Facebook Updates Notes With New Appearance To Take On LinkedIn And Medium
Facebook changes a blogging tool's appearance to make it convenient and user-friendly.
Facebook is testing a blogger-friendly update. Facebook news exclaimed that the Californian enterprise is experimenting with a design feature in “Notes” that not only improves its looks but also makes it convenient for users. The new tool would allow the networking users to publish larger pieces of writing than they might be able to post through the organization’s status updating feature.
With space for a huge picture at the top and a much tidy design, the new edition looks similar to the blog-posting network pioneered by Twitter’s ex-CEO, Evan Williams. Facebook news today disclosed that some have attributed the user experience of Notes to the fact that it has recently recruited the founders of Teehan & Lax, the company that contributed to the development of Medium’s most appeasing tools, including large format and use of larger pictures.
One could say that the Note’s new version is introduced to publish all types of content on Facebook’s platform. Blogging began as an open-for-all field, which could be done through the development of a website with applications, such as Blogger or Wordpress. However, in the previous few years, many individual bloggers have ceased writing in favor of using social platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook.
Facebook breaking news stated that the latest tool features nearly full-width pictures without disarranged sidebars. The social media giant has stated that it is testing a feature on “Notes” to make it simpler for people to publish and read longer version of stories on its platform.
The organization has introduced a similar update in the past, called Instant Articles, which is the venture it recently launched with a number of Western publications, including New York Times and Guardian. The idea is that writers would post their stories directly to the company’s platform rather than just a URL, and in return, would benefit from a wider reach and an advertising revenue share.
It is still unclear that whether the new edition could make Notes appealing. Market professionals have shared their perspective regarding the latest addition that it would not only attract publishers and readers towards the platform of the enterprise, but also improve its reputation in the modern digital world. It is most likely that the new development would threaten the interests of its rivals.
Facebook’s officials should now speed up the testing of the aforementioned update and launch it effectively to grasp the attention of ample readers and publishers. The company is currently regarded as the king of social media, which makes it a center of attention.
