New Face for Facebook

Miak — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 09:17:09 +0000

It’s not set in stone yet but Facebook will sport a new look soon! The profiles will be revamped with personal information being ported to different tabs. Most notably, your profile image will now be on the right side instead of the left section!

What a big change from their usual design. One plus point from this revamp is that your multitude of Facebook applications will be hidden from view in case you detest them cluttering up your layout.

This may not be a welcome move for developers of these apps but if the users are happy about it, I say Facebook have done a good job pleasing their target audience!

Once Computers go connected to the internet, it was realized that now something was needed that allow people to fetch and browse the information that was put on the connected computers. A software was needed and this lead to the creation of Web Browsers. Browsing literally means to search something on a computer. Fast and effective browsing, lead to the creation of new browsers, which are very efficient.

The Top 3 Web Browsers are:
Internet Explorer:
Internet Explorer is the most common browsers among users and has a market share of almost 75%. It was one of the first browsing softwares created by Microsoft and has undergone several improvements. Presently, Microsoft is offering IE version 7. However IE8 beta 1 is also released and IE8 Beta2 is expected in August 2008.

Firefox:
Firefox is the brand of Mozilla and is the only browser that is nearly comparable with IE. It has the ability to browse faster than IE and still maintain a tight security. With many plugins and addons to customize Firefox, it is the best browser in the world! I would highly recommend everyone to give Firefox a try

Opera:
Opera’s tagline goes as “Your web everywhere”. Opera has the advantage that it can run on many platforms i.e. Windows, Linux, Mac OS to mobile phones. Opera is the 2nd most popular web browser. One of the best invention that they have made is Opera Mobile. Opera Mobile works on any phone with Java and I highly recommend everyone to install Opera Mobile into your mobile phones.
