Facebook Company simplifies its home page

In his blog Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said, "So to celebrate six years of Facebook and the 400 million people on the service, we're doing what we like doing most -- building and launching products for people."


The majority of changes only affect the top and left menu sections of the home page.

In the Top Menu, Facebook added icons next to its company logo for requests, notifications and messages that light up when there is something new to view.


Clicking on the Friends icon will open a drop-down menu showing the latest five friend requests or suggestions. Clicking on the Notifications icon, which is in the form of a globe, reveals the five most recent comments, postings and announcements by your friends and applications. From here you can edit your friends, change your account, privacy and application settings, check your credits balance, get help or log out of the website.


Facebook organized the Left Menu to make it easier to discover content from friends, access bookmarked applications and games, and see which friends are online.


Clicking on Photos will open up the new Photos page which allows you to see your friends’ photo albums with the most recently updated albums listed first. You are also able to upload your own photos and videos from the Photos page. The page also lists the games your friends are playing and how recent they played them.

The bottom of the Left Menu lists of any friends who are online. You can click on their name to open up a chat window. Clicking on the Chat box allows you to edit your chat options.


Zuckerberg hopes people like the simpler home page writing on his blog, "It's rewarding to see that as Facebook has grown, people around the world are using the service to share information about events big and small and to stay connected to everyone they care about."
