Say hello to your new Facebook homepage

They have been telling us to watch for it, and today it finally launches. Well, for some users anyway. Facebook rolled out their new homepage today for some (it should be there for everyone soon), and the features may look rather familiar to you if you use Twitter.

Rather Twitter-esque…the big change in the Facebook homepage is their real-time updates and their new way of doing newsfeeds. The thing is, the real-time update doesn’t so far seem to be operating in exact real time. It takes some refreshing. The stream of updates obviously only displays for a short period of time as well, so they put a new “Highlights” sidebar on your page, where you can see some of the older stuff it deems interesting to you.
