The recent change to the Facebook layout has divided opinion amongst users – and a recent poll taken on the social site has shown that around 70,000 users like the new design, whilst a whopping 1 million+ dont’t like it at all.

We here at GizmoStyle have managed to find a few plugins that will get your Facebook looking like the old layout – it won’t look completely like the old layout but it does get rid of the rounded edge profile pics ( it replaces them with the usual square edged pics ), and makes your home page have 2 columns.

All you gotta do is install these scripts in Firefox:

Two-column Facebook frontpage

UnF**k Facebook

It’s worth adding that the Greasemonkey addon is required for this to work.

Facebook today announced that they plan to help companies target their adverts based on what its users and friends in their network do on the internet. This move by Facebook will allow Web companies to increase their ad revenues, as the ads displayed will be relevant to the user on that page.

Along with this, Facebook will allow companies to build profile pages akin to those which millions of users use and maintain daily.

Further increasing company integration is a ‘Beacon’ which is what companies can embed on their outside sites. If eBay embeds this on their sites, a Facebook user who lists an item for auction can then get a Facebook alert sent to his/her friends enabling them to check the listing when they login.

“People influence people,” Zuckerberg said. “Nothing influences a person more than a recommendation from a trusted friend.”

In between lectures, as every other student does, I had to check my Facebook. So I quickly typed in the domain name but by accident misspelled Facebook in my rush. In realising my mistake, my thoughts were that I would be redirected to Facebook as the majority of popular websites cater for the spelling errors of their users. But no. I wasn’t even redirected to a parked domain webpage. I was redirected to the homepage of GoDaddy – that’s the homepage, not a page saying the domain name is availiable. I didn’t know what to think and set out to see what other misspelled Facebook domains would yield. The most notable one was www.faebook.com which resulted in the homepage of Amazon.com – Yes, Amazon.

So what does this lead me to say? I’m not to sure myself but it is surprising that Facebook has not registered the common mis-spells of their name. And for Amazon and GoDaddy to own the commonly mispelled domains makes me think that Facebook has missed a trick here.
