In the course of a public appearance (the first really serious since Facebook went public in may), the founder and CEO of the social network Mark Zuckerberg gave some clues about the future of the company. The Executive denied that they were producing an own smartphone, but released one of the news that could revolutionize the Internet landscape in the coming years. Facebook is working to create its own search engine, a tool that will become a real threat to both Google and Microsoft (Bing).
And is that we are talking about a database of 1 billion users that share all kinds of useful data that could be used in a search engine, such as for example their tastes on the network (through the "I like" and comments), images or videos, among others. This amount of information would not be presented in a list of results as in the case of the large search engines, but it would have a degree of customization very large. They are something that you want to take advantage of the preferences of our contacts to carry out all kinds of activities, and evaluate restaurants, to comment on films or visit sites of different companies.
The user would receive a more direct response to your search, what alter significantly the way in which diving in the network. Google is already taking steps to try to delve into this path with the inclusion of results of the social network Google + within your browser, although the potential of Facebook thanks to the activity that occurs within of the network is much higher. One of the issues that still require much study is the way in which the privacy of users, will be managed taking into account that it is one of the most controversial points of this social platform. Clear that, despite all the controversies that have occurred in this respect in recent years, its growth has continued to be spectacular, so I fear that will not be a very careful look.
At the moment only Zuckerberg has confirmed that it is working on this idea, without giving any date or estimate for your output. In line with the search engine, one of the great hopes of future for the network, the founder also spoke about the situation of its mobile platform. The founder of Facebook ruled out the creation of an own smartphone and the idea that the mobile platform is a handicap for the network, to weigh that up to now has not been profitable access to the network through this medium.
The creator of Facebook has stated that it's a vital field, and it expects to achieve greater benefits through this platform than from your desktop in the next few years, since more than 500 million users already have access on a regular basis by the mobile. The most optimistic studies mark that Facebook will be able to multiply their incomes by five in mobile advertising in barely a year, although it remains to be seen the ability of the company to crystallize these perspectives.
The intervention of Mark Zuckerberg seems to have calmed to the shareholders. Their titles have become to go lightly after several weeks in continuing decline, and have become to overcome the barrier of $20 (closed the Office of yesterday with a valuation of $ 20,71). Be that as it may, it is still a price much lower than the initial valuation of 38 dollars that came to the stock market.
