How is Facebook changing?
Old version:
Home, profile, friends, and inbox are on the left side of the bar
New Version:
Drop-down menus for friends, messages, and notifications appear on the bar.
The search box moves to the center
A news counter helps users keep tabs on their interactive applications
Users won’t miss their turn in games
Rumor has it:
According to a blog Friday on www.techcrunch.com, Facebook will be changing its messaging to a webmail service, a change referred to as Project Titan.
It would allow users to have an account through Facebook and would be linked to other e-mail providers.
Student response:
“The way most of my friends get a hold of me anyway is through Facebook, so if it adds modifications that make e-mail communication easier, that would be great,” Cortney Graham, a sophomore from McPherson said.
More than 55 million Facebook statuses change every day, and lately many students are using them to vent frustrations about new changes to the familiar site.
“I haven’t seen a single status praising it,” said Amir Jhuremalani, a sophomore from Roslyn, N.Y. “I hate it based on the fact that I’m happy with the way it is. But as always, we’ll get use to it, and then they’ll change it again.”
Facebook started rolling out its new navigation bar starting Thursday, but the changes haven’t reached all 400 million users.
