JAKARTA - Facebook will overhaul the face on its Pages or public pages belonging to artists, public figures and brands connected with their fans.

This new view for public pages will only display the number of followers and a special News Feed. Where users have a place and can join conversations, interact and engage with fans.

"We are removing likes and focusing on followers to simplify the way people connect with their favorite pages," said Facebook Head of Public Connections and Monetization, Asad Awan, as quoted by TechCrunch, Thursday, January 7.

In addition, the redesign of Facebook Pages also includes a simpler and more intuitive layout and a dedicated news feed. Navigation is also made easier between personal profiles and Pages.
