It’s clear Facebook is watching the popular objective of capturing the answer to “What are you doing now” or “What’s on your mind” or how ever you want to say it.  Funny that the most simple of user requested feedback is the backbone to the most popular social tools of the new information age.

Any doubts that Facebook has Twitter in its sights were laid to rest yesterday as the most popular social network announced very Twitter-like changes to its Publish feature. Users now will be able to send messages to “Everyone” and not just their network of subscribed friends. This makes messages visible to Google searches and other Facebook feeds or people who are not subscribed as friends.
