The New Facebook Profiles Page

Last night facebook released the new facebook profile page. The video above gives a vague overview of what exactly has changed, but good old mashable have gone through it all here in more detail.

I can't find any information yet whether fan pages will be effected by the new profile design, but for now I'll just presume they will.

From a brand point of view it will be interesting to see the effects of moving the tabs from the top of the page to the left. Promotional tabs may become less visible and brands may have to work harder to highlight new tabs and apps.

If the image slideshow at the top of the page is applied to brand pages there might be some interesting opportunities for showcasing events or fans.

If you'd like to try it out here's the link.
