Facebook has been making some significant changes to its homepage ahead of their developers’ conference tomorrow [22nd September 2011].
The world’s largest social media company, Facebook has been making some significant changes to the homepage’s newsfeed and also to the user’s profile. This is clearly a sign that the company is competing with its new rival, the Google+.
Currently, Facebook has more than 750 million users in its database and has been serving world wide. This seven year old company has got a major event for the developers tomorrow at San Francisco tomorrow at 9:00 AM PDT, called the F8. You can watch the event live here.
Here’s a small changelog of what’s going on with Facebook:
- The top menubar is now fixed.
- New link to user profile. It now shows your full name instead of profile.
- All options under one single menu (Account Settings, Help Center, Privacy Settings, Use Facebook as Pages and Log out)
- All new Live Newsfeed that scrolls along with the page on the right side.
- Preview in Newsfeed
- Mark as Top Story option
- New smart filter, which enables you to filter the friends automatically based on mutual friends.

This is a developing story. The changelog will be updated as soon as Mark pushes some changes to the code. [/alert_box]
Let me know if I had missed something else in the changelog. Some more major changes are being expected at tomorrow’s Facebook F8 Conference.
