    • Facebook rolled some new changes:

    New Photo Uploader:

    The new facebook photo uploader is a browser plugin that requires installation and will be rolled out gradually during the next few weeks.

    Facebook promises this will make it easier and faster to upload photos, as the site is now one of the largest photo sharing websites with 2.5 billion photos uploaded each month.

    New Home Page Design:

    Facebook also has a new home page design, labeled as “simplified” and easier to understand design.  As it is the case with every design, some people are frustrated and want the old design back!

    This is a screenshot of the new homepage, but I am sure you have already tried it, if you logged to your account.
