We’re here today at the St. Regis in San Francisco where Facebook is unveiling what CEO Mark Zuckerberg is calling a “modern messaging system”. Zuckerberg recalled talking to high schoolers recently and asking them how they communicate with one another. They don’t like email. “It’s too formal,” Zuckerberg noted. So about a year ago, Facebook set out to overhaul the system. But this isn’t just about email.

“This is not an email killer. This is a messaging experience that includes email as one part of it,” Zuckerberg said. It’s all about making communication simpler. “This is the way that the future should work,” he continued.

Here are the keys to what a modern messaging system needs according to Zuckerberg:

  • seamless
  • informal
  • immediate
  • personal
  • simple
  • minimal
  • short

Via Vincenzo Cosenza

linkedin signalLinkedIn, il social network professionale più grande del mondo, cresce lentamente ma costantemente, e lo fa provando ad innovare il concept iniziale. Sono riuscito ad entrare nella beta di quella che potrebbe essere la futura interfaccia, nome in codice Signal.

La novità fondamentale è l’introduzione di uno stream in tempo reale delle notizie (aggiornamenti di stato di Linkedin e Twitter) provenienti dalla propria rete di contatti, mutuato dall’esperienza positiva di Facebook (in termini di aumento dell’interazione e permanenza sulla pagina).

Inoltre, dalla colonna di sinistra, è possibile anche usare 8 tipi di filtri per ottenere risultati per network, settore, azienda, data, nazione, scuola, grado di separazione, hashtag più popolari.

Come farà Facebook a conquistare il mondo

di

Via Techcrunch

Remember three years ago, when Microsoft paid a quarter-billion dollars for 1.6% of Facebook and the exclusive right to run banner ads across Facebook.com? Tell the truth, how many of you thought that was a killer business decision? I can’t say I did at the time. But as that deal is about to expire in 2011, Facebook’s status as a revenue juggernaut is rarely questioned any more.

In fact, I have been mulling over data from both companies, and I’m ready to declare in public my belief that Facebook will be bigger in five years than Google is right now, barring some drastic action or accident. Futhermore, Facebook will grow without needing to cut into Google’s core business of text ads, which are still 99% of Google’s profits. Even if every single Facebook user performs just as many searches with Google as ever—including Google Instant, mobile search, and YouTube—Facebook will inexorably grow as big as Google is today and maybe bigger, because Madison Avenue’s brands are less interested in targeting than they are in broadcasting to vast mother-loving buckets of demographically correct eyeballs, and Facebook has become the perfect platform for that.
