Soon, your Facebook interface is going to change. In the Facebook 2.0, users are going to have more pictorial presentation of the news feed. Some of you could start experiencing the new, re-designed Facebook right from today, while others would be introduced to this new experience in phases.

The content, he argues, should have broad diversity of content. It should have high quality of public content from world renowned sources. It should also have socially and locally relevant updates from family and friends.
