You can also put your notes on your home page (along with your last.fm doohickey, for those of you who use it). These are among the features I'm referring to when I say I like some aspects of the new format. The last one didn't allow either of those things on the main page...and has everyone forgotten that *that* Facebook was the "new" Facebook only about six months ago? - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.wordpress.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 22:36:19 -0400 From: lep Subject: Re: in my new role as Facebook advisor... 2fs says: > ...and has everyone forgotten that > *that* Facebook was the "new" Facebook only about six months ago? i'm starting to think that "new" is the new "old". xo - -- "people with opinions just go around bothering one another." -- the buddha ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 22:39:39 -0500 From: 2fs Subject: Re: in my new role as Facebook advisor...
