Facebook Tests New Streamlined Timeline Layout

Facebook changed the game for marketers (and irked several users) when it made the switch to the timeline format. Now it looks like the social network might tweak timeline a bit, making it more of a single-column format. Sister site Inside Facebook confirmed with Facebook that the site is testing a new, sleeker design of timeline for a select few users.

As Inside Facebook notes, this change addresses one of users’ primary criticisms of timeline by having all posts in one column.

In this test, all wall posts appear on the left hand side, while open graph actions such as songs listened to on Spotify and recent activity will be stuck on the right hand side.
