    Facebook Profile Preview Email June 1st 2008

    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
