Facebook has given itself a face-lift for its sixth birthday.
The online social network — which now boasts a population of 400 million people — unveiled on Thursday night several surface changes to the look and feel of its home page.
“Facebook began six years ago today as a product that my roommates and I built to help people around us connect easily, share information and understand one another better,” founder Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a blog post on Thursday night.
“We hoped Facebook would improve people’s lives in important ways. So it’s rewarding to see that as Facebook has grown, people around the world are using the service to share information about events big and small and to stay connected to everyone they care about.”
