Facebook CHANGES! And oh yeah Google+ made some too.

This morning my Facebook news feed was saturated with negative statuses about the new Facebook layout, as with the past 20 layout changes. Once I got back from work, which always leaves me satisfied, I checked out the new Facebook layout. There isn't enough change to make everyone whimper as they did. Just one major difference, the real time updates above the friend list, which may be annoying at times but most people will think it's useful. It may just hurt the people that take pride in commenting/liking posts, seconds after they have been made.




Facebook have also added the Subscribe feature. Which is a good move since Google+ did it and it was pretty successful. Oh yeah, some company named Twitter did it before Google and it's become sort of a hit. But personally I don't go to Twitter to find update on friends and I don't go to Facebook to see updates on people I don't personally know. Maybe Facebook wants to alter this but I want to keep it separate.

I dislike that the fact everything I put in my interests/favorites are automatically in the news feed though. Shouldn't I have to subscribe to them? Good thing my man, Mark, made it easy to stop it. ONE BY ONE! Are you joking?! It should be a list with toggle boxes. COME ON!

Google has made some major improvements to Google+. One is that you can now Google+ Hangout on the phone now, which is great! They have also added a broadcast feature, which will used more for more popular people. I don't see me using this very often. They have also added messenger which used to be "Huddle" which is a IM client that can do groups and images.

I have liked Google+ since it came out because of the Hangout feature (10 person video chat). It's awesome because you can catch up with your friends as a group. They have to improve how a user sees a hangout currently in progress. Google should make a tab of live hangouts that friends are in.

It may take some time to get used to the changes like everything else that changes. But people will continue to use Facebook as they did before (Stalking). Changes will continue to infuriate.

All this social network talk probably has you want to visit all of them. You can just click on the icons on the right side column. It just happens to link to all my social networking pages...
