Facebook Displaying Unread Messages from Pages in a New Updates Module

Facebook is displaying a new “Updates” sidebar module which shows some users unread messages sent to them by Pages. Users will see the Updates module in the right sidebar while viewing their own profile and other sections of the site. They can choose to view an update, mark it as read, or ‘x’ it to reveal another update. These updates are usually filtered into the Other folder of the inbox of the new Messages product.

The Updates module and counters will help prevent users from missing important Messages that Facebook had hidden in attempt to reduce noise in the primary inbox.
