Facebook Home Page Getting a Major Update Next Week
by Terrence O'Brien, posted Mar 5th 2009 at 7:05AM

The only way to stay ahead in this Internet game is to be constantly evolving. You need to be faster, more mobile, and more flexible than your competition. That's how Google dominates search and Web mail, how Twitter pummels its micro-blogging competitors, and how Facebook has overtaken MySpace.

Facebook knows that its position at the top of the social networking heap is precarious. So, only a few months after undertaking a major redesign, Facebook is bringing some more new hotness to its home page. The news feed that appears on the main page when you log in will soon be replaced with a live feed view that will update in real-time as your friends change their status, add photos, or do anything else. For those who are staring at that last sentence in horror, don't worry; the new home page will also feature powerful filtering tools that will allow you to block content from particular apps, or users, entirely.

At the top of the page will be a new publishing tool, allowing you to post pictures, status updates, links, and almost anything else that your heart desires, without ever having to leave the new hub.

Facebook 'pages' will also be updated to make them more like regular profiles, complete with status updates, which might be an interesting way for companies like CNN to keep people abreast of current events.

We're looking forward to the changes, which should be going live next week.

That sounds interesting and more user-friendly. Hopefully they'll get rid of some bugs that slow me down when I'm on there. And maybe the Facebook IM will be worked on. That thing is a pain in the ass. Lol. Everytime I'm using it, on various computers, it constantly loses connection. Drives me nuts.

But these changes sounds good. Guess we'll just wait and see.

Even though I still prefer Myspace to Facebook.

Lol.

I read the note facebook posted the other day.
The new updates look prety good. Plenty of options to play around with.
