With Facebook You Get without prompting


When the snot slim and wet behind the ears 23 year old tells the world media, how the advertising industry needs to listen to him junket, wonder, which authority is to make. Grand his message is that ' the next hundred years different in terms of advertising, and it starts today ".

How he gets off with that one wonders booed out of place?I suppose that Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, unless you can belong to be arrogant to think that you are online marketing guru. Certainly his social network and the constant increase in numbers, the number of people belonging to make him the illusion that he is an expert now.

However, the site that allows users to join free and which gives them to play a few Toys are not necessarily written by online marketing expert, it may refer to the right of cyberspace is currently in good time. So what did he start and how long was the hype for the last bubble?

Facebook Roadshow lead Zuckerberg made 6 in November 2007, New York, the new social advertising products/solutions. There were three items only Beacon is directly relevant.Beacon, I suppose is based on the lighthouse Where light is a tool, publicity, is a way to share online with friends, which characters are not fans of the members of Facebook.

That is, however, a simplified explanation of the Beacon is all about.It is really very intrusive way of advertising. participating Marketers or commercial partners Install Beacon code for which the imagine, they pay a hefty price site.

Beacon code of conduct is designed to send data. Visitors to the site in the sites that use the Beacon of the code is the machinery will be checked to see if they have valid Facebook cookie. If Yes, Beacon code sent to Facebook through User info.

When users log on, they are likely to be, so that the data being dragged them to turn off the message. provided that they allow this mini-feed info out their Facebook friends main landing page.

Itself is nothing new here.Indications for products, services or people often celebrities, companies have been around for years. Of course they will, as a general rule, payments shall be paid for the product of the fat.Check which Roger Federer and Tiger Woods wins the processes these file types So why Zuckerberg young considers that he is so unique is pretty to me.

But what is likely to be a real nasty here is that Facebook is a member of the requesting Member can turn off the system default, Facebook members become advertising press officers.

Facebook Beacon designed so that only members can choose. But the opt-out Windows, it is hard to see, and disappear very quickly. If you do not have quickly enough in the wholesale market, purchases and preferences were send to your friends on Facebook. Seemed to surprise gifts.

This causes the question is, who owns the default option?, or a standard English, who decides whether a user is directed to the opt out to avoid action or ask to be able to choose.Users should, as a general rule, less inclined to choose when personal information is not disclosed.

The other responds to needs in the question is, who owns the data.Other words, if someone can, shopping centre, at each visit and the purchase you made with data will be "Certainly there is no doubt that one should provide that a transfer of ownership of the own funds regulations on top?Such activities generally called stalking.

It displays.Beacon by implementing data were obtained from Facebook's to sell to advertisers.Outright theft, imagine.What is probably a bit closer to examine shocking is that data theft is what Zuckerberg was visible data.

Isn't it scary when the business person to publicly proclaim that the way to do business for 100 years is to steal information from people? Implicit agreement Facebook and its members is that the members of the information is confidential. Facebook attempted to money and sell the implicit agreement.

What your fingers Facebook was that members occurs that private information was in use for commercial gain is the whole point. Facebook, the social networking space, where you can safely share information and interact with other people or is allowed to come with your friends.

It took Beacon bubble burst, less than one month. Pressure hot air moveon.org and General blogosphere Facebook back to was and is now made Beacon opt-in.

Beacon was clumsy effort to the concept of misuse of powers and profit uudelleenmääritettävää off the new definition. Unfortunately, this is only for the business to bend and invent new rules and laws and the Internet user's money. in fact, the game at this point all bets are off. Internet users beware! Party has only begun.






The father of All the books on Facebook


Dorm room, Harvard; in 2004 started Facebook peeps now will be "almost all the world's plant" dormitory and beyond.

50, 00, 00, 000-50 crores people who are enthusiastic about the number of users of the site. Every time when we surf the Web, automatic reminder system will control our fingers to type f-a-c-e-b-o-o-k-.-c-o-m, before departure, the life of the people.Everyday conversations quotes ' Googling ' we try to capture in such a way as to provide it to us on Facebook status message statement. we have so embroiled in writing on the walls, poking, commenting, recalled, tags, etc., etc., not even we can get enough time to think that how these Miscellaneous things are about to change as we live in.

