Today, Facebook is taking additional steps to compete and remain the strong leader in Social Media platforms, which is great news. Enhancements are always welcome when they make using their service easier.
Here are some new screen shots and an brief explanation of the new features:
- The dashboard has a lot more simplicity. Commenting on birthdays is as simple as hovering over the content and a “light box” appears for easy posting.
- The chat box is smaller
- While some data and posts seem to be missing and you can no longer toggle between Most Recent news and Top News, Facebook has made editing preferences based on friends easier. They have also included a box in the top right for viewing updates that I users are mentioned in, and again, that “light box” feature for quick responses and comments.
So far, I havent gotten this update and most of the people I work with havent seen this yet either.
All these changes are coming right around Facebook’s F8 Conference. I suspect there will be lots more updates coming from F8.
Stay tuned!
