Facebook wanted to give out free Phone: Buffy

A year and a half history of Facebook Phone (formerly known as Slayer) gets clearer outlines. Facebook had plans for its development and production to give up, so the "Buffy" would eventually produce the HTC and the market could come in April next year. Not free, but will guarantee even greater invasion of your privacy.

The foreign media this week raises a number of new rumors about Facebook Phone and how they relate to the history of this device, as expected on the market. Business Insider on Facebook Wanted To Give Away The Facebook Phone For Free writes about the original plans Facebook. Facebook Phone originally was to be free to design and produce and have it on their own with Facebook. Users would give him free without having to sign any contract and business model to be advertising. The BI Facebook but ultimately the cost came to 700 USD per unit and the lack of resources for something like the original plans thwarted. Plans for the phone without any contract finally hit the reluctance of operators.

According to ‘AllThingsD’ Facebook Phone will see in April next year (The Facebook Phone: It's Finally Real and Its Name Is Buffy ) and the manufacturer HTC - the phone uses the codename Buffy (the model, the Representative of the television series about vampire slayer and other vermin). The basis of the modified Android with Facebook integrated into all services. Press Room Facebook to the existence of a Facebook Phone still rather vaguely expressed:

Our mobile strategy is simple: We think every mobile device even better if it is social deeply. We're working across the Entire mobile industry, with Operators, Hardware Manufacturers, OS providers, application developers and bring this powerful social experiences that more people around the world.

The idea of their own mobile devices since Facebook is not nearly so crazy as it might seem. About 800 million users there are 350 million mobile and must add that these are active users. Facebook applications are among the most downloaded and used on all mobile platforms, and as much effort to integrate this application with a mobile operating system is obvious. In addition, Facebook might feel threatened by integrating Twitter into iOS5, though not yet say whether this activity Apple had any great effect.

Own mobile phone with a much broader integration of Facebook into the operating system, for Facebook, however, was mainly an opportunity to expand even more "real time" sharing - that is what he said at the last F8. New Facebook Timeline (still not included for legal problems with the name) and extension Open Graph options to automatically receive a share in the mobile phone a new dimension. If these latest activities by contacting the interested Facebook users know about their fully all (and preferably also automatically shared and processed), receives a Facebook Phone attempt a new dimension.

If Facebook uses a classic tactic is to launch something very controversial in terms of privacy, we can expect from Facebook Phone another invasion of privacy. Each your step can be monitored using GPS, and Facebook will safely know whenever you find a Facebook near the Place (Places). Likewise, be aware of every Web site you visit a Web browser on a mobile phone. Gets even more detailed access to your contacts and also how often and what you are writing an e-mail on your mobile phone. 

For e-mail but it does not stop there, of course, integration with mobile phone will also have access to SMS users, including the possibility of further extending the functionality of Messages on Facebook - will finally be integrated into Facebook and SMS in many cases even SMS bypass - why send SMS to someone who Facebook has a phone, when it will be possible to create the same thing about what Apple is trying to Messages. Mobile phones are also more and more changes in the electronic wallet and payment tool and offer the possibility of further integration with Facebook Credits.

Phone Facebook should offer long-awaited platform for new applications on Facebook, based on HTML 5, the possibility of obtaining control of the other possible platform for applications on the mobile phone can be on Facebook, finally, one of the very interesting possibilities. Marketplace of applications is ultimately one of the key elements of Apple's success - including the clear possibility of another source of income. As the proportion of sales for applications, such as payments associated with their issues and use.

What will Facebook look like Phone? Sources close to the project talks about the interface to Facebook Facebook Phone will look very close to that already can be seen on Apple iOS - on the iPhone and the iPad. HTC was one long innovators in mobile phones, even a rocket of success in recent years has recently been faced with problems. For next year itself speaks about the HTC plans to bring the phone with Facebook integration and a certain "experience" can be found at the end in the form of HTC ChaCha and Salsa. 

Source Facebook Phone is also interesting and dates back about a year and a half back. According to AllThingsD ( The Facebook Phone: The "Slayer" That Was not ) allocated to Facebook 'Facebook Phone' a separate team, which placed outside the company and access to the premises was restricted to people involved in the project. Finally, but just happen to one of the issues of confidentiality and separation from normality and style of the company would raise tensions and animosity. The original codename for this project was "Social Layer" and after some time has been shortened to the "Slayer" - and hence the codename for the latest. "Buffy" is not as "violent" and not give rise to negative emotions.

Google Introduced the Plus Company Profile Pages

When Google introduced its + company profile, it started to fill out the huge needs of its users who wanted to write on its pages for their organizations. This let us see then how pages started to sprout like mushrooms; the growth reminded us of mushroom-filled fields after a shower. Now, the question is: who is there to collect them?


