Facebook now features app activity more prominently on Timeline

Facebook has expanded the “recent activity” box on users’ Timelines and added a new “recently used apps” box to give more prominence to Open Graph applications.

The changes make stories more visual and as a result could help users discover new applications and pages through their friends. However, users have limited control over how these boxes display on their profiles, and Facebook should be mindful of how it implements features like this.

User Timelines include boxes for individual applications like Pinterest or Foursquare, as well as boxes for categories like music, games, video and news.
