Comprehensive POV on the upcoming Facebook changes
July 10th, 2008Article Link, from ContextOptional’s newsletter.
Rundown
- Profile Changes: Lots. Instead of the wall area for apps, they have to use the sidebar. Tabs introduced for use by larger apps.
- Feeds: More flexible. One liners and short descriptions. Apps can ask the user which they want.
- Apps/Sessions: Apps will now require that they be seen before they can be added. Apps will have ‘light’ versions.
- More: Apps can add features to a profile, like ‘Favorite VW’ alongside facebook specific ones.
Very much recommend anyone working with Facebook to read the POV. It goes into detail how this may affect your current apps.
