News:

April 23 message, Facebook launched a new feature this week, users can click on the website in the major co-occur "Like" button, and friends to share the content.

Leading technology blog Mashable founder and CEO Pitekashen Moore (Pete Cashmore) today, the author pointed out that, "Like" Facebook will be its tentacles into every corner of the Internet on the user's personal preferences to achieve unprecedented control Canon BP-827 Battery, and it can be introduced to personalized search and advertising.

Users each click "Like" button, Facebook and its partner sites to the interests of users on a better understanding of, and therefore can provide more personalized service.

This feature is very simple but very powerful - will rival Twitter fatal blow. Once the formation of this network effect, it is difficult to imagine that a company can shake the Facebook social networking community in dominance. If you can not effectively deal with Google also could face the risk of being overtaken Lg LSBA06.AEX battery.

Facebook on Twitter: size matters

Twitter can be said to be Facebook's direct competitor, but its growth rate has been less than Facebook, currently only has 100 million users, Facebook has more than 400 million. Social network size is important because the network publishers and developers want their products and services for more people to use, tend to choose the largest social networking site.

For example, if a network publishers need to Twitter's "Retweet" and Facebook's "Like" button to make a choice, considering that most users have a Facebook account, there is no doubt "Like" will be selected Sony VGP-BPS9S battery.

In addition, "Like" more powerful: it can tell the user how many friends have been "like" the same content, a small window, the user will be recommended to the topic of the article. The button will promote the growth of Facebook, to reach out into every corner of the Internet.

Similarly, the site also may be in the "Facebook account to log on through" and "log on through the Twitter account" to choose between, choose the Facebook site will get a higher conversion rate. In each case, the largest Web site is a winner.

Twitter and the development of the rift between

Meanwhile, Twitter developer community with a lot of conflicts there between, and it is these developers through the preparation of a variety of mobile and desktop applications, has promoted the growth of Twitter.

Prior to the acquisition of the popular Twitter iPhone client, and the official launch of the BlackBerry phone application, many developers began to wonder Hp pavilion dv2 battery, Twitter would not order an official application for each platform, kill all the third-party developer? Facebook, by contrast, the "Like" button on the development of new tools such as those brought about endless opportunities. Twitter could start again unless the growth and revive the confidence of developers, Facebook's lead will only increase.

Google on Facebook: Personalized Search

Facebook is gaining provide personalized search results and advertising capabilities, will look to the largest Internet companies Google.

Google dominated the era of the Internet hyperlinks, links to each site are equivalent to one vote, Google through the information to provide the most relevant search results and to build a seemingly insurmountable search engine.

However, the link on the page is no longer relevant decisions of the most abundant resources, on the contrary, it is through sites such as Facebook and Twitter to share links with friends. Now Google pay a fee to the social networking Web site for public updates, but the lack of search results can make a real key to personal data. Google can not control the user's friends, interests lists, Facebook can.

Facebook has built the world's best search engine's potential, according to the user's friends and interested in providing search results. "Like" button on the launch means that Facebook will further control the user's personal preferences.

Facebook: the world's best ad network?

Most of the revenue from Google ads, these ads are usually content with the user's search or browse the content of the page. Google also personalize these ads, but its interest for the user's understanding of friends and of course, not as in Facebook. Facebook on the network by thousands of "Like" button to collect large amounts of data, to form a GoogleAdSense rival ad networks.

Google's social troubles

If Google wants to keep its search and advertising leader, it must improve its social network.

GoogleBuzz that Google recently introduced a social product, but it was a privacy advocacy organizations criticized, they pointed out that records the user's communication may be open to use Buzz. Although the Google of the flaw was fixed, but Buzz still not developed greatly. Google other social projects - OpenSocial and Friend Connect are currently no known, few people know of their existence.

If Google wants to deal with the threat of Facebook, on the need to create new ways to discover a user's interests and social relationships laptop battery. Google has been in the development of social applications not performing well, catch up with the most simple way is to buy Twitter.

Facebook may not be sure of success

While the future of Facebook in the competition for leadership in the way big advantage, but it is far from foregone conclusion. Twitter will introduce the "Notes" (annotations) function to add the message in Twitter additional information. Now Google also hold plenty of cash, you can make any purchase.

In addition, Facebook's user base where there are fragile: they may turn to other sites overnight embrace, making Facebook and Friendster MySpace repeat the mistake.

Fortune: Facebookstarted confrontation with Google

Google VS Facebook:

Facebook can beat Google? Facebook will soon launch a series of new features, it is the competitive situation with Google is increasingly apparent. These new features will be April 21 of the Developers Conference which introduced the concept and is based on the relationship between people re-organizational networks, rather than the page, this is for search and advertising and have a significant impact Hp ProBook 4510s battery.

Just a simple page in the network, when Google is the search leader, to provide users with the most useful page. Currently, Google is still the best search engines, and will continuously improve the user's search algorithm. Recently, I and a colleague were in the Google search supermodel Haidikelin (Heidi Klum), I got the first three results are text links, and he received the picture. We screenshots show it Google chief economist Hal Fan Ruian (Hal Varian) to see, he nodded knowingly. Hall said that Google has been providing personalized search results to better efforts, and this is the effort.

As networks become increasingly dynamic, Google reveals inadequate.

As the micro-Bo and the emergence of social networking sites, anyone can post a message, get real time results. Therefore, the social networking sites to generate a large amount of data. The data is difficult to be indexed, but also provides real-time results is almost impossible. In addition, the network has been everywhere - BlackBerry, iPad, notebooks. Obviously, we need to better organize information. When I search Haidikelin, I would like to know is a friend of her evaluation, which read the article about her, and she is just being addressed in a nearby bookstore.

Strive to expand their social network Facebook

With the introduction of these new features, Facebook to extend their influence beyond the site. It is expected, Facebook CEO Makezhake Berg (Mark Zuckerberg) will be announced in the keynote speech hp ProBook 4515s battery, "like" button. Using this feature, users will be able to mark any content on the network as "like", but Facebook will be able to collect data on user preferences.

In addition, Facebook may also launched a toolbar, so Web publishers can place it in the bottom of the page hp ProBook 4710s battery. Using this toolbar, users can not leave the current site for social networking activities. A blog said, Facebook is testing a developer tool that allows any website to add a Facebook page.

With the Facebook site launched more than functions, their strategies are more and more like Google's early strategy. Like the "Times" reported, a search Google first choice for those sites will be followed by other sites into the search box, and then followed by the advertising system into other sites.

Google can meet the challenge?

So far, Google's use of information on social networking sites was not successful. Although the agreement between Google and Twitter, Twitter in the search results display the content, but not sure how to improve the traditional search experience. This year in February, Google launched the Buzz, so Gmail users to share updates and comments, but the feature to "friends list" in the form of a user's address book open, it has been criticized. Google adopted different strategies and Facebook, it is not used the software into the user's site, but construction of new sand table to attract customers. But now appears that people do not like to take toys to play in this sandbox. Instead, Facebook to integrate with other services, to include the entire Internet in their own sandbox.

For Facebook's share functionality, the present occupation is most in need of the user's inbox, because this is the most common users. Facebook's messaging system is too bulky, difficult to organize. Although Buzz is not accepted by users, but Gmail still has a large number of users, so Google can rethink how to use the social network level, thus improving the search results.
