up to five profile boxes can appear on the About tab. Facebook will provide two templates for formatting the boxes, one for lists and one for thumbnails with captions.
6. The About tab box is going to be 500 pixels wide (+10 pixels padding on the left & 20 pixels padding on the right).
7. There will be no profile boxes in the wide column of the “Wall” tab.
8. Facebook will consider a tab on the user’s Facebook Home page for application boxes.
9. Application tabs will work like regular canvas pages. They’ll release more information on integrating into application tabs soon.
10. The applications tab will appear in the “more” section after 2 or 4 tabs (not decided yet).
11. Application tabs will run the width of the page (903 pixels).
12. By default, three application profile action links will appear on the profile,
13. Facebook is changing the Platform API and creating new FBML tags. They will release more information about them very soon.
14. Wall and Mini-Feed will be combined on the “Wall” tab so that it will put all of the most important information in the same place, so users don’t have to constantly search around to keep up with their friends.
