Nudge, nudge! Facebook wants to be your homepage

Filed under: Internet, Social Software, web 2.0

It seems Facebook is now asking to be your homepage. If you 'use Facebook regularly', a new dialog box will appear, asking you in no uncertain terms to PUSH ME. I have a nagging feeling that you'll be seeing this box even if you don't use Facebook regularly however...

I'm surprised it took Facebook this long to implement such measures! A quick Google search shows it used to offer the set-homepage feature for a brief period in 2008, but since then it's been quiet. With Facebook's recent shift towards becoming all personal and chummy and OMNIPRESENT, it does seem apt that its now doing the digital equivalent of leaving its toothbrush in your bathroom. It'll be asking for a drawer soon... and then some hangers in your wardrobe...

Incidentally, do people even use homepages any more? Using Chrome the button doesn't even seem to do anything!
