New Facebook Launched After Six Years: Gets a New Home Page Facelift

February 13, 2010 · Filed Under Facebook News · 1 Comment 

After having been attacked by a vicious Facebook virus or several worms in the past, a new Facebook site redesign must have been one solution the admins have thought of. Of course, the new Facebook home page was an attractive treat to everyone especially those who are new to the social network but, is the new Facebook any good? Here’s my review of the new Facebook.

First, I could say I was one of the unlucky 80 Million Facebook addicts who got the new homepage redesign. I went out for lunch and came back to login to my FarmVille account but lo and behold!

Vicious Facebook Virus on the Loose! Are you a Facebook user? If yes, then beware of the vicious Facebook virus that attacks users relentlessly by disguising itself as an “invitation” to Facebook users to click on links leading to a Youtube-like website. Sounds like the “Invitation Virus“, doesn’t it?

On a personal note, this is expected because even in other social networks like Friendster and Myspace, malicious viruses and spams have been reported to attack unsuspecting users. I’m not just sure if the new social network Ziggs will encounter the same fate at the hands of spammers and malware creators. Maybe in the near future. :-)
