1.Timeline Search
Facebook's Graph Search does an OK job of resurfacing some information. For example, photos of you and Mike, nearby restaurants, and friends who live in San Francisco. But it doesn't help you in situations where a friend asks you to send her that link you shared a couple months ago. You could scroll through your posts month by month, but that's time consuming. Instead, a keyword search of your profile -- and your friends' profiles -- would be ideal in helping you find content from weeks, months, or years ago
2. News feed filters
Facebook's proposed news feed design was on point with its execution of filters. The buttons, found on the right side of your feed,
let you filter posts by photos, music, pages you follow, games, group news, all friends, and more. While there are ways you can filter content in your news feed, you must set up lists first. While Facebook struggles with how best to show users the right content, here's another idea: Let us choose. Filters may not show us the content we want, but they could filter out content we don't want, such as the omnipresent baby and food
3. A read later button
Given the volume of content in the news feed, no one has time to check out all links to articles and photo albums immediately. Facebook needs a bookmarking system for such content: Click an icon and Facebook adds it to a "Read Later" section that you can revisit when you have more time.
4. Remain unsearchable
Earlier this year, Facebook removed the setting "Who can look up your Timeline by name?" The setting, however, was a little deceiving: While it prevented your profile from appearing in searches, people could still find you if, for example, a friend tagged you in a photo or commented on one of your posts. Adding a setting that keeps you truly unsearchable would be a win for users who are weary of Facebook's increasingly lax stance on privacy and those who prefer a smaller, more private social circle.
5. Intuitive untagging
Facebook could gain easy bonus points with users if it made some
important actions easier, for example, untagging photos. In Facebook mobile apps, users must navigate a maze of menus to find the untagging feature. On the web-based version, it's not much easier, requiring four steps. A simple button that appears on photos you're tagged in would be a welcome addition.
6. Text formatting
Facebook updates and comments now support emoticons, but users don't yet have the capability to italicize, underline, or bold
7. Interest notifications
You're probably not interested in everything every one of your friends posts, but certain ones may pique your interest: sports posts from a local news station or posts in which your best friends are tagged, for example. With interest notifications, you'd specify a list of keywords, and when posts containing those words or phrases were posted, you'd receive a notification ensuring you don't miss the information that matters most to you.
