hi I'm a TA with the verge and we're here with Facebook's redesigned news feed so a lot of what Facebook has done here is try to put a lot more white space and make everything bigger in its new design what it's done in part is take the news ticker from here and remove it and then move your messaging over here and then use that space that's freed up to make the photos and posts a lot bigger you'll see that you've got a sidebar that's very sort of mobile inspired that includes your messages and events and then you've got larger photos and some full descriptions of things like shared articles if you scroll down and you find photos you'll see that they're not actually breaking out the text of the photos anymore instead they're actually overlaying it onto the photograph itself they've made the whole thing a little bit easier to see and a little bit more consistent with what you'll find on a lot of other sites they've also done is separate out your news feeds here you've got a standard news feed of your friends and you've also got some of the same lists you had before like close friends but you've also got dedicated feeds for photos games and any lists that you create for instance you can see anything that your friends have liked or played that's related to music by going to your music feed and if you've liked a page it'll also start suggesting news related to say music news pages that you've liked you've also got a dedicated feed of everyone that you're following so you'll be able to just have what's essentially a news ticker of the articles that are being shared and the posts that are being made on the public pages that you follow this whole thing is going to roll out across mobile and web it's actually starting right now on the web and then it's going to come to mobile in the next few weeks Facebook says this is going to be a pretty slow rollout you can sign up for a waiting list but it may not actually start showing up for a while you
