Facebook – helpful?

Facebook - helpful?

Usually Facebook is one of the more unhelpful sites I use regularly – a confusing mess of undercooked noodles that I pry apart to find the thing I want. I love that I don’t get any spam in my Facebook inbox and I used it a lot for email with friends.

I’m helping a high school friend plan her wedding at San Francisco City Hall in a couple weeks (she’s flying in from Florida! Yay!) and we’ve been planning via Facebook messages. I was looking for the Facebook message where she said what she and her bride-to-be are going to wear.

Click, back button, click, back button, scroll, back button, and so on. Then I noticed that Facebook had planted a helpful yellow message at the top of my Inbox after a few back/forths – I’ve never seen the search box for messages before – cool!
