NEW NEW NEW NEW &+ NEW!!!

Mark Zuckerberg is always updating Facebook. He is very smart in doing this because people are obsessed with the new. Zuckerberg know's how to keep previous users attached and pull in new users.

Statuses:
Within the last couple years the status box has changed from “Username is…” to “What’s on your mind?” Zuckerberg realized that people kind of drifted away from continuing the sentence using "Username is..." People had too much on their mind that they wanted to talk about. When he realized that change was working effectively, he added the tag feature, where you can tag other friends profile link in your status, and he made it possible to add pictures, videos and links, making the communication better.

Comments:
When Facebook was first created, a user couldn't post more than 500 characters. Mark Zuckerberg realized that comments started to have more meaning behind what users tried to squeeze in the box. Users who had long and thorough thoughts, had to post several separate comments. He solved this problem by taking away the amount of characters you can write. There was also times where users wrote short and blunt messages. They felt too lazy to write sentences or complete thoughts on simple statuses. He solved this by adding the button “like” feature, which allowed you to like a picture, status, or comment.
He also added the new enter button feature. Instead of clicking the "post" comment button, you can now press enter on your keyboard when you are done typing. Zuckerberg also decreased the amount of time one would waste waiting to see new comments. Instead of constantly refreshing notifications, comments automatically pop up within seconds.

Applications:
Then, people started to post less comments and statuses, and spend less time on Facebook. Zuckerberg then made it possible for other businesses to add applications and games. Now there are millions of things to do on Facebook. This not only helps Facebook expand and constantly be used, but it helps businesses expand and make more money.


The creation of new applications, games and other features causes Facebook to never get old.
Just how Parker from The Facebook Effect said, we go into a “trance” and “just keep clicking and clicking and clicking form profile to profile, viewing the data.” All the new features and updates make it possible for users to do more things within the hours they spend on Facebook.
