I’m not quite sure that Facebook is going to approve of this but I decided to post it anyways. Browsing through my news feed this weekend I stumbled across the following video which was created by Joe Hewitt at Facebook. I couldn’t resist embedding it below. The new Facebook iPhone application has a really slick way of tagging photos within the application.

This version of the video only shows the photo tagging capabilities in the new version of the application but there will be additional features. As Facebook posted earlier this month, there will be an increase in the number of messages displayed in a user’s inbox. Before, users were limited to how many messages they could view.

One other feature that I’m looking forward to is location-based services. There is no sign that location-based services will be used in the upcoming release of the Facebook for iPhone application but at f8, a number of Facebook employees alluded to this feature eventually being added. This version looks great though!

Last week following the f8 keynote Mark Zuckerberg, Ben Ling and Chamath Palihapitiya sat down to talk with members of the press. My internet access has been slow since then so I didn’t have the chance to upload the video I shot of the event. Below you will find a video of most of the questions asked at the press event. Enjoy!

Just saw this funny video of an older generation on Facebook. I wonder if this is how it will be years from now.

Here’s an interesting video that someone sent me last night. While it’s not as viral as Facebook in real life, it’s definitely a well produced video. Check it out below!

Scott Beale pointed out a pretty entertaining Facebook video. It’s definitely worth the two minutes spent watching it. Check it out below:

After posting the last video I ended up browsing around Current.com for a while and found a number of other interesting videos. I found another one which tells the story of Oscar, a Colombian who created a group on Facebook that turned into a massive protest against the Farc. It’s happening worldwide but this video helps express the significance of what’s taking place. Check it out below!

The community outreach manager from Current TV contacted me today with an awesome program about application development on Facebook. The video follows around the developer of the carpoolers application. It’s a really high quality video and I thought it had some great content. Check out the video below and let me know what you think:

So apparently I am completely clueless with these new privacy settings. I’m guessing a number of other people are screwing it up as well. as such, Teresa Valdez Klein over at Web Community Forum has posted a video tutorial explaining how to update the new settings. Take a look below, hopefully this helps you get things going.

For those of you that are fans of the Vimeo player, you’ll be happy to know that they are almost done with a new Facebook application. Here’s a video highlighting some of the new features. You can also check out their roadmap page for more screenshots.

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to attend the Facebook developer garage in Austin. At the event Zuckerberg had a Q & A with a number of the developers that were present as well as a few other people. It went much smoother than the interview from the previous day and Zuckerberg actually joked about that at the onset. The video shows that Zuckerberg has become much more comfortable with public appearances. Take a look:
