1. How Facebook Conquered the World

The Facebook Web phenomenon of the last few years continues to gain popularity – to the chagrin of its detractors, who feel its platform is outmoded. But surely over 100 million users worldwide can’t be wrong.

Facebook’s founder Mark Zuckerberg and the rest of his management team want to take the wind out of the skeptics’ sails. And most of all, Facebook has decided it is time to give its members a broader range of features, which involves, among other things, a redesign of the site. So Facebook is set to gradually, yet surely, change.

Changes – Starting Off Small

The site has undergone some profound changes in recent weeks, and the redesign will continue in the coming months. Not only will users see a redesign of the Profile interface and other changes, but the way Facebook works will be revamped as well. Some new invaluable tools will be available at Facebook Developers, which is a special area for developers who are called on to produce more genuinely useful applications, available in as many languages as possible. At the Facebook f8 Conference in July, the latest advances made by the site were introduced. We’ll have occasion to come back to them, in particular in the part of this article on the new Profile interface.
