Facebook recent changes Mean for the user-Open Graph "Like" button, and much more


Recent F8 Conference, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and you have made changes to the information for the purpose of a lot, and I get some of the questions you've been.

The truth is told, some of which were was a little complex to Facebook--casual, everyday business owner user, so you are not alone it heard and Kinda went "huh?"

Instead, write all the plug-ins and outs, which has recently been changed long analysis, I thought I give a small business owner should be aware of the more important the nuggets.

1) Longer "Fan page"

What was once called "Fan pages" now known as the "official" pages, to distinguish them from the community pages--which I will address below. Takes a bit to get to, like all had come to throw "fan of the terminology around chatting business on Facebook.Now you can "Like" page instead.

Not a fan of this new terminology?Many people are not. (I) you have to refer to the fans "supporters" now-which Unfortunately is somewhat less pizazz in my mind.)I was one of the people who believed "fan" agree that were around the building to your community or fanbase idea.

But unfortunately, such an evolution of social media.

If you are using on your site with Facebook's Fan Box Widget, Fan button automatically is Like when they rolled out a change, however, if you are using a custom label or button you want to change it, or is likely to Find new terms new.

There is a need for some ideas on how Word inviting people to support your own page? If you love, saying "Like us on Facebook", maybe say "join us, Facebook," "Visit us on Facebook" or "Support our page."

2) Facebook "open Graph" and "Like" button

Facebook Connect was formerly a tool that allows for software, Web sites, mobile devices and more Facebook integrate and send the data within them. Facebook connect is now in the process of being by stages, since the last F8 Conference, Facebook announced the launch of something called "Open Graph" Keynote speech in the Mark Zuckerberg said that this would give the people "is in the social and personal experience everywhere they go."

This new platform will allow sites to share information easily with each other. for example, if you connect to the Web site, such as through a profile on Facebook, yelp yelp has access to data, you have made available publicly favorite bar or kitchen and that are taken into account provides you with information about the concert venues or restaurants can.This is probably the new amendments to the most controversial aspects (doesn't sound right?).

"Like" a button that can be added to any site General deployment was also announced at the Conference.For example, you can like (or "Recommend"): this week's article sharing your friends on Facebook.Like the button to also show that Facebook friends already have wanted the same article.When you like something, this action appears in the Facebook Wall and news feed.

If you are running WordPress, you can now install the plugin you can add your own blog Like button and that can derive support in the WordPress site.

3) Pages and add a merged profiles

You may have noticed also that Facebook is now made further pages and profile Pages now when linking. can be linked to your profile information, such as city, hometown, interests, etc., you can see the details tab has been changed and that now you don't have the link pages that reflect about.

This is probably my that Facebook has made at least favorite tweak (I just have to love the way that you automatically again all my interests, education info, etc.), but it is important to note that the users have the ability to control these connections privacy. you can edit the information by visiting the "edit my Profile", as shown in the illustration, and adjust your privacy privacy settings menu.

4) the introduction of Community pages

Facebook has also recently introduced the concept of "Community pages", where you can also create the same page as the official pages, with the exception of the right of the Community pages are "unofficial" pages that have been created for Facebook users to certain causes of topics these pages on Facebook says "create a support your favorite cause or topic by creating a community page. If it becomes very popular, it adopted and maintained by the Facebook community."

With social media in General, it seems the only continuously with Facebook is a change---whether we want to do or not.)

Facebook Privacy changes Coming near you


Are you ready for yet another change in Facebook? Facebook has more than 350 million active users worldwide, no such as social networking, it was a mere six years ago. The open letter to Facebook users on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's billionaire founder-stated "regional networks" are no longer the best way to manage privacy and personal information.

Now been is the easier way for individuals to manage their privacy and method in which the information is shared via the Internet. Do you share your personal information with "friends", "friends" or "all" these changes are occurring on Facebook, which requires you to update your personal settings in the coming weeks.Facebook to make recommendations to the way social network has a huge impact on the environment. currently, in most individuals do not share their content using the "all" setting that Facebook during the summer.

Zuckerberg "nearly 50% of the total amount of the Facebook users are members of the regional networks, this is very important to us. If we Build better, then more than 100 million people have even more control they. "

"Regional networks" on the set of persons, in particular, the city will be able to join, region or country network-is in the process of progressively. Facebook has stated that the social network environment, users were generally aware of the "regional network" accession may allow other users on the same network, users can view the profile of the person of millions. A reversal strategy that made Facebook so popular, Zuckerberg mentioned that the "regional networks" was originally designed for students and businesses but that recent studies found that Facebook had grown so rapidly worldwide, that some networks was literally millions of members. They must be designed in such a plan is said to be more user-friendly and offers a simpler model for the control of data protection.

Facebook is changing the privacy model and created the privacy control content is available only to your friends, friends, friends, or for all can be defined as a simpler model. Social network giant has something to lose through the promotion of "all" updates. Shall be adopted in accordance with the Facebook for a long time and the nature of the new private sector privacy settings can result in accidentally share more chaos of the individual personal information with as originally intended. This is something not just to think, but draws attention to the strong, the new privacy regulations.If the person who believes in the privacy of your personal information and do not want to "all" global Facebook profile and the content is viewed, best privacy setting is "friends" Privacy Control Panel.

For those who are not noticed Facebook has begun to backpedal as it will be launched in March by the treatment of back to the home page of the old-style News feed on Twitter-like the reconfiguration.Facebook may have decided to favor privacy concerns over the real-time. Facebook privacy changes originally announced in July, when it sounded like a social network platform can go to Twitter as the existence of a direction.It seems that the change of heart was the reason for the delay review privacy concerns.

The next several weeks by using Facebook is revised privacy of individuals with regard to the control panel when they review and update their privacy settings.Also will be given to the possibility of individuals to control who can see each piece of information into they create or download content, such as pictures or videos, as well as groups and events.At this point, they can change your privacy settings in the per-item basis.

"We've worked hard to build controls that we believe that it is better to you, but also we realize that all needs are different," Zuckerberg wrote. "We suggest is based on the customer's current level of privacy settings, but all of the options to read and edit them yourself is the best way to find the correct settings.I encourage you to do this, and see who you are sharing with online. "

Facebook is now more than 350 million users in the United States around the world. 105 million people visit the monthly social network of individuals with regard to spend, on average, from the beginning. approximately 45 minutes Facebook daily. September 2009 Facebook may membership, which is 52% of women and men with the fastest growing demographic age 35 and stored by the old and new users of 48%. Zuckerberg, this letter by saying was "a great year 2009 with a view to the adoption of the world more open and connected."

Facebook is the impending changes follow the long-standing criticism of the protection of the child is a good idea and the privacy rights of officials throughout the world. child abuse and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) has previously found that Facebook give bebo 's, for example, by including a website that would allow those individuals who are bullied or targeted online easily report the abuse and to apply for a refund for each page of the button. Facebook responded that they believe this tactic was "the most effective solution to online harassment" solving the problem, and was Now focus on other opportunities. it appears that the new privacy settings on Facebook-the store is a widespread change in the calls for proposals.
