A new Facebook feature launched today – Hover card. It is new feature and really a needed one.
This is a nice feature, by just moving your mouse over profile name of any Facebbok member you can see this hover card of them.
This is an improvement of what Orkut have already done.
Send Message, Add as friend and See Mutual friends these 3 things can be viewed by the hover card feature.
LinkedIn ‘s hovercards which were used for years paved the way for hovercards used on any blog/site. Twitter’s hovercards also a step in this direction, and it’s no surprise that facebook is following suit.
The usage statistics we’re seeing usage of these hovercards at 1 hover for every 4 pageviews, indicates a wide acceptance of hovercards as a accessability and for contextual browsing experiences. A far cry from the days of intext where advertising ruled the roost. I expect more companies to either partner with companies like Hover.in, Apture, Glue, Zemanta or come up with their own versions of hovercards to boost what the one problem that they solve well. Distribution.

I found it cool. No need to click.
I noticed the hover-card feature in FB after reading your post. But then, I must admit that I am not so much of a big FB user. Still, i found it useful.
i love updates because they always offer cool updates and improves looks and features.
