Facebook

So I come up to my first post on this and it will be about the changes to Facebook that came on 9/20.

A couple of people actually don't like these changes. Some just don't like that it got changed at all. I dislike that attitude. Change is progression. We can't just let stay the same all the time.

As for the change itself. It looks like there are two major changes that took place. First, the updates. This looks a lot more streamlined. You can even organize these so that certain things from people show most of the time, all the time, or even not at all. I can see it being useful for pages of companies. Like say you 'liked' Google, but you don't want to get all the updates they would post on that page. Before you would have to unlike them to stop that. Now you can just exclude them from showing up on the main page.

The next major change is that of lists. To put it simply, Lists = Circles. That's right, Facebook copied Google. A couple of things though. Facebook, like Google+, has preset lists. Except on Facebook, these lists are automatically populated based on your and other peoples profiles. For instance, the city you live in, or a school you went to. There is also precreated lists that you have to add people into, then you can create your own lists. I'm not sure if Google+ has this, but you can view only posts made by people in certain lists. Meaning on your Facebook page, clicking your city list will show only posts of friends that have set their city to the same as yours.

There were also some better organization tools put in, which is nice.

In my opinion nothing seemed bad about the change. Though for anyone that liked email notifications, they're streamlining that into a single email at at time, probably once a day. But that is revertible back to normal in settings somewhere.
