I’m still waiting for the application tab shrink to happen. I build pages for companies and when this goes into effect I will have re designed pages ready. Hopefully this will continue to be pushed back.

I noticed the filter’s aren’t working today. Let me guess, they got rid of those too! IF IT AIN’T BROKE, DON’T FIX IT!

Hi Russo,

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Agreed with your thoughts on Facebook’s changes to stay in the game and I like the idea of calling it an Attitude vs a strategy. At the end of the day, I say why I don’t always personally love the changes Fbook makes, I think they are darn smart and I don’t think they are going anywhere anytime soon.

Thanks,
Callan

I don’t think Facebook is protecting its users from commercial fan pages. The argument contradicts the fact that they want to make profit. Facebook has to serve those who (do/may/will) pay. But it has to build and maintain its medium. If it dies out, then nobody will spend any money on it. So, although Facebook changes a bit too often, I think what they do is just stay in the game (and possibly often lead it). Myspace i dying for two reasons (imho): a) it always was extremely ugly and b) it remained all too boringly the same for a long time. Facebook is the exact opposite. It’s like a rolling stone. One could see it as a strategy; I see it as an attitude. And I like it.

I agree though with you that Facebook is more about entertainment than information. I also agree that Twitter has managed to create and maintain the profile of the main breaking news dispatcher, to such extent that a statement like “if it is not in Twitter, then it is not happening” could be considered as close to truth for a great number of subjects.

I believe that infotainment will revolve around Facebook for a long time. The landscape is unexplored. Social media is just being discovered (despite the long lists of self proclaimed social media experts). We don’t even know if the term is right. I believe in keeping the ball moving and I’m really curious to see where all this will lead the web in the coming years.

Thanks for the write up.

Definitely up for the challenge! Change isn’t easy but if it helps improve the look and feel and the way businesses can interact with fans, then bring it on.

Thanks for the valuable information.
