The new layout removes the tabs on the top of the page giving it a fresh look than just a contemporary user profile pages. With the new design, links appears instead of tabs on the left side of the page underneath the brand's profile picture.
The redesign is already out and will take effect from March 10 for all. The pages are mainly designed for businesses, brands, public figures and organizations to oversee their daily operations. Sending a message to administrators on February 10, the company offered pages owners the opportunity to preview and upgrade early to the new format.
With the latest updation, you can interact with other pages as your brand, rather than yourself. Many features previously enjoyed only by the individual users, are made available here. For example, 'Likes' and comments on your page are displayed on the notifications bar guise. A photo-strip option have been created above the wall that displays the latest photos the Page has 'tagged' itself in and the photos will be displayed in a different order every time the page loads.
As Facebook has always been able to come up with new things, more features and options to this are expected in the near future.
