New Features and Updates on FaceBook

The social media world has literally gone crazy. The last year or so has seen FaceBook come under pressure from the likes of Twitter. Instead of keeping their social networking model the same as always, FaceBook are constantly chopping and changing their platform and feature to ensure that they are one of, if not the best, social networking website on the internet. Of course, the demands of users that visit social networking sites are constantly changing, which means the social sites need to be able to adapt easily.

 

New features included a live stream box. This is FaceBooks’ second social networking widget which allows users to connect to each other and then share and post updates from an application or Facebook Connect website.

 

Alongside this, a new feature has been implemented that will enable FQL queries even more powerful than they ever were. This will mean that users can send a batch of queries and results can be obtained quickly and easily.

 

That’s the technical side of things! The last few months FaceBook has managed to completely overhaul their site. A lot of people disagreed with the decision to change the FaceBook lay out to a new one, but the visitor count still continues to rise. Developers in the application section are hard at work, with 100’s of new applications coming online ready for users to access every single day.

 

The last batch of updates, announcements and new features were implemented in June, so it is expected that some more new features and updates will be coming to the surface extremely soon.
