Facebook has had a big week. The social network finally caught up to MySpace in the U.S., according to ComScore. News leaked of its upcoming Everyone button. And Facebook made some significant improvements to its search capabilities. Now the social network is improving its inbox’s interface, which previously was a little clunky and difficult to organize.
The new design gives you filter options at the top of your inbox to help you identify unread messages as well as to report any spam, or unwanted messages you receive.
Facebook has also ramped up its search feature within the inbox, which was lacking in its earlier version. To find specific messages, you can type a keyword or a friend’s name in the search box in the upper-left corner of the screen, and then the results come back only for messages from that person. Yes, this is pretty basic stuff, but it should make it easier to search your Facebook inbox.
Facebook is keeping some of the same functionality as before. You can still view Updates from the Facebook Pages you are connected with. You can also manage subscriptions to your fan pages by clicking the “Edit Subscriptions” link beneath “Inbox of Updates.” Facebook says it plans to send messages from Groups and Events to Updates as well.
Friendfeed has also updated its email capabilities today, making a few useful improvements its email alerts for new subscribers.
It seems Zucky read my post http://oonwoye....k-i-am-serious/
But I said it all here long ago. FACEBOOK is taking over once they get organised!!
Take note of points I raised and watch FB implement them one by one!
The gmail account that I use for facebook got hacked, and by the ‘Activity Log’ feature of Google, I could figure out the IP address from where my email account was logged in.
The IP was 204.15.23.171
I do not know how to figure out which browser is this. Is there any software that can figure out whose machine is this where my account was opened and emails were tampered?
if a facebook message is among more than 2 people it is same as goog wave. fb messaging allows to attach photo, video, polls and other media.
If fb message is between 3 or more users it is same as goog wave. fb messaging allows to attach media content like photos, videos polls etc.
fb inbox still lacks feature to separate messages from friends or from non-friends.
Facebook will be the main inbox of the future.
Mine is still the same, boring design.
It seems Facebook is just eating everyone.
Thank goodness. Facebook Inbox has practically become my mail client lately!
Is there a problem with facebook tonight?
Twitter: take note of what i like to call “innovation”
We have had Facebook Inbox search for quite a while:

Finally I don’t have to read one message at a time to find what I’m looking for.
The greatest benefit of Facebook is that it has many groups on the site that you can join. So if you are interested in Chicago Cubs you can research Chicago Cubs in the groups section and you will be able to find friends on there that like the Cubs. This is just one example, I know that you can join groups of your favorite football team, television show, or whatever you want for the most part! If you can’t find a group for your interest, you can simply create one!

So when is facebook going to launch email like Myspace? I would definitely use it.
The new Facebook inbox is crap, they got rid of key functionality including age numbers, so getting to older messages is now impossible, and the most important select ‘unread’ !!!!!!
Also the new layout is terrible making it much harder to quickly glance over.
