Is Status the most important tool in Social Networking today?
Many, if not all of you, have seen the changes made by Facebook Friday morning/afternoon. Remember when the old Facebook changed to the new and many users were up-in-arms about it? Well, Facebook has gone and done it again. This time, though, there isn't a whole lot that has actually been changed.
When you click on Home, you will be faced with a page full of feeds (status updates) in the center. These feeds are divided up by the Networks you belong to. For example, I have two Networks: Chicago and Where I've Been. I can see feeds from both, separately, or together. Very cool and very convenient and also very... Twitter.*
In a recent article, Hasn't It Always Been About Status? by Fred Wilson, Wilson states:
"I believe Facebook's recognition of status as the most important and most powerful social gesture seals the deal. Status is where it's at in social networking. This is very good for Twitter and its also very good for the other social nets who recognize this and move quickly to provide status updating features and open them up to the social web."
... and he's right. Status IS where it's at in social networking.
So, what do you think about Facebook's updated layout? Do you think it's beneficial to Facebook and its user numbers?

*Let's talk about Twitter for a minute. Facebook hasn't exactly stolen their idea. Statuses have been around for quite some time, and Twitter is still an incredibly powerful tool on its own and throughout Facebook. (See Twitter applicaton.) They both go together like two peas in a pod... and I will continue to use them both equally.

It's more organized, as you can view updates, links, photos, and videos separately....but I kind of liked seeing everything. Even though it has only been a few days, I forget to look at the links and videos, which before I viewed regularly. What does everyone else think??
JRay,
I can totally see what you are saying. I forget sometimes to view the links and videos, too! But overall, I think the change is doing wonders for FB.

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic Viagra is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
I love your blog. So much useful information. Thank you very very much.
