Facebook gets a face lift

This morning I woke up to find my Facebook page was completely re-designed. Over all it looks like an improvement except it will take me 10 days to figure out where everything is again. Here are some pics

Here is the help page that tells you more about it http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/homepage.php

Facebook Went Crazy after getting Drunk on Christmas

This morning when I woke up Facebook suggested I upgrade my browser to IE 8, or Chrome or Firefox. The funny thing is that I was running the latest version of Chrome at that time. I tried opening IE 8 and Firefox and on both it gave me the same suggestion. Facebook I believe you had too much to drink

Merry Christmas~

New Facebook Home

Facebook has rolled out its new home to a limited number of users. It seems to be doing it in phases like every other company does these days. The changes aren’t very significant. They seem to be wanting to compete with TWITTER because the only new thing they offer is “live streaming” of posts and status changes from friends.

You’re looking at the real-time stream of posts from your friends and connections. Control the stream using the filters on the left. To hide posts from friends in this stream, click the “x” in the upper-right corner of a post. Learn more.

My fiance was one of the lucky first to be changed over and I am using her account to write this, it seems to me that either they haven’t turned the service fully on or they are missing the boat completely. I used my personal account to make an updated and I expected it to show automatically on her home page since its supposed to be a live stream. I waited several minutes and saw no change, I had to refresh the page for it to pull up the new status changes and updates. So far I am not very impressed although I must say that the change is small enough to get by without much trouble unlike the beacon feauture and the terms of service.

Here is a screens-shot of her profile after the change.

How do you like the new change? Did it work as advertised?
