Yes, more facebook changes are on the way!

Don’t panic!

It’s all good!

Most of us don’t like change. It annoys us, frustrates us and disrupts our comfort zone.  We love becoming more comfortable, but the change part? Not so much!

Facebook is actually making some good changes this time.

Things will be easier to find and get to. For some people it will appear that there are new features, simply because they never noticed them or knew that they existed before!

It is not uncommon for example, for me to encounter people who are unaware that private emails exist in facebook, that there are notifications that show you the interactions with your posts and comments, etc.  The emails and notifications will be visible via drop down at the top of the screen now.

Friends online and chat move to the left sidebar so they are more visible, as do some other updates.

There will no longer be a live feed and news feed. Top News and Recent News will be what the former streams of updates are now called.

We will have to wait and see how users feel about the changes when they are officially rolled out. My guess is there will be people who will complain.

It appears however, that the changes will make engaging with friends easier as these tools become more prominent. That is a good thing!
