Facebook Splits Publisher Into Status, Questions, Photos, and Links

Those with access to Facebook’s Questions feature are seeing a new design of the home page publisher used to share status updates and other sorts of content. Users must now decide whether they want to publish a simple status update, a question, upload a photo, or post a link and website preview. While displaying the different things you can do with the publisher, the design change hides the status update prompt “What’s on your mind?” and the rest of the publisher behind an additional click, which could reduce sharing.

Previously, users were always greeted to the home page with the status update prompt, which folded out to reveal options to post photos, video, events or links.
