Facebook and Google+ are on updates spree... They come with new updates on a daily basis. This has strengtened the competition and better services.
The redesign for timeline has been tested in New Zealand and other parts of the world, but Facebook announced Wednesday that it will start officially rolling out the new look to select users immediately. Much like Facebook’s updated news feed, the goal for timeline is to reduce clutter and place more options in the hands of users.

Facebook is making itself better to compete better with Google+. As a part of this, it has introduced a new feature "Subscribe".
It wasn't easy before to control what you see in your News Feed. It's obvious that you'd like to know more about your close friends rather than ex-colleagues. There was no option to get feeds from people who aren't friends.
Subscribe option is a solution to all these. It'll be present on the people's profiles on the top right corner. 
Facebook has 3 uses for the subscribe button:
Choose what you see from people in News Feed
Hear from people, even if you're not friends
Let people hear from you, even if you're not friends
You can also choose what types of contents you see from a profile, which is optional.
Subscribe to Interesting People
You can now get public feeds from people who aren't your friends. You can just click on the Subscribe button to get updates(if public) about them in your News Feed.
You can choose what types of contents you want to see here too.
Get Your Own Subscribers
If you'd like to share your public updates with more than just friends, you can get a Subscribe button on your profile, too. People who subscribe to you will get posts in their News Feeds only when you set the update as "Public". This feature is also optional.
Read the original content on Facebook Blog (Source). Check out more images on the Subscribe option below.
