W8 : The new use of Facebook.

Facebook has changed our way to use Internet. How could I admit that ? Just because it is now one of the most influent website. As I said in my previous post, this is a portal to the rest of the World Wide Web. We don’t have to search information, Facebook brings it for us. Something else makes Facebook special : they try to improve each applications within the website to generate a better communication between users. Of course, for Facebook it is always a great opportunity to pick up data from their users and use it. This idea reveals a positive and negative side. What I am trying to say is with these information, it helps them to ameliorate the social network. But, also with all these data serve them to deal profiles, information with others companies. So, what do we have to believe when they tell us that we can download our own information in a zip file (http://mashable.com/2010/10/06/facebook-data-portability-2). Are they trying to make us believe that we are safe on Facebook. This previous link shows a video, and within it they affirm that with this new option, we have the total control of our personal data. Recently, Facebook users will have the chance to navigate and communicate differently because Facebook changed the Group application. Once again, this is a new use of this website. All these changes and improvements make me think to a strategy perfectly controlled. It seems like fostering of users loyalty. They have to do it to keep their users, and I can say that it works. For us, we have to handle this new way of communication and contact our friends, but we get use to it. The main idea of this new project is involving each participant of the group and make them to build something all together. Facebook is right again, this is all about us.
