Thought I’d update you with a follow up to my last blog post about the changes to Facebook.
French site PC INpact has unearthed some screen grabs of the new layout. They’re not too different from those available over at the developer roadmap, but they do show how photo pages and drop downs will work.
What will it mean for Facebook? Well, there’ll probably be the compulsory whinge period whilst people get used to it, before everyone forgets how it used to be (check out my comment in MediaWeek in 2008 – it’s at the bottom of the page). Then there’ll be the changes that need to happen to apps and pages if they’ve been developed for a 760px wide tab.
Update: These updates will happen in February 2010.
In the mean time, here’s some pics (via PC INpact of course):

It doesn’t seem so long ago that I posted a blog about tweeting being banned in the world of sport. In fact, it wasn’t long ago at all. It was two weeks ago.
Now, two weeks later, yet another sport organisation, the National Football League (American - a trend?), decides tweeting and other social networking will not be allowed before, during or after American football games. This policy applies to players, coaches, league officials and the media attending games. Really? The media too?
Policies like this (while their intent is easily understood) are very difficult, if not impossible, to enforce and generally make people upset.
Social media is taking over – it’s unstoppable! Learn a lesson from these sport organisations and try to use tweeting and social networking to your brand’s advantage rather than fighting against it.
