What they did was include in the drop-down menu all the parties from different countries. So if you used to show Libertarian in your Facebook profile, you can make it more specific by showing that you are supporting the Libertarian Party of United States.

Also, Facebook added this free text option in typing the political views. So if you don’t wish to inform everybody what party you support, you can say so by typing Undeclared. If you want to be bolder, you can describe your political views in a phrase, or in a sentence. You can type in whatever you believe in like the one below.

Aside from its eye-catching professional look, the new widget has added features that many MyBlogLog members will find valuable, especially to members who are involved in Search Engine Optimization or SEO.

One of the reasons most of us join MyBlogLog is to promote our website as we visit other websites of MyBlogLog members. So if someone is interested with our MyBlogLog photo, he hovers over it, see our username, and click it to see more details about us.

But now, it is better because every time we visit a site, we will now leave more details about us, not just to show this to the owner of the site, but to other visitors as well.

When a visitor hover over our photo, he will not only see our location, the link to add to you to his contacts or to view your profile, but also the site we authored. So when he clicks the link he will see the latest contents of our site in MyBlogLog and might be interested to check our site as well. If you author a number of sites (like the member shown in the photo above), the visitor will see all the links to them and he will just choose a site that interests him.

So update your widgets now.

I just received a request from a Facebook Friend, to join this group of people asking Facebook to implement colored profiles. Their aim is to get 500,000 members that agree to let Facebook users choose the color they want their profiles appear to others. And then they will submit their petition to Facebook.com staff. They have suggested color schemes too and uploaded photos of colored profiles so everybody can see how they would look.

Anyways, on its first week, Feb 22-29, they got around 42,000 people joining their group, and of course they are still inviting. But I certainly don’t agree with this kind of request, although changing the color theme seemed cool because it reflects our personality.

The reason I love browsing profiles in facebook is because of the uniformity of color. When I do this on other social networking sites, like Friendster.com , or Myspace.com the different styles and designs of each profile irritate my eyes. Even if the user has retained the default style, a profile with a different color irritates me.

I really hope Facebook would just maintain its simple and professional look. They can make smoother edges or rounded buttons but just keep the profile’s color the same for everybody. Maybe you can just add the option to change the color of the whole Facebook account? Browsing profiles wouldn’t be that irritating, but at least we still have expressed our personalities every time we log in to our account, just like changing the color of yahoo email address.

When I found this out I was excited to update my widget because I was really bored with the old one. I immediately logged-in to my MyBlogLog account, and was surprised to see limited options for the new widget. There are only 7 colors available: black, blue, brown, green, red, orange and purple. I have chosen black for one of my blogs and blue in another blog, because the blue color blends perfectly with the theme.

Also, I noticed I could see more details about the MyBlogLog members who visited my site when I hovered the cursor over their photos. I could also see their locations and sites authored, and a link to add them to my contacts list, or to view their profiles.

The Top Links however, are not immediately attached to the widget. There is a separate code for it, and still has the old design. Anyways, if you want the old widget, it is still available. Just look for the link on the top of the widgets settings page.

I just saw this video from one of my Facebook friend’s posted items, and I was curious to know what this anthem about. So I clicked the link and was expecting a song praising Facebook and all but it was the other way around…

The ‘anthem’ is about Facebook users getting bored of Facebook. Have fun watching the music video, and it’s really a cool upbeat song. I hate zombies and werewolves too, but I love Facebook.

But this spring, Facebook is going to launch another, yet bigger change to Facebook users. A new structure that will make profile browsing more organized and easier—the tabbed profiles!

In the first screeenshots that Facebook released, profiles were divided into ‘Wall’, ‘About’, and ‘Photos’. The ‘Wall’ is the tab for your Wall posts, mini feed, and other contents. ‘About’ will show your basic and personal info, while ‘Photos’ is an additional tab, which means you can add other tabs to your profile and customize it to your heart’s content.

Facebook is still working on this new structure, so comments and suggestions are still welcomed. So, send all your feedback to profilespreview@facebook.com.

A lot of apps are available on Facebook, whether you are a teenager, in your early 20’s, or even in your 40’s, you can surely find a Facebook App that interests you. Apps on Dating, Just for Fun, Fashion, Business, Travel, Games, Music, Politics, Sports and other categories with hundreds or even thousands of Apps under them.

Most of these Apps are addicting to engage into, that you would want to invite your friends too. But in most cases, those who send invites really don’t care if there friends will add the Apps too or not. What matter to them are the rewards they will receive, like points or money for a game.

But not all invites are about Apps, there are also invites on events, groups, and friend requests.

Thus, if you have a Facebook account with lots of friends, you would surely receive their invites. For others, they receive like 50 invites a day, and even some receive hundreds, depending on the number of friends they have. This could turn out really annoying since they had to click the ignore button one by one. That’s why early this year, Facebook added the Ignore All button. And the Facebook community indeed rejoiced for this new option.

The button is in the sidebar of the requests page, and if you click it, a pop-up window will appear asking you what you want to ignore like Friend requests, Event invitations, Group invitations, and Application requests. Before hitting that button, scan the requests page first and maybe there are some Apps, or requests you would like to accept. If you are sure that you want to ignore the remaining invites then check the category/ies and hit that button.

I am a Facebook user, and really was grateful for this additional feature. But I hope, Facebook would also come up with an ‘Accept all friend requests’ button. I am into networking right now, and confirming friend requests one by one—like 30 requests—can be tiring.
