Facebook has recently gone crazy about including features on the site. May be its a good thing, may be not so much, lets find out.
1) Messages -
It was one of the best features of the site, fast, reliable and very easy to use/navigate. Although, i am not sure the new version would be to the liking of everyone.
You can now switch between, quick reply mode(Using "enter" key to send messages) , and normal mode(Use the reply/send buttons). I would say that's a good inclusion. Also, you can choose to send a copy of the message as a text message (basically to the mobile).
2) Wall/News Feed - Now you can only post comments only using the Enter key. No buttons, and its indeed very very fast.
3) Chat - Well not the best chat options available, and not much change here either. The only change i could see was the "Go to conversation" quick link added to the chat window beside the close button.
A few hidden features i like are -
a) Selective sharing - you can choose to select who you want to share your posts(link/pictures/text) with. You can choose to select all friends, everyone or just a few of your friends.
b) Typing @ symbol on text areas lets you select a friend and you can use that to post as a link to his/her profile.
c) The secure browsing option using the https secure protocol was interesting. Although, you cannot play games etc if you are using Facebook securely.
And lastly some cool emoticons i use -
8| - Cool
B-) - Cool2
[:|] - Robot
And there's this cute one i found on the web -
(,”)\ ♥♥ (“,)
./♥\. + ./█\. = ♥
_| |_ ♥♥ _| |_
I was mostly looking forward to changes to FB chat, but some changes nonetheless. It was about time.
