Différence entre un logo flemmard et un logo courageux! Facebook redesigns Friend Request emails to be a bit friendlier. Facebook has redesigned the look of its friend request emails. Now when a user sends you a friend request, you may well get one that looks like the one below, with details about how many friends, photos and wall posts a user has, along with the number of groups they’re a member of. There’s also now a link to see all your pending friend requests. All Facebook reported the new design first, and sure enough, fellow TNW-er Brodie just sent me a friend request and there was the new look. It’s not clear if all users now have the new design yet, but it’s good to see Facebook following Twitter in providing a bit more at-a-glance information about the person who wants to link up with you. New Facebook Pages Layout Becomes Mandatory. The opt-in phase has ended — Facebook is beginning to roll out the new pages layout across the site today. Facebook first announced the new layout one month ago, effectively synchronizing the design of pages and profiles.

Unlike what happened when the site upgraded profile layouts, Facebook has communicated more thoroughly about the plans for an initial opt-in phase followed by a mandatory rollout of the new design to all users. It will be interesting to see whether the improved communication helps admins and the larger community accept the changes more readily — especially because this mandatory rollout phase may occur over a couple of weeks rather than all at once. Complaining about redesigns is all too common behavior on the site, but Facebook does heed the gripes and make changes that respond to demand. The most recent example of this was last week’s expansion of the filters for page walls, which responded to admin demands for the ability to show posts chronologically. How To Disable Facebook’s New "Lightbox" Photo Viewer | Better Facebook. Facebook 'Like' Button Takes Over Share Button Functionality.

Say goodbye to the Share button because the Like button is taking over. After months of updates to its Like button, Facebook has released an update that fundamentally changes the button's functionality to that of a Share button. Now after hitting the Like button, a full story with a headline, blurb and thumbnail will be posted to your profile wall.

You'll also be given an option to comment on the story link. Previously, only a link to the story would appear in the recent activity, often going unnoticed by users. Though users may now think twice about hitting the button, given how prominently it will appear on their walls and in their networks' newsfeeds, it should ultimately increase traffic to publishers' websites. Facebook has slowly been rolling out updates to its Like button and has stopped developing the Share Button. Facebook spokeswoman Malorie Lucich told us that while the company will continue to support the Share button, Like is the “recommended solution moving forward.”
