Facebook Privacy Settings Update http://www.inman.com/news/2011/09/1/facebook-updates-privacy-settings-photo-displays New Facebook Features

1. Group Chat: Now Facebook users can use chat to instantly message more than just one other

Facebook friend at a time. Within the current chat feature, they simply click "Add friends to chat" to

enable group chatting capabilities.

2. New Chat Design: The new chat design will take into account a user's browser size by adjusting

to that size, and it will automatically show the sidebar if the display is large enough. The design also

introduces a much more organized contacts sidebar sorted by friends a user historically chats with

the most, offering an improved user experience.

3. Video Calling: Already launched to millions of users, the most impressive of these three new

features enables users to video call and chat with their friends directly within the Facebook website.

Users must install the feature to access it, which is offered in partnership with Skype, but if a user

calls a friend who has not yet downloaded it, he/she can easily and quickly install it on the spot and

accept the video call. Within Facebook, users can launch video calling through the chat feature, and

with just two clicks, they're connected!

Shortmail

http://shortmail.com/

As the name implies, Shortmail is email – only shorter. We’ve applied the idea of length-

limitation to email. All Shortmail messages must be less than 500 characters. We know that

people are becoming more accustomed to length-limited communications: Twitter and SMS

messaging demonstrate that. http://blog.shortmail.com/2011/03/why-shortmail/
