Zuckerburg said: “If the core of Facebook experiencing is rethought , then Timeline will be the story of personal life.” The new personal Profile has more visual impact than the past version. To be frank, it is a little similar to the excellent Tumblr Blog (light blogging), it contains main three parts: all personal stories, all personal applications and the new ways to express “who are you”. Zuckerburg said: “We want to design a place where you can be feeling at Home.” The Timeline function can help users to realize the great homepage adjustment and to make out homepage which is exactly like magazines that it can include numerous pictures. What’s more, users can filter the pictures to fully control their own privacy.

Music, news and film sharing

Meanwhile, the homepage of Facebook can show the new programs and functions, people can find out and share music, films ,news and so on with the aim of it.

Collaborate with Netflix, Facebook has launched new programs; and users are allowed to play videos on Facekbook. People can admire the films and TV programs of Netflix while they can keep staying on Facebook. The users can click to watch the programs that other friends have ever seen on Facebook. The only thing you need to do is to click a popup player, there is no need log out Facebook. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings is also one of board officers of Facebook, he has turned up in F8 plenary session. In “News Feed”, the users of Facebook can click the videos in YouTube and in Netflix. If you are American users, then the function is useless for the reason that the data used in Netflix is prohibited according to American laws. For all this, new functions will be still launched in 44 countries.
