Facebook Updates Its Notes Feature

Experimental makeover Facebook notes, functionality that allows you to write long messages formatted nicely, was apparently successful.


Now the social network made its official redesign, Facebook said Friday. The refreshed version of notes is available for everyone.

The company has largely ignored ratings for years; the last major update was in 2010-but built like Facebook more of its publishing functions for the media, it makes sense to encourage its 1.25 billion users to think the social network as a place for their own blog posts as well.

While Notes is still relatively rudimentary, the update brings some much needed customization features to function. Users now have access to a basic set of text formatting tools - such as headers, block quotes and of bulleted and numbered lists -and can add cover images to each note.

You can also bold, underline and italic text via keyboard shortcuts, but there is no integrated buttons available for those features.

Some of these formatting options, and the possibility of integrating photos, were available in previous versions tickets. But the redesign makes much more elegant function. With a new font and visually more attractive layout, Notes now more research as blog posts that day extended status updates.

As we have when Facebook began experimenting with the new look, change Loos also makes Facebook more as a way, the commissioning of blogs created by Twitter co-founder Ev Williams.

You can check for new comments on the website and Facebook applications now. Unfortunately, the creation of the note is limited only to the web version at the moment. Facebook did not say whether this could possibly change.