Such an exodus of the Internet, at least one, have long experienced. Hardly Google+ said residents and made available for the function of creating company profiles, or sites to which they can present organization, jumped on it just in the CR hundreds of presenters to expand its corporate presence into this social network. I admit I am too. Now undoubtedly it is another long line of those who will speak about G+ as a necessity for any company and have a page here declared the trend of all trends (that facebook already did a little dry). What this will be the question.


The fact is that Google+ corporate sites feature quite noticeably missing. While Facebook is the practice of presentation of companies, organizations, and even necessary to political entities in the form specified profile people probably already outdated and minority issues, the G+ is until now was the only - and very uncomfortable - possible. This bill does not distinguish between companies and users of the substance of things that Google+ & Twitter derives originally from. From this perspective it is clearly filling the pages of the introduction of demand.
On the other hand, however, I believe that the stampede of companies towards Google+ and massive launch sites are at least not yet fulfilled the expectations of their creators. Google+ is a system that has used mainly technical enthusiasts, fans and geeks than "ordinary people". It is a place for "early adopter" and extending somewhat complicated by the fact that for the average user is complicated and time consuming to stay more than one social network at the same time.


The advent of sites on the G+ can be an argument to come here also they were "ordinary people", or can support their way here. On the other hand, in the short term, I think that is the creation of presentation here is new territory to stand rather than finding effective ways to the customer, because he simply lacks. It is of course questionable whether companies and organizations (You can Share and +1 this example of a G+ page:  "HR Management System"), which succumbed to the mania sites, over time, established that it is costly / unnecessary / difficult is to maintain and as a result of them not make their virtual zombies. Time will tell.

Nokia Would like to Discard WP7 Phones

For several weeks, the experts on this and other servers compete in the condemned are still the largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world for a series of bad management decisions. Nokia do not use personally, but I would like to defend it here.


What is Written to the dear audience, I suppose, well known, bet on Nokia Windows Phone 7 from Microsoft. Yes, the system that nobody uses, wants, no interest, it is not an application is user unfriendly and "tile" GUI seems at least as a blunder.Unfortunately, the Finnish manufacturer has no WP 7 phone imagined and has to happen sometime in late October 2011. So far, only spewing except "friggin 'phone devices with Symbian incarnations technically backward, which had technically fall behind - after all, also because of their poor managerial decisions. The idea that Nokia, as though still huge, but declining mobile phone manufacturer shall "supertelefony" with WP7, which nobody wants, in this light may seem far-fetched - and so many experts and fraudulent "analysts" foreshadow the end of the Finnish mobile dream, even the markets no longer believe ...But I do not think so. WP7 is indeed an exotic operating system, but its exoticism is great work that has few users and it is in many ways misunderstood. His basic philosophy of control is not understood by current users of Symbian, Android or iOS, because it is not copied, but it is new. Distribution system to the application it is, however, much closer to Apple's philosophy than anything else and is in stark contrast with the tradition of Microsoft. All this makes him a kind hybrid. WP7 Ale is also very sophisticated mobile operating system, with a huge tradition and foundations in previous versions of Windows Mobile. The manufacturer has vast experience in this area, and Nokia has again - as one of the commentators correctly pointed out - a great tradition of sophisticated engineered products that are not sexy, but they work.

The combination of both is unpredictable. It can equally uninteresting vyplodit product with lots of features, but without a soul, a brilliant synergistic blockbuster, which gives the cold Finnish hardware to warm the soul, and do so in a form that is immediately acceptable to both individuals and corporate customers. Depending on how Nokia giving the time, and skepticism by critics begin to increasingly think that is more likely the latter. In any case, I would still discard Nokia shares.
                                                                                                                             

Google Does Not Pay Taxes?

The IRS, then the U.S. - and the comparison of our armed - version of the Tax Office, is perhaps currently investigating. The thing is that the user may not be interested, but we would be interested because of its  significant implications.



How it looks - or, as the server of Businessweek believes U.S. IRS currently audits management tax optimization and this audit is more than a mere formality or routine. Wonder? I do not.   Google, like many other technology companies in the U.S. (such as Apple's beloved!), offshore portion of their revenues abroad to avoid having to pay for them quite a high corporate tax in the U.S. And although using a fairly complicated system optimization as well as those of income (for example, nicely named "Dutch sandwich" and the taxes paid abroad are significantly smaller than the ones at home, definitely not a bed of roses. Money abroad can not move into U.S., which means that they can not freely dispose of, or is to invest at home, and does not give shareholders the dividend. While they are on the whole, but in the trap. And now it also seems that the Obama administration (which would be one of the said money got love) went into a slight offensive, whose first step is that the tax optimization shines so, to speak.


