Winning Online

Facebook, the super-popular social networking site, underwent a bit of a facelift this week.  The site, which began as a sort of online college-specific community tool, has made some, in look, subtle changes.  Navigation is more user-friendly and logical, there are not overburdening “apps” - third party applications - overtaking profiles and internal pages and in some ways, it feels almost as though the site has been stretched wider.  The focus is on “feeds”, which show updates of everything that revolves around you on the site, as well as what all your friends are up to - they can offer the information up through the “what are you doing right now?” option or you can see a log of most of their footprints and movement through facebook.  Facebook has always been really easy to use  and it is intriguing in its ability to branch out and find people, automatically most of the time, that you may know.  It is a great friend aggregating tool and a living, breathing update of how everyone is feeling at that moment and what is going on in your “network”.
