Facebook Rolling Out Redesigned Timeline

facebook_timelineFacebook is rolling out a revamped Timeline, days after rolling out a revamped Newsfeed.

The three-column layout, plus chat on the right-hand side, is getting a tighter look. Posts are on the right side now, with photos, music and other recent activity on the left. It is also easier to access content from earlier years.

You can now organize things on your About page. Freshly redesigned sections give you a place to add music, movies, TV shows and books that interest you, alongside your photos and friends.

If you’re a movie buff, you can add your favorites to your movies section, or use apps like Flixster and Netflix. If you like reading, you can keep track of the books you want to read, or add more with Goodreads. You can also add other apps (like Instagram).