What in the worst case might mean for Google and get great unexpected expenses and possibly criminal prosecution is, I believe, from the perspective of the U.S. government actually test and the threat of one. If you end up being able to Google "milked" can look forward to something similar to another company. If you fail, you may search titan is likely to start preparing for the foreseeable future for the next round. Perhaps more intense.

The event may have implications for users and potentially to us. Not in the capitalization of Google, but in a number of accompanying phenomena associated with it. As much as Google and others willing to invest abroad? To develop the technology? What price will you charge for advertising and paid services? How will the technical support? Google, Apple and many others to end their tax Eldorado undoubtedly deserves, but the question is, how can they look at the impact of end users for services and products often depends more than he at first accepted.

 

Social Media: A Dream in the Making With Google+

I hate to say it, but in terms of new social networking site Google +, I'm still skeptic. Even this new offering of Google has certain drawbacks that were absent in its predecessor Google Wave.

Google Wave was in its time a very interesting technology. The combination of social networks (in the form in which it existed in 2009), e-mail applications, groupware and technology-driven content sharing experience and promise of usefulness was better, although they were contemporary competitive separate systems. It was very tempting. Most importantly, in light of the then Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace, it looked like a welcome evolutionary step.

However, Google Wave did not die. Actually the competitors were "just better". On the contrary, in many technological aspects several competitors simply vanished or because they hardly generated any interest with their features. Wave service started with much hope and aspirations but its inner flaws obstructed its potentiality.

However, there remained some flaws in the new concept. It allowed limited access to the service at a time when the buzz reached its peak. Google played down the part when everyone wanted it and when the demand reached its peak. Moreover, those few who accessed the Wave soon discovered that there is nothing substantial in it. The Wave simply ended.

With Google social +, Google has come up with a grand new offering to catch the imagination of millions of social networking users. In appearance it looks like social networking major Facebook but offers enhanced features. After the Wave and Orkut, Google + is helping to bring back excitement for Google's social networking initiatives. Sending invitations to join this site is like warming up the audience who throngs the gallery at the football ground. Moreover, Android application has already implemented it. However, to retain this buzz in the longer run, Google has to take necessary steps and make Google + user-friendly.

The success of Facebook can be traced to its number of daily visitors and huge volume of posted content. Google + can become a full-fledged social networking site with "all in one" features, but faulty strategies can spoil its party like that of the wave. Its success will depend upon how Google sets initial conditions and if "limited testing" period soon leads to open its door to mass public. Easy accessibility remains a key of success behind social networking sites. Otherwise it could be the situation once again where crowds huddle outside the door, screaming at each other and desperately searching for way to enter inside. If such scenario occurs, then Google+ will lose its appeal, otherwise it has great future.

Social Media Marketing: New Features to Take Promotional Initiatives Further Ahead

One of the major advantages of social media is that it strongly supports the idea of divorcing and distributing data and multimedia. Their contents fully support the online campaigns of their users. Each contribution, whether it takes the form of image, text or anything else that might be a shout into the void acts as an inspiring source of debate that ends somewhere else than that of original source.

This fact is genuinely hated part of marketers who would like to fully utilize social media as well, in the same lime line of other "media". But, often the media buzz takes things matters out of our controls. In such situations we often prefer 'silence' over unwanted publicity as we do not want to be influenced by anyone other than ourselves. Despite such fears, the professional marketers as well as ordinary people have found saviors in social networking platforms such as Facebook.

Facebook recently introduced an interactive feature that allows users to add comments to the posts in multimedia elements. It is simply appealing to the millions of users as the generated thumbnail image or the integrated video player looks simply wonderful and most importantly it enhances the usage rate and user participation level of such media. When the users comment on the posts, they often put their URL addresses in the comment fields thus they ensure a both-way promotions. Easy-to-use interactive aspects ensure better user experience and generate more traffic to the promoted links.

Online media now plays manifold roles. They have virtually ushered in a revolution in maintaining two-way communication with the target groups. Interactive features act as a mechanism for developing quality discussion on Facebook. The themes will also witness major changes in the coming times. The discussion and feedback of Facebook visitors will play major role in dramatically modifying present features. No doubt, users' experience and their opinions will make social networking platforms vibrant and flexible enough.

The major changes in social networking platforms will tremendously help Facebook marketers. Enriched with improved interactive features they will find it compelling to extensively use online social networking sites and enjoy greater level of flexibility and control over their postings. They are the ones for whom Facebook will become much more active site and offer the users with a plethora of multimedia wonders.

The ability to add multimedia to comment or postings on Facebook is undoubtedly a unique aspect of social networking blitz but it needs careful utilization of the new offerings. It needs intense effort and strong nerves to succeed in the new platform of corporate war.
