It seems as if it was only just yesterday that Facebook rolled out their latest user interface refresh, leaving plenty of people divided on it’s new look. Apparently, the always working team of Facebook staff don’t sleep much — this according to various TechCrunch sources inside Facebook. They mention specifically that the last couple of months things have been on “lockdown” (there’s even a Facebook page for it) with employees being there 24/7 working on a freshened look. So what are they doing to FB now?
The image above is TechCrunch’s Places page. According to their sources, our very own Facebook pages will start to look like this starting tomorrow after they announce the pretty new face at a press event in Palo Alto, California. As you can see, the chat window is moved across the page to the left, chat users’ pictures are now bigger, and apparently, applications will now show as icons instead of dinky icons and some text. Now, this new look isn’t confirmed. We could certainly see a very different layout tomorrow.
For now, however, we’ll assume that TechCrunch’s sources are right and that the current FB Places pages are sharing their layout with the rest of the social networking service. On that note — if your Facebook ends up looking like the image above, will you be happy, confused, mad, or not care? Let us know!
Update
Well…it’s tomorrow and no Facebook redesign has dropped. Looks like it just wasn’t meant to be…yet. Yesterday at Facebook’s media event, CEO Mark Zuckerburg stated that “Lockdown” wasn’t a simple affair and that over the coming weeks and months a true redesign would drop along with several other new features/services. And so we wait…
