Goals for new design:
* For users: Make profiles cleaner and simpler, give users more control over their profiles, and emphasize recent and relevant information
* For developers: Create more meaningful engagement with users, offer new integration points in profiles, and provide distribution for engaging applications
Feed Tab
Heart of the new profile. Continuous stream of all different types of information. Includes wall posts. With publisher tool, both owners and viewers can create content on the profile. With story re-sizing feature, users can choose from 3 different sized stories.’
Info Tab
Contains contents of original core Facebook profile. Reason for splitting the feed and info tabs: feed content changes often, info content tends to be more static. Want to make the info tab extensible for third party developers (no details yet what that will entail).
Photos Tab
14 million photos uploaded daily, 6 billion total - a very popular application across Facebook, hence its own tab. Photos is just one example of many apps that can blow up and get their own tabs.
Boxes Tab
Place for application boxes, as you see mixed in with information and feed on current profile. All current boxes on profile will be completely preserved. Users will still have control over moving boxes around, resizing them, etc. “A lot of value here” to putting boxes on own page.
Custom Application Tab
Users can create individual tabs for each application, to showcase their favorites. You can control where the tabs show up.
