Facebook has drastically improved its Notes feature, taking out the need for HTML and making it work more like a word processor.
Beyond adding standard text editing formatting (bold, italics, bullet points, etc) Facebook has also integrated its tagging capability into Notes. So now you can tag a note for friends or for Pages. It’ll be interesting to see how people will apply these tags and how they will use Notes going forward, as obviously, Facebook’s idea is to make Notes much more social.
According the post on the Facebook Blog,
“When viewing Notes from a Facebook Page, you can browse notes in which that Page has been tagged by one of your friends or by people who shared their note with “everyone.”"
Furthering the social aspect, Facebook is also making Notes easier to find as well as organize with this update, with a new left-hand menu.
Sounds good… hopefully they fixed the recent RSS posting issues they’ve had
Was this new “Note” system unveiled just yesterday? I wish I had made the changes, to my Fan Page’s “Note” (published last month) before then; When I did this evening, it changed the date/time stamp, to today!
(The prior system, as far as I recall, allowed us to make edits to our Notes, after they were posted, and still retained the prior date & time stamp; That’s what most blogging services also do.)
Apparently, in making things “simpler,” they’ve made it harder, for those of us who know (knew!) what we were doing!
