Details of updates on Facebook

Facebook has provided new information about the upcoming update of user profiles, which was intended to be held in April.

Profiles will be divided into five categories: Updates (Feed), Wall (Wall), User Data (Info), Photos (Photos) and Subsections (Boxes). The “Updates” section, as before, will contain news, but they will become short, capacious and will occupy just one line.
Something is not clear with the sections Feed (Updates) and Wall (Wall). It seems that users can post messages in the Feed section of their friends. This will be possible thanks to a new option called Publisher tool . It is presented by developers as a replacement for the previous option for attaching multimedia files to the walls of friends. Now you can leave only text messages on the walls. Thus, the Wall and Mini-feed services will be combined.

Some people believe that the new Publisher service will also allow communication through comments (which reminds FriendFeed), but the official documents do not say anything about it. The screenshots show that the comments will be an exchange of messages from the walls of users.
The “Boxes” section will be located in the part of the page where there are currently subsections showing the applications used. All five sections will be installed by default, but for favorite applications, users will be able to add their own sections in the form of pages that look like canvases. It seems that Facebook’s leadership is putting pressure on developers: they hid profile sections in the “Boxes” category, but compensated for this with new full-fledged pages. It is also reported that Facebook will allow you to create up to 5 application sections that will be displayed on the left side of the screen, but will be strictly limited in size.

Unfortunately, Facebook has not yet submitted any screenshots of the new design, except for the one posted above, but it doesn’t give almost any idea about the update.
