Facebook Rolls Out New Profile Pages

Just prior to Mark Zuckerberg’s appearance on 60 Minutes last night, Facebook began rolling out its new profile pages to users.

While not all users have the new profile yet, you can choose to activate yours simply by clicking on the announcement in your newsfeed.

The new profile page provides a more streamlined format of users’ personal information in order to help them connect with friends. At the top of each user’s page is a summary that includes basic information such as where they’re from, where they live now, and where they work. Below this summary appears a series of recently tagged pictures. Interests now appear as a series of images as well, which users can drag-and-drop to rearrange in whatever order they want.

Users can also highlight important relationships on their profile by sorting friends into groups like “Best Friends” or “Coworkers.” Another feature is that when you click on a friend’s profile, a link appears on the top right-hand side of the page that allows you to see a summary of your relationship with that person, including mutual friends, wall posts, and photos.

You can see screenshots of the new profile page, courtesy of Mashable here.

Do you have the new profile page? What do you think? Let us know below.
