Friday afternoon, I was finally blessed with all the new updates. I have heard and seen very few positive reactions to the new new-facebook. I haven't had a chance to toy with it much, but I did notice where you can segment who is in your news feed. I heard about the ability to post pics & video on your status in some other articles; have not seen that implemented yet. I think people are confused and frustrated with how facebook changed things up again. Not everyone is social media savvy; it takes time to adjust to changes that are supposed to benefit the user. I plan on writing a followup blog in a week or so reviewing all the changes and acclimating myself to the new new-facebook. Hey Paul!

The first thing that I noticed was descriptions of photo groups were more visible on the home page (were they even visible before? I don't know). I didn't notice that you could add pictures and videos to your statuses. I really like that! Good stuff Jason. My first 10 second impression was good and I didn’t know why.

I was able to sell my mini-fridge to a mankato kid for near what I paid for it 6 years prior. I've also tried selling Vikings tickets; that did not go so well. Most of what is on the marketplace are rental properties, school books, and other miscellaneous items. It would be nice to have the facebook marketplace be spam free; craigslist is getting out of control. Facebook has had the notice about the changes that are coming; when will they be implemented? I'm glad you're on board! I had an experience right after graduating with the marketplace as it is today. I was able to sell my mini-fridge to a mankato kid for near what I paid for it 6 years prior.

I thought the friends’ feed (a.k.a. the stalker feed) was a bad idea but I soon embraced it months later as I don’t have time to click around everyone’s profiles to see what’s going on with them. It’s nice to see that all on the one page and it’s the first page you see. Change is hard for many of us, even if we don't realize the benefits of those changes until later. This time I'm with you on saying that the changes will be good. I especially like how Facebook is expanding it's marketplace to be more like Craig's List. I trust buying items from friends or friends of friends more than strangers. It will be interesting to see if that actually takes off or not.
