Oops, Facebook did it again. It’s a repeated mantra, but this time it seems like Zuckerberg is on to big things. It was a red letter day for the Facebook team as they unveiled development updates at the f8 conference in San Fran. Facebook has officially hit 800 million users. These users continue to become more and more business oriented so it should be interesting to see what Google‘s next move is in an effort to keep up. Here’s your crash course on what will change and be updated in the coming days and weeks:
1. Consider your timeline very similar to a scrapbook. You’ll have a real-time stream of information about you. Everything about you. Since day one. It encourages users to post baby pictures and information about their past. Timeline will eventually become the default profile page. You can customize content to show the most interesting aspects of your life.
2. Say bye to “like.” Say hello to verb-ing any noun you please. Facebook calls it “Gestures,” turning any verb into a button. Share what book you’re reading, what movie you’re watching, what tune you’re jamming to. Oversharing at its finest. I can’t wait.
3. Get ready to spend far more time on Facebook enjoying other forms of media. Thanks to some pretty prime partnerships, you now have the ability to watch shows, listen to songs or peruse the news. Your “Ticker” will keep track of what content your friends are enjoying in a list on the side of your screen.
4. You will no longer how to worry about how your friend’s farms are doing. Their Facebook ones anyway. All application related feed info has been banished to the “Ticker.”
Interactive marketers, get excited. Facebook’s share in the marketing mix continues to grow. Let the games begin as we figure out how to leverage the new changes.

it also says ” you have a friend request” and it s nothing but a meat market hook up crap.
