These changes become standard on March 30th but you can get it now!

Facebook added another feature to its desktop chat function: an icon next to a user’s name that provides a link to their timeline when hovered over.

Facebook added an easier way for page administrators to toggle between posting under their actual names or posting as the page.

Facebook announced Wednesday that it is making it easier to change the username of a Facebook page. Before, page administrators would have to submit a request to change the username, but not anymore.

Yesterday, Facebook made a subtle switch to users' contact information: swapping out whatever email address they had listed in favor of a Facebook email account. While reaction has been overwhelmingly negative, the company hasn't exactly backed down, saying that these changes were announced in April.

Instagram, which was recently acquired by Facebook, will start integrating social sharing options into the application. Now, Instagram users can choose to automatically have their photos post to their Facebook timelines.

The events function on Facebook continues to undergo tweaks, with the addition of the ability to export the event to users’ calendars, as well as the addition of a gear menu with additional options.

Facebook users now have (or will soon) the ability to edit their comments at any time, rather than the grace period of a few seconds the social network previously allowed. However, in order to prevent instances of revisionist history (“I never said that!”), Facebook will indicate when comments have been edited, and clicking on the edited link will bring up an edit history.

They cannot be killed. They only come back stronger. Zombies? No: Emoticons, which Facebook added to its chat feature for desktop users.
