Social networking site gets a Facebook lift

New design for Facebook aims to make it easier to use

Social networking website Facebook is being revamped, with a new design intended to make it easier to keep up to date.

The main change is the Wall section, where more details about a user's activities will be published in bitesize updates.

The new design also aims to tidy up the site by combining several different menus into a single navigation bar at the top of the screen.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said: “We've made the changes in order to highlight the most recent and relevant information that users value, give users even more control and ownership over their profiles and simplify the user experience.

“Facebook's new design makes it a lot easier for users to share information, and we encourage them to check it out.”

Over the coming weeks all Facebook users will automatically be sent to the new version of the site when they log in. However, those that cannot wait can view it at www.new.facebook.com.
