Ever messed up on posting a status and had to delete it moments later? Well now you don't have to worry about deleting it because Facebook will be letting users edit their content. This is great news to people who post something with a spelling error or to those who want to change a photo caption. While it doesn't change you're overall experience on Facebook it will be a nice added feature that people have been waiting for for quite awhile.
This will also be a nice feature when dealing with YouTube links that have been removed from YouTube for one reason or another. This is a common occurrence when dealing with music videos because of copyright laws. Now if a video has been taken down you can look for another workable link to post in its place.
Something I found quite interesting about this new update is that they still seem to be denying users of the urned for "dislike" button. I'm not sure about the reasoning behind such a decision because many users would be very happy to see it come into existence. One idea I have about why it has yet to be made is that Facebook wants to keep its site an overall positive experience and including a "dislike" button would encourage users to bully online by not being happy for people.
Something I find very interesting about the way that Facebook unveils its updates is that they don’t just let everyone enjoy them upon their release. They release them to small sample groups at a time and monitor its effectiveness before releasing it to another extended group. App Developers are the first to view all the new updates and then they get released to another subset of their users.
Facebook obviously knows what they are doing because almost everything that Facebook has sunk their teeth into has worked out for them. One idea I have about why this seems to happen is because users are forced to continue to use their site even if they hate the new updates because it is the only way to stay in contact with many of their friends. Facebook has weaseled their way into the lives of almost everyone on the planet and that has made them an indispensable product that will continue to flourish even with the constant updates that people complain about.
