Live updates from Facebook’s News Feed event, where the company is expected to reveal a revamped design for the feature.
Don’t get too excited – this is just a designer’s concept.
Facebook is preparing to unveil changes it’s made to its News Feed tomorrow, but it looks like we may have caught a glimpse of what the company is planning to showcase tomorrow in a story we published last week. Facebook began testing out a new Timeline layout in New Zealand that would do away with the dual-column layout to replace it with a hybrid which would have the person’s information to the left of their profile, while their status updates would be located on the right side.
This doesn’t seem to be the only change Facebook will be making as we can also expect multiple news feeds based on categories, such as music your friends are listening to or images shared on Instagram. In addition to that, we could also expected larger photos to be displayed on Facebook as well as image-based advertisements. (more…)

Facebook invited the press to an event at its Menlo Park campus on March 7, where the company plans to show off a new look for its News Feed product.
Facebook is once again calling all media to its offices on March 7 at 10 a.m. PT as they have plan to announce a redesign to the service’s News Feed, which many are speculating will be to Facebook’s mobile news feed. Invites have started to be sent out to media, which you can expect to hear the latest on what changes Facebook has made to its News Feed right here.
Earlier today, we reported on some new design changes Facebook is testing out in New Zealand that would change their dual-layer Timeline layout into a single-column layout with the left side of a person’s Facebook page dedicated to displaying information from their “About” page. We don’t believe next week’s event will have any relation to the company’s testing of a new Timelines profile, although we wouldn’t be surprised if it was mentioned.
Facebook also announced yesterday it purchased Microsoft’s Atlas ad business for an estimated $30 to $50 million. Maybe Facebook is planning on throwing more ads to its mobile News Feed, which we’re sure you’ve noticed have been completely out of hand lately.

It’s weird that as Facebook introduces retail Facebook post sponsorship that they changed the algorithm (Edgerank) that controls who sees your statuses. Like Google’s SEO, Facebook Optimization is a big deal for people trying to spread messages to as many people as possible. Here’s a tip about a phenomenon I’ve personally noticed: text-only posts show up on way more news feeds that statuses that include a link or a picture. Of course, people don’t usually pass text-only statuses around; you have the best chance to go viral with a post with substance, so it’s a catch-22.
