Wow. Facebook just made some adjustments to their layout and people are “tweeting” about it like crazy! Who would’ve thought? Well, Mark Zuckerberg, for one. Facebook really seems to know what they are doing. But, did this really help their site? Sure, Facebook is doing great right now and they have quite the member database, but I’m watching for updates and it’s not as appealing as Twitter. So, I’ve been going back and forth with various different professional friends that enjoy the Interactive World as much as I do, and they too agree that the jury is still out on the new Facebook page. I really hope it helps the site out, but if not, I hope they learn that it’s better to invent new things rather than copying off of someone else.

This is my opinion on the new Facebook page so far, and please remember that it’s JUST an opinion. I like the look of it but I see where they are going but I think they’ve missed the mark. The updates look Twitter-like…but they aren’t. If you want to see the updates, you have to refresh your screen. Where Twitter will scroll down, with Facebook you need to refresh. I have faith that Facebook will indeed work this out, but in the meantime, I will continue to Tweet. Also wondering, is there a way to see what everyone is saying on Facebook like you are on Twitter?

Stay tuned for new developments with Facebook. You have to love the interactive world. It keeps you on your toes!

Facebook recently rewrote their terms of service. The new terms of service suggested that “Facebook would retain personal data even if someone deleted their account,” according to the BBC News.  Since this announcement, many users have been wondering if they should keep or delete their account. Mark Zuckerberg, creator of the online social website Facebook, defends his position for the changes by saying the records would be used to show how people were using the site.

With his defense in mind, I would say that he is on the right tract as it could be a safety measure. I’m saying this as I’m thinking of school shootings and myspace accounts that were investigated. But, that is really the only reason I could see those kind of measures needing to be taken. Regardless, I’m not saying whether I necessarily agree or disagree with Mark Zuckerberg.

One thing is for sure, I have faith that Mark Zuckerberg is going to get everything back on track. I feel secure in saying this after reading on TechCrunch: Zuckerberg On Who Owns User Data on Facebook: It’s Complicated. That article seemed to really shed some light on the changes that are being made. He has already made a huge step in gaining back people’s loyalty. He’s listened to what the people have said in regards to the changes and he has reverted back tothe previous terms of service per the voice of the people. I think he will have the new and improved ToS’s up in no time and they will reflect both the changes he feels need to be made and what Facebook users want.
