Facebook: Here To Stay

Contrary To Popular Opinion, The Folks at Facebook Are Still On Top of Their Game...!

Facebook initial success may have been a fluke. We all saw the movie "The Social Network" (based on the book titled 'The Accidental Billionaires' by Ben Mezrich), and may even secretly hate Zuckerburg, since Mezrich affirmed the book's non-fiction status. But it seems that it was Jesse Eisenberg's acting chops that led to much of the character's negative depiction, rather than the actual events.

One characteristic, however, that Eisenberg seemed to have gotten right was the relentless hyperactive neurotic-ism that leads to irrational decisions attributed with most innovators. During Instagram and Whatsapp acquisitions, there were speculations ranging from foul intentions to temporary insanity -- time has proven that neither was true.

"One of the things that we are trying to do with Creative Labs and all our experiences is explore things that aren't all tied ti Facebook identity '. Mark Zuckerberg said in an interview with The New York Times.

Te idea doesn't just apply to Whatsapp and Instagram. Other products like Messenger are also in queue to provide 'ease of acces' and a better sense of privacy through segmentation different mobile experiences.

Facebook is fighting hard, not just to sustain segmented products. it's not reinventing itself, since it is still thriving. However, it is compartmentalizing, especially in the mobile department.

The biggest pitfall attributed wit most bloated corporations is getting to settled-in, with future strategy based on past success. The invention of Facebook changed business in a lot of ways, Everything, even search, became 'more social', It has taken business away from a number of competing applications.like Google Search through ad placement based in social data, rather than page content Google tired to counter this with the acquisition of Orkut and launching new products like Google Wave and Google+. It even signed a exclusive 900 million dollars ad deal with MySpace in 2006. But Facebook was there first, and maybe that was the winning factor.

Some say what Facebook can't develop, the buy Firstly, there's nothing wrong with that, and secondly, It's not true. One recent development to that end is Facebook Paper -- a new, iOS- only design concept,but with open

Source animation libraries. There is a good chance of at least a morphed Andriod version coming soon.

Another example is the Messenger, which has improved by leaps and bounds, especially after the WhatsApp acquisition, which some believed would be the death of the Messenger. "Messenger is more about chatting with friends and WhatsApp is like an SMS replacement." 

--Mark Zuckerberg told The New York Times Besides these successes, Zuckerberg is optimistic about other heavily invested projects like Graph Search and Facebook Home.

Stating that acceptance and data maturity for such apps must be scaled on a five years period, meaning there;s still time for these concepts to hold ground.
