The complaints have been heard. The people at Facebook rolled out a new and improved
app that\'92ll have users \'93liking,\'94 scrolling... and typing out hourly status
updates faster than before. But how much faster? Here\'92s {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.wtnh.com/"}}{\fldrslt
\cf3 \ul \ulc3 WTNH}}.\uc0\u8232 \u8232 \b \'93It\'92s up to twice as fast and we
really focused on three things: How long it takes to open the app, how fast it is to scroll
[something I don\'92t understand] and how fast it is to open a photo.\'94
\b0 \uc0\u8232 \u8232 Another new feature is the Facebook timeline format for iPad users...
as evidenced by this photo on {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://itunes.apple.com/app/facebook/id284882215"}}{\fldrslt
\cf3 \ul \ulc3 iTunes}}.\uc0\u8232 \u8232 While most iPhone and iPad users rejoice,
Facebook\'92s employees are getting a raw deal and for a specific purpose. {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK

\u8232 \b \'93[Facebook\'92s] employees... are increasingly
getting nudged, cajoled, and even ordered to give up their iPhones for Android devices...
Facebook management realizes its Android app is subpar\'97and believes that the only way
employees will take fixing it seriously is if they have to deal with its issues day in,
day out... It's a practice called \'91dogfooding,\'92 from the phrase \'91eating your own dog food.\'92\'94
\b0 \uc0\u8232 \u8232 But don\'92t fret, Android users. Facebook left a little something for
you, too.\u8232 \u8232 {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/23/3262775/facebook-android-new-photo-upload-event"}}{\fldrslt
\cf3 \ul \ulc3 The Verge}} reports Facebook added \'93[a] new uploader [that] lets you
grab multiple images to upload at once before captioning and tagging them,\'94 and the ability
to \'93create events complete with location and attendee information from your Android
device\'94 \'97 something iOS users don\'92t have.}
