Facebook Introduces New Profile

Facebook's New Profile Layout

Well first Facebook introduced group chat. Then they changed the appearance of the groups. Now, they have introduced a new profile style. It looks pretty much the same as the group style.

In a blog post, Facebook outlined the changes. In a nutshell, the new profile page does the following:

• Emphasizes pictures with a row of tagged pictures.
• Allows you to highlight friends important to you and feature lists of pals.
• Highlight more detailed information about yourself in a profile.

Well the new profile looks pretty much similar to LinkedIn. Check out what Facebook decided to highlight:

The profile also gives you new ways to share your interests and activities. You can list the projects you worked on at your job, classes you took in school, your favorite musicians and sports teams, and more…

In other words, Facebook will at least allow you the option to use it more as an online resume. Funny that’s exactly how LinkedIn is used. If you can list your jobs, key projects and work connections on Facebook does that minimize the importance of LinkedIn? There’s no ready answer to that query, but you have to wonder.
