Facebook celebrated it’s 6th birthday in style…by launching a redesign of the home page. I was excited to be included in the initial 80 million accounts that were updated with the design on February 4th. This new layout is being rolled out to the remaining Facebook users now (Reggie’s still waiting).
I have to say I’ve been a bit annoyed with some of the recent minor changes made by Facebook, but when it comes to this new overhaul…I’m a fan! Most notably, are the cleaner home page appearance and the removal of the bottom “start” bar. The search bar is now prominently displayed in the top center of the home page, just above the News Feed. And the top blue navigation bar has been simplified to include just a few key quick launch links on the left and right sides.
Now just in case you are a tad turned around by this new layout, I put together a quick list of 10 tips for getting reacquainted with the network you know and love!

Listropolis' Take:

This is rock-solid information if you're still having trouble navigating Facebook's new layout. Bookmark it fast, and make sure you read it soon - otherwise, Facebook is sure to switch layouts on you again. Good job Nicole!

Do you want to set the mood for Valentine's Day by watching the new romantic comedy, Elevator Girl, on Saturday night? Or maybe you'd rather spend Sunday learning about the opposite sex on a new TLC special called Sextistics or watching dinosaur booty calls on Discovery's new special, Tyrannosaurus Sex. On Monday, do you just want to sit on the couch, relax and watch a marathon of NCIS, Pawn Stars, or The Secret Life of the American Teenager? If so, then this list is for you.

You can watch 101 TV Series & Movie Marathons and Specials during the long weekend for Valentine's Day and President's Day.

Listropolis' Take:

We LOVE TVTango, and this list is one of the many reasons why. Take a minute to look through this list, and you're bound to find something you'd like to see. Us? We're watching the Golden Girls marathon! (not really)

In the era of social media, our networks are much larger than they have ever been, and we have more ways to communicate with those in them. Even if you are not very active on Facebook or Twitter, my guess is that your sphere of communication has expanded significantly in recent years. Who you communicate with and how you communicate has changed radically. This new connected era brings both opportunities and challenges.

In the past we had a set of contacts, all of whom generally knew how to reach us — via phone, e-mail, or regular mail. Today, thanks in large part to social media, we have many different levels of communication, each with a specific purpose and etiquette. When we do not understand the role of these levels, they can become huge time wasters. When we do understand them however, they can help us more effectively engage and navigate these new waters

Listropolis' Take:

It's Mashable, so you know you're getting a solid list. This list has less to do with the social media side of things we've come to know, and more to do with real-life communication tips. Study it - it could help.

How do you make sure that you get all of your work done on time?
As freelancers, we wear many different hats. In addition to performing our freelancing specialty for the client, we’re also the sales staff, the manager, the support team, and the accountant all rolled into one person.
For many freelancers the project planning tasks that go along with freelancing may seem kind of overwhelming (especially if they’ve never done any project planning). Other freelancers may find that they need to provide the same kind of project plans to their clients that would have been required of them in the corporate world.
Either way, project planning can be a lot of extra work for a freelancer. The project planning task is difficult to handle without good tools to work with.
In this post, I list some project management tools that are either freeware or open source.

Listropolis' Take:

I was a little surprised none of the 37signals apps made it into the list, but if you're looking for a project management solution on the cheap, this is a great list.

Here are some illusions that will make your head spin. All of these are JPG images, they are not flash or any video. On most of these if you stare at different spots, you will notice that the movement stops. If you put your mouse on one spot that seems to move, you will be able to see that it is not moving at all.

Listropolis' Take:

Nothing new here, but that doesn't take away from the cool factor.
