Fred Stutzman tells us that Facebook has announced a series of changes to their controversial news feeds product. Here are the two major modifications. The coolest is the mixer-style slider controls which adjusts the frequency of different types of stories delivered news feeds.

Over the weekend I spent some time playing around with Match and Yahoo’s search functions. Based on my experience they both seems to offer just about the same search experience, which is much better than say two years ago but still could use some refinement in the form of AJAX-style search tools. Something like the Facebook sliders would be perfect for searching massive amounts of profiles.

Watching people appear and disappear as you refine your search is a lot of fun, to boot and I bet it would help people create better search criteria. Who edits their saved search after they initially create it?
