Facebook Notes is one of those little add-ons that most users will use at some point in their experience. For the most part however, the experience has pretty lame in terms of having flexibility with formatting.

Of course, those days are slowing going away.

Last week, Facebook wrote on their blog about some enhancements to notes.

In case you missed it (from the Facebook blog post):

  • Format notes more easily with a familiar text editor. Stop looking up HTML for common formatting like bold, italics, bulleted and numbered lists, or indented quotes. Instead just click the formatting icons as you write a note.
  • Tag that special non-profit you believe in or that musician you're raving about in a note. We've added tagging of Facebook Pages—such as celebrities, interests and activities. As with tags of friends, tags of Pages will appear in a box on the note's page. When viewing Notes from a Facebook Page, you can browse notes in which that Page has been tagged by one of your friends or by people who shared their note with "everyone."
  • Find more relevant notes through a cleaner layout. A common left-hand menu includes links to your note, notes about yourself, your drafts and easy ways to find notes about friends and Pages.


What do you think of the enhancements? How do yo use the notes feature on Facebook?
