Response to Discussion Question Posted on 3/24

What new features and functionality would you want to see in Facebook and why? How could these new features help Facebook earn revenue?

Wow, this one is difficult. It feels as if Facebook has done everything already. It seems as if they have something for every aspect of our lives. But, as I think more about it, maybe Facebook can improve on their chat feature. I say this because usually it's pretty sketchy. It lags and sometimes people don't get the messages. But, beyond improving it, they can add to it. Perhaps they can allow for chat rooms, voice calls, or video calls. I don't know if anyone would actually be willing to pay for these features, but I guess some people might just for the convenience of having everything on one platform. It could be considered premium material. They can be on Facebook and chat through text, voice, or video without having to switch tabs and go to let's say their Gmail account.

I would also like for there to be a way to sort through my past comments and status updates. However, this would just be for me to satisfy my own curiosity. I don't think Facebook would really benefit from this. It gets old having to scroll down over and over again to see past activity on your page.
