Facebook has recently announced that they will be revamping the design of profile pages on their popular social networking site as an effort to organize the clutter that comes from their users’ diverse activities. Easing the navigation of photo albums, history, friend updates and applications, the development team will be splitting the profile page into threes sections, separated by tabs at the top of the page.

The tabs will be labeled `Wall’, `About’ and `Photos,’ and the content will be divided accordingly. The development team is also hinting that users will be able to create additional tabs. This move is intended to make profile navigations more organized as people add more applications, as well as personal information, on their profile pages.

What makes this transition particularly interesting for those involved with Social Media Marketing is how the profile page changes will effect applications. Advertisers and marketers are dependant on having their apps appear on the front page of people’s profiles for maximum exposure. It remains to be seen how these applications will displace as the pages become more organized and customizable.

You can be sure that Apollo Media will be following the launch of the new design this spring as we track developments in application creation and social media marketing within Facebook’s massive community.
