Posted by Marisol Martinez in , , , ,

The social network which has about 400 million people--presented some new surface changes to its home page Thursday night.Facebook began only 6 years ago, founded by Zuckerberg and his roommates. The initial purpose behind Facebook, was to create a service that made sharing and connecting with people easier and more accessible. Facebook has grown significantly adding around 200 million new users last year alone. It is said that if facebook were a country it would be the 3rd largest country behind India and China. For that reason it is no surprise that the networking site has tried to re-vamp its applications and services.Some of the changes that facebook made were minor. The changes included splitting up news feeds into two categories "Top News" and "Most Recent" . The site also tried to make finding friends and new messages accessible through all-in-one hub for online communication. "For example, when you receive a Facebook notification about someone writing on your Wall or tagging you in a photo, you'll see a red bubble appear in the left-hand corner near the search bar," Facebook engineer Jing Chen wrote in a blog post on the site. In conclusion, it will be interesting to see what the 7th year brings in terms of changes to the very popular social networking site.

However, like YouTube the content is free and they bring in revenue through advertising and a revenue split from DVD buy offers. The user is able to embed the films on their own website or blog, which is where the "snag" in the title comes from.
