Facebook has apparently pushed out some much needed changes to the company’s questions product. Most significant is the addition of a new button which enables you to return back to the home area of questions, something that I’m not sure why it was missing for so long. Facebook has also redesigned the look of tags (not surprisingly more like Quora), and a cleaner overall look of the page. While the product is still in Beta, many have been wondering why there were so many bugs to start with.
Fortunately these changes make the application much more usable. Whether or not this will help increase the overall engagement of the product is unknown, however it’s definitely great to see that improvements have been made. Interestingly enough, I haven’t been able to access the questions product all morning. My guess though is that this is a result of the ongoing downtime issues that are plaguing Facebook.
We’re looking forward to future upgrades of the product. Are you able to access Facebook Questions yet?
