Facebook debuts restructured news feeds

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

(CNET) — Facebook members will start to see a new look for their home page “news feeds” on Friday, with the design now featuring a toggle view between a main view, featuring the top stories from their friends list based on their Facebooking habits, and a “live feed” featuring real-time updates from the whole network.

“When the user wakes up in the morning, you go to Facebook and you see [the] news feed,” product manager Peter Deng told CNET News. “You see the stuff that you missed, the best of the previous day, to basically catch you up on what your friends have been up to.”

This is sort of bringing Facebook’s design back to an earlier version. This spring, likely inspired by the hype surrounding Twitter’s “stream,” Facebook converted its home page news feed into a feed of live updates and relegated “highlights” to a small column on the right side of the page. Plenty of members absolutely hated it, even though Facebook execs have since said that the redesign didn’t result in a drop in traffic or usage.

Deng said that the design released Friday, which will be rolling out to the social network’s massive user base over the course of the day starting at 1 p.m. ET, was put together by “responding to a lot of feedback along the way.”

Birthday and event alerts are now more prominent, and the news feed also contains stories that stopped appearing when Facebook launched the stream-inspired home page: relationship status news, photos added and tagged, and the like. Brands’ fan pages will be worked in there, too, but Deng said Facebook does not allow them to pay for higher placement or prominence. User controls will stay the same: you can opt to see fewer updates from a given person or fan page.

The upcoming redesign was leaked earlier this week via a document distributed to advertisers. But Deng said that the company has “made a few user interface tweaks since then.”

Introducing Facebook Connect for Mobile Web

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

Over the last three years, there has been unprecedented innovation in the mobile industry, made evident by a surge of new devices and applications. As engagement with this technology grows, developers are empowered with the opportunity to create compelling experiences that transcend platforms and enable users to engage with applications wherever they are. Last March, we announced Facebook Connect for iPhone, to make it possible for iPhone developers to integrate the power of Facebook with their apps. Today, we are bringing the power of Facebook Connect to every mobile developer with Facebook Connect for Mobile Web.

Facebook Connect for Mobile Web makes mobile sites or applications on any platform more social, and will provide developers with social distribution. Users can now publish Feed stories from their phones to Facebook, and those actions will be instantly distributed to their friends through News Feed. Facebook Connect for Mobile Web has the same rich features you find on Facebook Connect websites and iPhone apps, including:

  • Making API calls so your application can access user data and integrate users’ identities
  • Publishing directly to the Facebook Stream
  • Prompting users for additional permissions

For example, using just a few lines of code, Qik integrated Facebook Connect for Mobile Web with their Symbian client for Nokia smartphones, making it easy for users to connect to Qik and share with their friends from their phones.

We’ll continue to work with the industry to ensure that mobile developers have access to our powerful set of tools and APIs, with which they can enable users to access Facebook wherever they are.
