Facebook Changes Their Look and Features - Again

Facebook constantly tweaks their site - not everyday but often.

In the latest set of changes, the status update box is different. If you have a link, you simply include it in your text and it autimatically is converted when the update is posted. It appears as regular text until posted. The "link" icon has been removed - but just from personal pages.

You can also now do a quick survey or poll to involve your friends.

 

 

At the bottom of the status update box, which remains hidden until you open the box, you can choose who can see the post (privacy settings) for each individual update. You can also make the post private, and you can disclose your location if you wish.

If you just post a text update and don't want to change any of your settings, nothing has changed. It's business as usual - just with a different look.

Another New Look For Facebook

Facebook continually changes it features. This time, the change is subtle but intuitive. Many people may not even notice it.

To leave a comment, simply type your response and hit "Enter" - the comment posts. They have done away with the "Comment" button.

Putting Facebook In Perspective

We have been told that if Facebook was a country that it would be the 3rd largest in the world. Now it's even larger. Six months ago, in July 2010, Facebook had over 500,000,000 registered active monthly users. Don't know how many more were inactive.

Now, the number has grown to more than 600,000,000 - or roughly double the entire population of the United States. In Census figures just released, the 2010 population of the US was set at just under 309,000,000 people.

So Facebook enjoys a popularity and utility that accounts for twice as many activ users as there are people in America. That's a lot. No wonder it is the premier social meida site.
