Back in July, I wrote a post — 5 Things Facebook Could Do Better. 7 months came and went, and while I can’t (or don’t want) to list all the tweaks, kabobs and whoo ha changes they’ve made to their platform in that time, I CAN say that my list of 5 things is slowly checking off boxes.

1. Allow user to dictate what “Top News” is. RESOLVED!

The top news feed should be a culmination of anything relevant to YOU, the user. This is what shows up automatically when you open Facebook on your iPhone, and any other time that “Most Recent” isn’t selected. Users should be able to pick and choose who/what they want to show up in this feed. Right now its a bunch of random stuff that typically happened about 13 hours ago.

So right now, if you go to your news feed, you can click on “Most Recent” and find an option to customize. Pretty cool. See screenshot.

2. Consolidate and Organize things you’ve “liked” elsewhere. UNRESOLVED

You know how you can go on CNN.com and ‘like’ stuff? Well nothing really happens after you’ve given it the thumbs up, aside from it showing up on your news feed. Facebook should implement some kind of bookmarking system that compiles and makes all the things you’ve liked easily and readily accessible just in case you want to pull it up again in the future.

Seriously though, Facebook would be a lot more valuable to me if I could use it as a bookmarking tool.

3. Allow moderators to comment on Pages as themselves. RESOLVED x’s 10!

If you run a Facebook page, you can only comment on things on that page as the page. Make sense? Example: I have a page for my band “Sexy Bitches”. If someone leaves a comment on my band page, I can’t respond as Almitra, I must respond as “Sexy Bitches”. This gets annoying and you should have the option to switch between yourself and the band.

As I’m assuming you already know from all the other things people are posting on your tweetdeck, you can now login as a page. BUT. Did you know that you’re not required to act as your page when you’re interacting with your page? So back to my issue with “Allowing moderators to post comments on Pages as themselves”; check out these screenshots, it’ll help your brain get bigger.

4. Inviting people to events and the inability to “select all”. UNRESOLVED

If you create an event, you have to select the people you want to invite one-by-one. Another nuisance, and while it seems that this functionality is available intermittently, I just checked and it doesn’t work for me. Let me know if you experience otherwise.

5. No “Reply”, just “Reply All”. UNRESOLVED

If you receive a Facebook message that is addressed to multiple people, the only option for responding is to reply all. This sucks. Change it, Facebook.

Feel free to comment below to point out additional gripes. Thanks.

WHATEVER. SO 2 OUT OF 3940850384 ARE FIXED. THAT’S AWESOME.
