New ad integration on the Facebook platform has been confirmed for awhile for brands, but now it’s going public. Instead of having traditional ads appear on the sides of the homepage, they will appear in the same space but as a kind of mini feed story beginning February 29.

Expected outcome of new ad layout:
-40% increase in engagement
-80% percent more likely to be remembered
-16% increase in fan rate
Examples of new ads:

So it seems like this is great for advertisers, but what about individual Facebook users?
