So your facebook changed, and more is on the way…

September 23rd, 2011

but it's ok!  Here's what's coming, as Zuckerburg announced at the F8 Keynote. (Even if you aren't really wanting to watch the 1 hour and 42 minute speech, I strongly urge you to watch the first 10 minutes to get a laugh!)

:: New Timeline ::

(Believe me, it's SWEET!)  

:: Social Apps ::

How Apps will be more socially integrated, and the ticker becomes more useful than annoying:   In addition this this beautiful eye candy, there introducing more things such as OpenGraph. This will allow many things such as
  • you won't be interrupted to approve an app from posting because you can give it permission to post on your timeline initially rather than every single time.
  • share more information from apps (Spotify, hulu, netflix, etc.)
  • the "like" button can now be any verb developers want to make it. So instead of 'liking' every movie you watch, you can use hulu or netflix, for example, to "watch" a movie.
  Still upset over News Feed changes? Check out this article: New Facebook: 6 Things you Need to Know from lujure.com The ticker thing that is annoying everyone is here to stay; we'll just have to get used to it. As more social apps become available, it will actually be more useful and facebook's "real-time serendipity" will make us grateful. We'll discover new things ie. music, games, movies from our friend's within the ticker and on their timeline. The new changes coming with Timeline are awesome, so be expecting them, so you are not surprised when they get here.
