Zuckerberg was up on stage today, talking about social media giant, Facebook. Here’s all that I really caught from the webcast. [or just what I really cared to listen to]

- In regards to Apps: they’re going to be less annoying!

- There’s a new layout to Facebook. I haven’t heard too much good out of that, but, like Myspace, you can revert back to the old layout.

- Facebook Connect!

Facebook Connect seems to be quite interesting, actually. From what I understand it’s similar to OpenID, giving users the ability to log into a site using one identity instead of creating a new ID for each site you go onto. Facebook Connect is nifty in that it uses your Facebook security settings, so that people who you don’t want to see you, won’t. Also, it means that friends can see some of your activity, say…if you post a comment on your favorite blog [what? you mean this one? aw, how sweet, but there's no WordPress support yet *sadface*] your friends could then see that lovely comment in their News Feed.

Sounds like fun? It sure does! But first, I’m gonna check my Myspace, looks like I still have more friends on there.
