In the past, some Facebook enthusiasts posted lyrics or YouTube videos of songs they are listening to, now Facebook itself will take care of the posting in real-time, via a "ticker" stream. The changes at Facebook do not end with music sharing. The Guardian reported that Facebook aims to be the "key entertainment destination on the web." Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is also expected to make changes on the globally popular "Like" button, allowing apps developers to create their own version such as "Want,"...
"Desire" or "Need."
The world’s most popular social network is set to roll out some major changes to its user’s profile pages, a report suggests. But what sort of changes? Is everything going to be moved around? Are you going to be confused and is your privacy at risk? According to Mashable, Facebook will unveil a “major redesign” of profile pages at its f8 developer conference on Thursday. What can we expect? Details are scarce, but two sources told the blog that the changes will make profile pages more “sticky” and there is a very good chance that there may be music/media components involved. Lastly, there is word that the new profiles will have an emphasis on “social ecommerce.” Lately, Facebook has been facing growing competition from Google, which has launched the Google+ social network and more recently, Google Wallet (a service to help shoppers make easy everyday transactions with their cellphones). In what appears to be an attempt to make Facebook more like Google+, it launched new ‘Subscribe’ buttons allowing users to follow others without actually being “Friends.”
What do you think about the rumoured changes? What would you like to see different with Facebook?
