To make sure users are seeing all the stories they want to see, Facebook is introducing several new feeds to explore in addition to the same news feed they have today:
– All Friends – a feed that shows you everything the user’s friends are sharing
– Photos – a feed with nothing but photos from friends and the pages they like
– Music – a feed exclusively with posts about the music
– Following – a feed with the latest news from the pages users like and the people they follow.
With the new design, Facebook said, it has the same look and feel on mobile, tablet and web. For example, the left-hand menu is accessible anywhere the users go on Facebook. They also have a way to jump right to the top of news feed whenever new stories come in. Industry sources expect new advertsing opportunities to be available with the new design.
Facebook added it will roll out the new design slowly over the coming weeks on web and mobile. Users who like to get it early, may visit www.facebook.com/newsfeed and add themselves to the waiting list. These design updates will be available on iPhone and iPad in the coming weeks and to Android soon after.
