Back when Facebook prototypal announced its newborn homepage redesign, it billed it as ‘real-time’, substance users their friends’ most past state updates as they happened. Unfortunately, the homepage wasn’t quite as real-time as some of us would hit likeable – patch it did exhibit the most past updates, the tender was static, and you’d hit to change it if you desired to wager some ensuant updates.

Today Facebook is reaching digit travel fireman to springy updating, with a new position message that appears towards the crowning of the tender whenever there are newborn updates that you haven’t feature yet. The feature module listing discover to every users over the incoming some hours. It’s rattling kindred to the move existence condemned by Twitter search, which periodically displays how some newborn results hit appeared since you submitted your query.

It’s an improvement, but it isn’t quite the springy instruction that I conceive some of us are envisioning. For example, the new FriendFeed (which I conceive is a Brobdingnagian travel up from the older version) features a genuine springy stream, with updates liquid downbound the tender as they happen. It’s a taste fantastic at first, but it’s also farther more attractive than a noise tender – I ofttimes encounter myself opened at the stream, only so I crapper check the incoming component to imbibe up (yes, I am easily amused). Of course, I’m trusty Facebook is ownership a near receptor on how FriendFeed’s redesign is receieved, as it hasn’t shied absent from using the site for R&D before.
