You Need to Know About the New Facebook

It's been a big week for Facebook. After revamping some of the site's core features, the company hosted its developer conference in San Francisco yesterday and dropped some more bombshells. The whole experience on the site is about to change.

Facebook's new features mark a change in strategy. Last year Facebook set out to expand its reach by making some of its most popular features—mainly the Like button and commenting—ubiquitous on the Web. By spreading its Likes and comments to thousands of sites, Facebook further intertwined itself with the rest of our online existence, and its membership ballooned to a monolithic 800 million users.
