Dive Summary:
- TechCrunch's Josh Constine reports that he has seen an "employee-only iOS app build of an evolved form of Facebook’s mobile news feed," which could refresh the social network's entire look for users.
- Constine says the potential redesign looks more like Flipboard, Google+ for iPad, and Microsoft Metro than the traditional Facebook view that users are used to.
- Constine provide a mockup of the build he claims to have seen, though he writes that the app could change or never be released at all.
From the article:
"... The news feed of the evolved Facebook app I’ve seen creates separate feeds for a few different content types including news and photos. Users navigate between them by swiping sideways on a photo that serves as a header tile filling the top quarter or so of a portrait layout iPhone screen. Below the header is a larger body tile that takes up most of the rest of the screen. From what I saw, it shows one story at a time, with text and who posted it laid on top of a full-screen image. ..."
