Facebook Overview

Quotes from Facebook Mobile Event "First thing is single sign-on. Making it so that you have the Facebook app and you're signed in, and once you do that you don't have the hassle with any other app on the phone.“ "I think the real revolution happens when you add new data to the draft. This happened to Facebook in 2007, but we're beyond the desktop now -- we're in the mobile world now. Mobile doesn't have to be a shadow of the desktop -- especially with location.“ "You can take any product area and rethink it to be social, and have it grow virally, and remake whole industries."

Facebook Group Benefits Notifications are a huge deal. Groups now have advanced options on how they receive notifications. This option will drive more return visits to the group as they receive notifications on post comments and ‘likes’. Group chat is an option students have been waiting for. It’s dead simple to use and will be another reason group members keep engaged and return to the Group page. All members of a group can use group chat, regardless of whether they are ‘friends’. Only ‘friends’ can contact each other through individual chat messages. Docs allow administrators an easy way to post deadlines, FAQ’s, and general updates to the group. Docs can be viewed and edited by any member of the group, allowing for a wiki-like experience. Events can now easily be created and promoted within a Group. I spent hours last year creating events in the Old Groups (since I was the admin) but now this task is handled by any group member. Feature Boxes on the right column of a Groups page give easy access to Group events and docs.
