Facebook announced interesting modifications to the concept of “profile picture” in their social network, including the possibility of using a short video to adorn the personal page of each user.
The company said in a statement that the amendment is “the obvious evolution of profile pictures.” It will operate similarly to the videos of Vine, that is, will be a brief clip that is constantly repeated. “The videos allow to show a part of you that you could not before, and will add a new dimension to your profile.”
Another change announced will be the opportunity to decorate the profile pictures. This comes after the massive response received Facebook after the legalization of gay marriage in the United States. At that time, the network launched a tool to put a rainbow over the images, which was adopted by 26 million people.
The official version of the system was announced today, which will adorn images temporarily, that is, to create the picture you can select an end date, then return to its original state.
A third amendment to the profiles is the inclusion of a line of “bio”, such as it currently does in Twitter. Here the user can leave a message that will appear under his name on his personal website. In addition, privacy controls for users of the network.
Finally will launch a small graphical change to mobile profile, leaving the middle and enlarging picture will improve. The changes take effect today for a user group in California and the UK, with the expansion to the world scheduled for the coming weeks.
