New Logo of Facebook - changed or repaired?
Have you ever noticed the logo of Facebook? Well all imagine that there is a blue colored icon in which the letter "F" appears in small letter. True. But there is one more thing that you may not have noticed in the logo that is the pale blue color line that appears as underline. That is gone now in the recently changed logo for Facebook.
 |
| Difference in old and new Facebook logo |
Look at the image above. You will get the difference now. The left image displays the old logo and the right one is the latest one. What changes the developers have made in the designing of new logo is that the blue color line below the "f" is removed. Also the letter "f" is made to touch below the edge of the icon.
But if we think , what is the reason behind changing the icon? Do you have any idea? Please share. May be just a new look!!!
There is a saying everywhere, that , "Facebook goes flat".

Use of Hashtag (#) - now by Facebook too
The latest news as per the sources, states that the Social media giant, Facebook, will now follow the footsteps of another Social media giant, Twitter. As the Twitter uses, hashtag, i.e, the use of "#" symbol before any word , which can be used as keyword for the specific article or news regarding that keyword.
Internet today is all based on keywords. If you want your article or your post or your website to get noticed, then it has to be keyword specific. Keywords play an important role in the internet surfing or searching.
For example, in Twitter, any user may post a tweet regarding the "global warming". And if before that word, the hashtag is used, then it becomes a keyword specific, like #globalwarming. If anyone across the globe is searching for any website or article or news about global warming, then he may include the # symbol before the word. And the results are in front of him.
Now in the same manner, Facebook is also planning to adopt the use of hashtag , that will help users to organise comments and posts by topic.
Still this is in the testing mode. But this particular hashtag will be in use shortly.
So, now be ready to use of hashtags in Facebook too.
