Facebook has launched the long-planned redesign of its homepage, 400 million people now are now using the site, the company says, with 50 million new users since December 2009. The first test screenshots apppeared last October.
Parts of the site that were formerly located in the bottom toolbar, bookmarks, notifications, chat, are now being moved up into the left-hand navigation column on the homepage, or into the top navigation bar.
Facebook says that there are a lot more people are engaging with notifications in the new design, Peter Deng tells says, which isn’t surprising since it’s at the top left-hand side of the site instead of the right hand of the bottom toolbar. Notifications for third parties will appear within the new interface for the rest of the month, until Facebook removes them on March 1.
This comes on the heals of Facebook announcing that they have ended their display add deal with Microsoft that was due to end in 2011. Microsoft invested $240 million in Facebook for a 1.6 percent stake in the company in October 2007. It was reported that the Microsoft deal would be extended past 2011 but no details have been released.