Web-site is way ahead of them in which body or bodies is that it gives an unprecedented access to publicity and celebrities, is never-ending game list, using the photo and video sharing, tweeting, chat, mailing labels, all in one environment. in India we have seen till now only as a platform for Facebook social networking. Many of us know that Facebook founder Chris Hughes helped her "online election campaign" Barack Obama through Facebook.

We are talking about money, most of the Facebook's revenue comes from the rebates and ads that appear in the Web site for different applications.Facebook Credits for the programme, and ' virtual ' currency, that users will use games and applications on Facebook to purchase "virtual goods".The user will receive a $ 10 credit to that which they spend and some percentage of the money goes to Facebook.

Facebook is certainly the creation in itself thanks to Zuckerberg. Google has come to represent a retrograde step in "search" like Facebook will soon be replaced by the word "notice". but the sorry part is Facebook instead of taking over the world, the latter is engulfing the former and people are not forgetting is only our ' want ' and ' need to ".






Is Social Media Ever Take Profit?


We all remember the last great bubble Wall Street. I'm not talking about the dip after 9/11. I'm talking about Dot com boom. Do you remember when risk capital companies were throwing millions of company, which expired .com? $ 3500 Ergonomic desk chairs, quickly growing inventory settings, and Whoopi Goldberg shilling a site that had their own specific currency and super-fast for delivery. Flooz.com died a painful death in the end, but not before it burned through the estimated risk capital-35-50 million dollars.

Sites such as Facebook and MySpace much praised the introduction of social media and user-generated news sites such as Reddit and Digg and venture capital (VC) became a little more difficult to obtain at least some Investors were still a bit reluctant. Reddit (a site where users submit and vote on articles, videos, and pictures) received only $ 12000 startup capital.It really popular site (60-70,000 visitors a day), they took a round in the fields of finance, who brought it receives less than EUR 100000 VC. after they received 85 k level visitors per day, Conde Nast publications was acquired by the undisclosed millions.

What Digg, Reddit, MySpace, Twitter and Facebook have problems? If you said "coming up consistently profitable revenue model ', you would be correct.

In Dot-Com the beam after no one has figured how to make a reasonable profit. In the case of micro blogging service Twitter is used in industry, the pre-euphemism "revenue" stage.What this means? No they are not making money yet. Revenue is coming, they just showed how is not. For as long as they are VC flat on usually is.

Web 2.0 and the difference is run Dot Com companies drive date of arrival. Kevin Rose, Digg is a weekly update on Diggnation webcast. Everybody's friend, MySpace is a ubiquitous "Tom". If you say "Zuckerberg" Silicon Valley, within a radius of 500 Miles, women and men cry was grown to miss when they move funding FaceBook quickly. People, such as the persons concerned. Rich wish to join with people very happy to help. These people are rockstars of the Web site. So they will receive the money. When the revenue streams of thin, these wildly Charismatic people on revenue model, which is usually only advertising placement.So investors hang there until advertising sticks, or in the case of MySpace, until it is sold in the company's larger entity which has been left to find out what tulospalvelujen. these sites FaceBook is the most successful. Successful, the value of their decreased from 15 billion dollars, mere $ 2 billion in recently. This is not based on the profit. This is based on the "predicted profit".

The biggest hero/Villain and this whole thing is Kevin Rose of Digg. He is to manage huge amounts of VC for Digg, along with cash his video site Revision3, Pownce and Twitter clone failed. Why he must be able to increase the money without significant return on investment. He is today a common vernacular. ".too big to fail. " Consider, as appropriate for your situation investor: tens of millions of multiple managers have been considered very high-profile person. He is a huge success story ylistetympi than. Future profits are tied to his future profits.Hereinafter referred to as "IP route belongs to him," declares "some other entity, the joint venture is at the heart of the sustainable value and give you a payout of the original investment, together with a substantial share of the profits of the sale.

