In an effort to play catchup with MySpace, the student-oriented social media site Facebook has released a new feature called notes. Notes brings blogging functionality to Facebook in the most simplistic form of the word. No special features other than friend tagging were added, although you have the ability to import posts from your personal blog.
Notes was released a week after badges made its debut, allowing Facebook addicts to create badges of their picture with info like their school name and upcoming events on their agenda, for their websites. Trey Copeland has more details of the new Facebook addition.
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.
I used the Scribe WordPress plugin and service to optimize this blog post for SEO.

One step closer to the $2 billion sale.
I sorta like the new feature, but isn’t it a move towards MySpace-ness? Perhaps a better approach to “Notes” would have been social note taking for classes and subsequent sharing of published notes. That would rock my socks, as a college student.
i was wondering if its possible to get back a note that because of internet problems????
Thx
