New Facebook Features

UPDATE: The updates (for me any way) have now seemed to disappeared. This happened one time before when several updates where pushed at once and then returned back to normal (with the no buttoned comments and photo viewer), However I have seen no other publicity from this. I keep regularly checking the official Facebook fanpage but nothing has come to light so far. Once again let us know if you have seen any other news about this. Thanks!


Have you seen that new bar on the top right? Logging into Facebook this morning showed the new real time updates from all of our friends on Facebook, as well as the real-time updates.

Facebook seems to have added some other nice little features, which really are making Facebook that much more enjoyable and easier to be more social, such as the birthdays feature. Clicking on each individual name to write happy birthday, hope you've had a good day, etc. was a pain if you had a lot of birthdays on the same day. Now you click on everyone's birthday and you can write on everyone's wall from the same page.

They have also changed the top navigational bar. There's now no border around the edge; it's the same blue throughout and the numbers where it shows how many notifications, messages and friend/family requests have been moved down, so there is more space (personally I prefer the older version).

What do you think? Are the real-time updates a stalker's paradise? Does it make you want to have Facebook open more often and to see what exactly your friends are doing without having to click on each individual page? Let us know in the comments.
