New Feature on Facebook: Ticker, Let You See the Highlights of Friends Activities

Although it seems there is no press release from facebook about the new features displayed on the front page of my facebook, but I dare to conclude this is a new feature. In the name the "Ticker", a new side bar provides information about the latest activities of our friends are doing. Like what your friends like, where and what your friends or comment on the latest status of your friends will appear in the side bar called "ticker" by facebook. When you scroll down, then the ticker will continue to follow so you can focus on what your friends are doing today.

No further information I get, even official facebook account has not issued a statement. But as a little leak, when you point your cursor to the "Ticker", then there will be additional information which the activity is located.

And the following screenshot of the results that I get:

Although this change does not affect the overall features faceook so, but I think this is one thing that facebook erikan to ease its users to communicate with each other.


[UPDATED 1:39AM (GMT +7) Monday, August 29, 2011]

since few minutes ago, I lost this feature. There was no clear explanation but suddenly this ticker feature disappeared from my facebook account. Indeed, I miss this feature on another day, (I wrote this post during the hours of last Sunday, August 28, 20 011 da miss this feature at about 1:20 am Monday, August 29, 2011). I think this is because Facebook is still testing this feature and yet it official for the public even in beta.

So, just wait until the facebook issue a press release through his official account.
