Facebook Testing a New Timeline Design in New Zealand
Just before the Atlas acquisition was formally announced by Facebook, a news leak from New Zealand-based blog, The Next Web unveiled the new Facebook Timeline design and like page button which was tested on selected New Zealand users. Facebook features the new single-column Timeline design for Facebook users, shifting status updates and shared content to the right-hand side while adding a refreshed ‘About’ section on the left as shown in the screenshot below:

In this new layout, the timeline is likely split into a half side for status updates, the other for recent activity, thumbnail images of friends’ profiles, independent app activity and more.Another thing is the status updates from BuzzFeed links to an article online,and the new ‘Like Page’ button underneath which provides more opportunities to click-through to a company’s Facebook Page. Though this are minor changes so far, Facebook obviously mean new things for marketers and business users...and its good indicator that more updates are forthcoming. The Facebook Graph Search was also tested in New Zealand ground last January 2013.
