Facebook Exposed Its New Features

"Mistakes do happen but some of them are good" . About 14 hours ago, Facebook faced a downtime and by mistake,  number of internal prototype features were made live for about 45 minutes. Later, features like Lightbox UI for photos, new Pages, Memories option, experimental Outside World features, and the Submit button were removed from the facebook . Amongst many lucky ones who got the access, Mashable got hold of a few screenshots of upcoming Facebook feature prototypes.

After facing downtime, websites apologise. But this time, as a few internal prototype features were exposed during the Facebook downtime, Facebook amicably admitted that " some internal prototypes were accidentally exposed to people externally" through its official Twitter and Facebook account.

This is year-wise a timeline that shows all your status updates, photos, friends, Likes and Events. It's like a walk down the memory lane from the time you joined the social network.

Outside World Filter:

Twitter user @Casschin spotted and posted a screenshot the News Feed filter dubbed Outside World for filtering news feed. It appears to be an option to add RSS feeds of some external web service and it was figured long back that Outside World remained to be an Facebook's Staff-only feature.

Lightbox UI for Photos:
Since Facebook has become like a dump-ground for pics, several users love to browse through the photos or pics they uploaded, got tagged and even friends photos. This is a nifty update enabled using right and left arrow keys to move forward and back between photos. With Lightbox UI, when you click on the photo, it will become the center of your attention and everything in the background will go black. This is something similar to what Flickr has recently adopted.

Submit Button Elopes:
An experimental update might be rolled out to remove the Submit button below any text box on Facebook. Tell you honestly, that will puzzle millions. 

These are the features that were spotted by several users who managed to get through them when Facebook made them live accidentally. Of course now you are aware of what's in store for you in coming few months.
