Wall post – what the heck?

When you first join facebook its kind of bewildering at first you dont know where to go or what to do and one of the first things you see is something called a wall.

This space is where people leave open public comments on your profile such as “Hey man good to see you on here we should hook up sometime” as welll as photos you have uploaded, recent activity and even photos you have been tagged in by others.

You then have a series of options if any of these events occur on your wall.
If someone writes on your wall you can click the ‘wall to wall‘ link which allows you to send the reply back to their wall without actually visiting their wall this is all achieved through some very clever ajax coding on facebook we will talk more about that later.

You can also have a super wall but we dont really see too much of that now with the recent facebook updatesso we wont go into detail about that.

The wall is considered the core of facebook although in recent times since the surge of twitter, facebook as steeered more towards the home landing page as the core which acts very similar to a wall in the sense that it shows activity but all your friends activity and not yours.

We think that facebook became scared of twitters impact and thus changed it’s design and layout to that of twiiters functionality however facebook still remains the best social networking site on the internet due to its vast features and memberships base.