Although this in itself creates a problem with VC investors, Digg, social aspects and the General Internet-adds wrinkle to withdraw funding: minute financing has been cancelled, not only to stop hemorrhaging money, millions of users, and to disenfranchise. It extends to all over the Internet in nanoseconds, and you are now at the criminals.All of a sudden, people start horse ends on your bed or start the worse, hacking accounts and divulging your personal information is known throughout the wasteland of cyberspace. it is not a PUBLIC RELATIONS nightmare that will take your life to the end of the PR-hell is. You will not be able to do well that.

So you are stuck until the next time you start be VC, one poorly prospects because their income plan. After this, the new startup, while leaving it to the boot that site visitors defect was "too big to fail" and enable it to do just that. Charismatic owner leaves the other to form the joint venture.You are left high and dry, the status of a person who would like to purchase from the site at a later date, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former to rebuild some of brightness at a reduced price.

There are situations in which the wise VC expenditure has reaped prizes, as well as investors and the buyer.Reddit's buyout was one case in which the price was justified, regardless of which shall be paid by the Conde Nast.They are extremely loyal user base and Conde Nast has been able to use drive traffic from other online resources, in particular, Wired Magazine, Vogue, Vanity Fair, GQ, and different versions of online media properties.The total amount of less than 100000 VC investment and sale million dollars, where the investors do certainly generous profit.Owners Pocket include rich payout, paid for the transfer of the Silicon Valley.There were no losers. how to be devoid of any distinctive character, which have driven hype for an indefinite period of time on social media and egos.

Some reads now, I am only is Digg about jerk. it is worth so much and investors are to be conducted in a haul, when it sells. My reply ... ummm ... does not exist., you can see, Digg has been brought to the capital, which is equivalent to at least EUR 60 M and estimatedly as much as $ 150 m is an internal are virtual circuit is $ 164 m. Digg valuation on the market to sell itself on Google is for $ 200 M. they shall be subject to the rules and Dot Com VC investors are losing their shirts. Slide as we can continue with the economic downturn and investors starting place at a reasonable market online property valuation and the deposit facility will remain unchanged.

Unless there is a revolution in online advertising, these companies will continue to lose money, and the fat of the albatross, which destroys fundraising landscape a bright side to the other entrepreneurs. using your current online business the standards applied we cannot safely pull flooz.com "loser" column.






Mark Zuckerberg was Inspire new Social Networking Site is aimed at children is called Togetherville?


Display social networking is still taking the world storm online and the media, mainly on Facebook. It has received, when I hear Mark Zuckerberg I am starting to think about the power level name. Often, I wonder what happened to the my Space, I hear less and less use it, and even I know friends is to provide financial statements of disrepair. I laughed so hard day, when your friend account and a comment, it said, "..Anyone even use this longer? ... "

So all privacy discussions Mark Zuckerberg and his customers ' personal information, what not to do the world movement of your personally identifiable information without the family? Let's not forget all the children who are being bullied on the website will be the practices employed in committing the irregularity of suicide faceless people facebook generation.The only answer to the left is to inspire social networking site for children under 13, yeah! remember how difficult to grow up, compound feedingstuffs, let's by hurrying us along the ADHD children and emotional distress about someone on their Facebook wall.

Enough complaining from me, I was inspired to write this article because I got to the children about radio blurb facebook less than 13 Vemma stage and decided to research the many efforts of the spate of. I found a site before I started to resemble radio ad for the name of the kid's social networking site called, "Togetherville". Sounds so friendly, does it?

In the case of a device reproducing the geometry of the Facebook Togetherville it, if necessary, as "kid" as the US portion of the site belongs.Your child has a profile page, photos, and they can watch videos, play games, send and receive gifts, "safe" to send messages, and notes, or the friend activity sound familiar? They submit that it all is carried out for the active participation of family and friends.Is not what is missing from the bullying each other adult Facebook with your child?

Togetherville piggybacks off, Facebook environment for a user name and password, which is the parent of the child's account.Creators tout the importance of education in this environment, but I'm not really sure of my 6-10 years old need that much connections. I think the authors have taken a step in the right direction, make sure your child's safety by requiring Togetherville parental involvement.

Social networking has become a staple in which we live, is it good in the world., or a bad idea for the interpretation of the social is a comfortable intended audience is the beneficiary, but the wrong hands can do much harm.
