Facebook Messages get a new look

While you were busy updating your status, uploading that pic from last week parties and commenting and liking and you know the drill........while you were busy facebooking, Facebook silently upgraded the way you share messages on Facebook 

Facebook announced on 22nd August 2012, that they've improved the messaging features and overhauled the look. I just received the upgrade and hence sharing the info.

Here's how the new layout will look like.


My observations on the new features & layout:

• Looks very much like MS-Outlook, isn't it?
• You can now see thumbnails of pictures in a better fashion than before. 
• The typebox is more or less how it was before. 
• The recent messages list in the left is what I liked best. I don't have to go back a step to change the message window. 
• You can now know, if the person you've messaged has seen it or not. It will also give you the exact time the message was viewed. A privacy threat? Nah...
• If you wish to learn more about Facebook Messages and care to improve them click here. 
• I am happy with the new layout, expecting Facebook to keep surprising me time and again.
