Facebook adding Games & Apps Dashboard

Posted on Jan 22, 2010 in Facebook, Social Media

Facebook announced yesterday that they will be rolling out two new features: the Games Dashboard and the Applications Dashboard. These features are designed to make it easier for you to interact with your applications. If you interact with games & apps now, you know how difficult it is to navigate back to a game or app.

Below is a preview of what the Games Dashboard could look like (of course it’s subject to change). I really like the recently used games section. For those users who actively play a lot of games, this will make it easier for them to reengage with games they use most often and not have to create several bookmarks. It will also be a great way to learn about games that your friends are playing or that you may have never thought about playing.

Hopefully these dashboards will also help cut down on the amount of information that is populated in the News Feeds. I know some of my friends don’t play games or apps and I’ve got a funny feeling that they get tired of seeing their News Feed full of FarmVille updates, but I could be wrong. ;)
