Facebook's new look

Beginning this week, Facebook's new home page for personal profiles will let users easily filter content. Other changes that were made include letting public figures and companies such as CNN quickly blast information to users. Previously, those groups haven’t been able to send out information with Facebook’s news-feed feature, which people typically use to keep tabs on their friends. Now, they can take their interactions with people to the next level. It's a welcome development for politicians and candidates in the 2010 polls who would wish to reach out to more voters and supporters. Yup, in many ways Facebook is the poster child of the future of communications.
