Facebook changing its look
You know the whole social networking thing has blown up when your parents ask you to be your friend on Facebook. Well that happened to me a few weeks back when my dad sent me a friend request.
I remember when Facebook first started you had to have a college e-mail address to join. Now a days anyone can join – even your parents
This week Facebook will roll out a new design that not only will affect your personal Facebook pages, but also significantly change fan pages.
The biggest changes include fan pages and personal profiles having more similarities and the status box at the top of the page will be a ‘What’s on your mind’ box eliminating the “is”.
The first change hopes to open up the doors between the average people on the site and those celebrities who have the fan pages. The second change will bring a Twitter like quality to Facebook with a what’s happening right now feel, much like Twitter does.
The competition between social networking sites will always be there. To me it seems as if these Facebook changes are a direct result of the rise of Twitter.
That’s the thing about the Internet, it changes daily.
And oh by the way I accepted my dad’s friend request. There is room for everyone in the social networking craze.
