This line is in the Requirements section for a marketing communications job at Facebook. They’re also looking for more designers and a user interface engineer.
Why?

They’re introducing a new design and have been allowing members to preview the new features and functionality by navigating between the new and current versions of the site. 100,000 members already offered feedback, and access to the new design will gradually become available to all of its users.

The changes?
• An expanded “Wall” section to integrate feeds about friends, with ability to leave comments
• Third-party apps are simpler

You can:
• Test an app before deciding to add it to your profile
• Add photos, video and notes in one place instead of navigating to each individual app

Developing its new design since the beginning of the year, Facebook wants to “give users even more control and ownership over their profiles and simplify the user experience,” said founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Compared to MySpace’s changes, these are hardly noticeable. Perhaps that’s the way it should be.
