thanks to source (but rather public) i been able to see what my profile is like using the new profile design (developers beta) perspective

have to commend you as i like it but there issues with tabs / improvements that id like and would give users more customization.

Application tabs
looking through the developer beta all the applications are on the not rightly named Boxes 'tab' but have read in the profiles preview page this is likely to be Applications or Apps.

The application tabs (currently from my list of 156 installed applications: Fluff friends, Human Pets and Birthday Cards) are good but i am not going to do 156 tabs as not all are same amount of being liked and there would be an need to be a way of tab navigating.

One disapproval (this maybe in the final or any public user beta upcoming) but there should be multiple occasions of the 'Boxes' tab (the makeup of this tab but not the content) with the aim allowing users to group applications that similar together 'pokes' 'dating', 'food'. This is something i kept preaching to you on several occasions and is not on the developer beta or at least not active.

One feature for an upcoming feature release to the new profile if tabs get abused is viewing other profiles there could be an 'show all tabs feature'. this show all tabs feature uses the users own tab customizations (for applications or groups of applications). but not using this has the main tabs (info, feed, photo, wall and the old 'boxes' tab (as i like to call it the add all applications an user displays). The other alternative is to limit the amount of tabs at a later date

White Space
there is currently alot of white space to the sides.
its almost certain there will have advertising of some sort in some of the white space but here is a layout idea

• the left hand side white space is removed and the profile content extends to the (left) margin (right hand side RHS used for ads)
  
• right hand side of profile content extends to the margin (on right) and Left hand side (LHS) used for ads

Future extension of tabbing the request page
depending on the success of introducing tabs to the profile page this could possibly extend to the request page that due to application requests in particular is a joke
'appearable' tabs that collapse friend requests, friend suggestions, detailed friends requests, join groups confirmation (accept a person into a controlled group or any related request [accept video/photo or discussion board topic]), groups invites, application invites, events

I like the layout of applications might look placed in a tab (in example called boxes) but i have some disagreements as this is a throw all in 1 place quick fix

You were indicating the more favored ‘boxes’ that could group what we want - this is a landing page - a quick fix for overnight transition or those that can't be bothered what there profile looks like.

For those that 'care' abit more what there profile looks like I/we would like 'boxes' tab to be able upto say 10 'boxes' tabs (each 'boxes' the name is customizable e.g. Poke, Dating, Quizzes, Food & Drink so i can group the applications I want not throw every single one into 1 ‘boxes’ tab.

this all in one boxes tab is going to be crowded if anyone has more then 10 applications and this also is moving away from the extended info application and other applications such as all about me that could join the About tab (however they might needed facebook prior agreement to use About Tab exclusivity

If a user does not want an application being shown in there ALL in one 'boxes' tab or 'user specific grouping tabs' the application should be non visible just like now (Privacy set to no-one)

its not a user fault if application called ’spam/ junk’  (well spam/ junk is an example) and the user does not want it displayed but half there friends have say zombies or vampires and you (profile member) thinks its childish and do not want it visible on your page/ tab. Currently Facebook allows you to hide application boxes therefore developers should deal with that if a user does not want there application it should not be forced onto a user as some applications are suited to be hidden e.g. vampires, paint me, zombies, werewolves, and some dating applications maybe embarrassing.


Name Idea for this all in one applications tab. a name could be 'ALL Applications' or 'All Apps' but I Still want User generated tabs
