One of the biggest complaints I hear about Facebook is the fact that it’s always changing. Well to paraphrase Bob Dylan, The Times They are a Changin’…AGAIN.
Yep you read that right. Facebook is about to change once again.
That’s all about to change. Facebook developers have sent out invitations to reporters for an unveiling at their Menlo Park, CA headquarters on March 7.
We don’t know what the new look will entail, Facebook hasn’t been giving any hints. But there are some guesses we can make. More and more, Facebook like other social networks, is being accessed through mobile devices. And if you’re like most of us, you’ve noticed that there are quite a few features unavailable on the mobile version.
So now let’s play a little Facebook Fantasy. If you could make any changes you wish to Facebook, what would you do? Is there something you’d add? Something you’d take away? Let’s see how close we can get to what actually happens.
And to put you in the mood for change, I've included a YouTube clip of Bob Dylan singing The Times They are a Changin’.

Hey Edie! Facebook changes way too often for my taste, but that's life, right? If I could change anything about Facebook, I'd make the most recent things come up on the newsfeed. They try, but it's not perfect by any means.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a blessed week, Edie! By the way, I really enjoyed the post. You're right. It's so much fun to speculate!

Andrea, there's a setting on FB to change your timeline from Top News to Latest News. The Latest posts things on your timeline in order. To reset this, look at the top of your timeline and you'll see the word, SORT. Click on it and choose whichever option you want. BUT, when you leave FB and return again, you'll have to rechoose because FB defaults to Top News every time.
DeleteI hope this helps! Blessings, E
I'm getting old! I barely learn something new before needing to adapt to the next change. LOL
ReplyDeleteI would love to go back to the single column look. I get confused and distracted easily. Less ads would be nice, too. Although that probably won't happen. :-)
Barb, I agree, less ads would be nice. But I'm almost certain that isn't going to happen! Thanks for stopping by, Blessings, E
DeleteI'm soooo with you, Barb! Every time I begin to get a handle on things, they change it. Ugh.
DeleteEdie, thanks for this post! I'm with Vonda and Barb, each time I get the hang of facebook, they change something! If I could change anything, I'd love to see it go back to the way it was when I first started with it a few years ago. Love you, precious friend!
ReplyDeleteAhh yes, but all this change is good for keeping our brains active! Think about it -- maybe all the change will stave off Alzheimers. We may as well embrace it because we're sure to see a LOT of it as technology continues to advance.
ReplyDeleteOne older FB change that I love (and hope goes away) is the ability to assign your friends to a personal list. I rarely pull up my newsfeed any more!
I hate when my fingers are faster than my brain cells -- "A change I hope NEVER goes away"
DeleteOh no just when I thought I knew how to do it okay. I don't need anymore change. Learning Platform; learning podcasting; learning twitter and hootesuite; learning Pinterest. YIKES.
ReplyDeleteToo funny,

Janis, you're right, it is overwhelming! But just remember, we don't have to become EXPERTS at anything except what God calls us to do. For most of us here, that's writing. The rest is just a means to an end. Thanks so much for stopping by, Blessings, E
DeleteChange is good. It keeps us on our toes. Seriously, nothing we can do about it except hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteAshley, that's a great attitude! And it's one we all need to strive for. Thanks so much for sharing and helping us keep our perspective, Blessings, E
