Facebook has just unveiled it’s new Home Page and guess what? It pleases not just a few HR Marketers but also hard core HR pros. According to them (Facebook), a simplified design provides easy access to your entire Facebook experience and I couldn’t agree more – you can check this page for a tutorial of this new homepage.

You might be wondering if I am a Facebook evangelist, and yes, I am! As to why? Because I’ve been reaping the rewards of using Facebooks’ cool apps and tools. In fact, with Facebook, crowdsourcing has never been difficult and complicated for me as an HR pro.

Actually, dropping news/updates and attracting targeted talent (potential) has never been really that difficult for my 155,000.00  + fan page members.

Anyway, in summary, here are a few of the enhancements:

The Top Menu

• The top menu has been simplified to make it easier to get to what’s new and important.
• Icons for requests, messages, and notifications light up when there’s something new you won’t want to miss.
• The Account Menu contains links to important settings pages. It’s also where you can go to find help or log out
• The Basics — Search, Home and Profile — are accessible at the top of every page.

The Left Menu

• The left menu has been organized to make it easier for you to find and discover content from friends, read your messages, see what your friends are up to, access applications and more.
• Core Features such as News Feed, Messages and your Friends – are at the top, making it easier to keep up with what’s new.
• Applications you’ve bookmarked have moved up the page for easy access. The new Applications and Games dashboards help you discover new and interesting information from your friends
• Friends Online provides quick links to chat with your friends, or quickly go online yourself. To edit your options, find Facebook Chat in the bottom bar.

So, what are you waiting for? Experience it now – the Facebook.
