    Facebook is adding several new features these days, but the latest existing one to get a re-do is Messages. The messaging program that works from within Facebook's "walls" has seemed a bit old-school with its mundane look and utility, just a list of messages showing essentially the sender's name, photo and the last date you and the sender messaged. The social network said Wednesday that Message's new look, as well as "improved" features, should make Messages more appealing to users:

    You can also now search Messages using a sender's name "or keyword from the main messages view. And for easier navigation, we’ve added keyboard commands. To see the full list of available shortcuts, type Alt Q on a PC or Control Q on a Mac," Facebook said in its announcement.
