According to All Facebook, Facebook is making changes fast and furiously. Much like the Birthday tweak we noticed, Facebook is not announcing these changes necessarily, but it’s very interesting to see these easter egg type changes pop up.
The most interesting change we think is when you visit a company page, you are told how many of your friends have worked there. In the present AND past tense, though, which Facebook makes confusing with their wording.
When you add a company you have or are working at, you’re added to the network for that company on Facebook. Facebook is now showing that data on the company page.
All Facebook also points out:
- The site has renamed an old test module “past status updates,” which we’d last seen called “on this day in,” followed by the year.
- Poke notifications have received a makeover: They now include the old icon showing a hand with index finger extended.
- The ticker on the right-hand side of the home page automatically shrinks to take up less real estate on the screen wheneer friend activity on the site subsides. Some have observed the ticker move beneath sponsored stories.
This is a change in engineering practice for Facebook, as the overhaul is fast and furiously. The Google+ team is taking a similar approach, albeit with larger features like Google+ shared circles.

LikeI wouldn't mind the rapid pace of changes so much ... except that they seem to be stepping all over the things I used to like about FB.

LikeDrew Olanoff 1) Mostly the news feed - I liked it the way it was. Constantly having FB guess at what I think is important for my newsfeed is rather annoying - they aren't getting it right very often. Just skip the suggestions and take me directly to the Most Recent view (I know I can still get there, it's just an extra step now).
2) I also liked the single click on the drop down to "Block all Messages from Farmville" - the new process of blocking a message then selecting the criteria to define what should be blocked going forward is clunky. It just feels like a step backwards in usability.
Yeah - I know I'm just being a whiner!
