We've spent a lot of time on this blog going over what's already been accomplished—what we've changed, launched, re-launched, etc. So we wanted to spend some time talking about what's coming up in the next little while. Here are some of the ideas we'll be toying with and thinking about in the coming year.

1. Networks—The network structure is one of Facebook's defining features, and we won't be taking that away. However, we will be trying to hone in on what makes networks on Facebook similar to those in the "real-world," and how to make them more relevant to each user's experience on the site.

2. Simplicity—There's a lot of stuff on Facebook. A lot of features. A lot of information. In the year to come, we'll be improving on the design of the site, making it easier to use and understand, while still providing all of the functionality and information we know and love.

3. Flexibility—Everyone wants something a little different out of Facebook. Some people post a new photo album daily. Some are importing their blog. Some need to keep in touch with a group of friends that are in ever widening geographic circles. Whatever it is you want to do with Facebook, we want to optimize your experience. We're going to be thinking more about the right ways to give you the controls you need over Facebook information, friends, and products.

So those are our big ideas for 2007. If you have any insight into them, please, let us know. Stay tuned for more feature enhancements and solutions in the coming year.
