You’re probably already noticed that Facebook has made another sweep of changes to its layout and interface. It builds on the previous re-org but moves more towards the Fisher-Price look and feel, which I referred to in my review of the Google Chrome browser.
One of the most talked about new features is the ‘real time’ stream on the News Feed and the fact that users can now determine which of their friend’s feed appear in their news feed by hiding friends and creating groups. More on this from Inside Facebook.
These features – when compared with the fact that users can comment on updates (much like FriendFeed) – make the Newsfeed a lot more like Twitter, which is the current darling of the social media scene. It is beginning to suffer from a bit of over exposure at the moment as any fan of TWIT will testify.
