You and I are both very much familiar of Facebook right? Therefore, most of the features of this social media network are indeed so recognizable to you, including search result feature.

Search results in Facebook are very important to a user, particular to me since I am a very avid user of this social site. Usually, I search for my long-time-no-see friends and relatives, my favorite bands, singers, movies, and everything that I like. Usually, they have their own fan or group page in Facebook; so how am I going to seek for it then? Well, plainly, the search toolbar is provided to let Facebook users search on what they wanted.

Well, with regards to their search results, Facebook is now innovating to improve it then! According to Matt McGee, “Facebook has changed its search results display — the drop-down that appears as soon as users begin typing in the Facebook search box.”

In other words, the search results display provides possible options of the things you are searching for even before you completely type the word or group of words. In addition, “the new display is organized into different content types, replacing the old version which showed results in a straight list format with no organization.”

So when you type the word “Google” for example, just like Matt McGee illustrated, the search results organizes the outcomes accordingly: Groups, Pages, Questions and People. At the bottom of the drop-down, there is a link that leads you to “more results on…” depending on what you actually search for from the beginning. On the next link, you will be provided with more options to satisfy your needs.

Right now, Facebook is constantly making their users become more interested in logging in to it in almost all times, and this includes the simple search bar that we often overlook at.

Recently Facebook have been experiencing many complains about their privacy policy. This raises concern of several business entities about the security of facebook. Since the number of entrepreneurs have created online stores and support on the social media site designed for their consumers.

Facebook is now at its peak and this also means more development for privacy options, additional applications, quick consumer-concern response and additional staff. Many concerns have been raised against facebook—especially in the user privacy options.

Lately, the Business Herald columnist Deborah Hill Cone’s identity was stolen was dreaded on the complex procedure of closing down an account. This was not new to the social media network and for some celebrities which experienced an identity theft.

Another major problem facebook is confronted with, is the cyber bullying issue which is prevalent in many university belts worldwide. Recently, a delinquent student made a pseudo-profile of a 12 year classmate and posted pornographic pictures, sexual references and racial discrimination.

But despite security issues, an Australian Bank owned by New Zealand, ASB Bank established the first virtual branch on Facebook. Which critics consider as not very pleasing to the image of ASB—concerning a social network with security breach.

But to what extent should Facebook imposed user privacy options? Social media is a broad field and regulations should be appropriate and suitable for every different user or else these could harm the progress of the entity. Experts’ advised that Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg should initialize regional managers.

Perhaps the future of Facebook relies on the ability of its captains in sailing against the stormy ocean. The business world specifically the internet has a changing nature. The previous years, Myspace was the hottest social media network until Facebook grabbed the spot with its unique applications and social media trends.

The question is? Can Facebook cope with the user privacy demands of its consumers? Or will it be superseded by a more secure social media site.

Nowadays, social media have already increasingly become an essential aspect in the world today. It becomes a vital aspect that resulted most of the businesses around the globe to make it seriously. Since, it becomes necessary aspect for today’s current business world that several of its companies will now eventually be creating social media departments. This might be considered as bit over top the portion but this social media is not anymore considered as fad, selling products and services will eventually determine on how efficient this will be considered. Just a couple years that have passed on, this would now become possible for the company to allocate their mere responsibility of social media towards one person and its been considered that this individual would only required to devote few hours in daily basis upon making on any type of promotion. Especially that those aspects will entirely have some changes and currently it become as quite impossible for just one person to entirely create their most well efficient usage for social media even doing it in full time basis.

This become the mere reason why various huge companies are in the condition of development the entire departments that will solely and merely focuses towards social media. The future of this of online basis advertisement and social media will now become as accountable to be considered as larger chunks of their mere effort. It makes sense and even smaller businesses got amazing results with that involvement of Twitter and Facebook. The great aspect in regards to this kind of promotion is considered as somewhat free and even efficient.  But the only downside of this aspect is the time consumption. Though, there will be no businesses that currently can afford of ignoring on this kind of promotion as to ensure their marketing competition. As of now, most of the consumers would entirely be expecting of being able to interact with business individuals who can sell things and failing on facilitating this expectations will somehow lead on of losing their respective businesses.

What latest facebook application is you so crazy about? I have to admit again I am the last about the internet world. Though, online games are a niche that I intend to conquer but the when is not yet set. Yes, as a normal breathing human being, we should get abreast with the latest news and fads or games that people get crazy about.

Here are the list of the events that prodded me to at least try the facebook applications.

1. The Farmtown mania hit the office long before the Michael Jackson mania hit town. Yet, I was not prodded until my nieces go crazy about it and ask my email add not for any other reason but for Farm town. Now, so here I come and got hooked with Farm town but to my disappoint it was not Farm Town that I got hooked with every morning but Farmville. There is a difference you know.

2. The next guy in town is farming already and even the normal media man plays farm town before they wrote their news for the next day. Mind you I sat down with the most popular media man in our town and to my amusement well he played farm town for an hour before starting to write the news the next day. I made sure that I visited the news stand to read his article the next day. I was just curious.

3. Facebook applications vary from mafia to the tame Cafe world and Fishville and Farm Town. Yet are these applications good for children or for adults? I have to admit that the ‘child’ in me is reawakened every time I play any of Facebook applications. As a person who studies human behavior I have to say that facebook application are good if moderately played by both adults and children.

If parents know how to handle their kids by letting them play with the game you are giving them the chance to be a child and be aware of the latest fad during their time. But overdoing is another story.

Christmas Holiday is long but with facebook in your house… daddy and the children could compete who got the highest score on a chosen facebook application. It will never be a boring holiday and that is a big thank you to facebook.

Even families separated by distance can feel the closeness this Christmas season. They can play one game and build camaraderie and friendship.

In recent days Facebook has been persuading its users to review its privacy option. There have been so many privacy problem issues around the world who used facebook.

You can all change the privacy settings of your profile if you want only your friends who can view you profile, picture, update and shout out. There are four options on every privacy settings of your profiles: Everyone, friends of friends, only friends and customize. What makes good in these new option settings since you can also customize the third party program on facebook like games and quizzes if you would like this program to access your personal pages.

Microsoft have already decided towards capitalizing this Windows Live Messenger popularity in China in order to launch on a newer service that been known as the MSN Juku which have also been calling as the local innovation upon the development through this MSN China.

But this will still become as microblogging services and for their one local media report that will actually be calling it upon knocking off this Plurk that also become quite essential popular in Asia. With that, Juku that currently be in this beta will entirely brings on several other innovations towards this table that would allow several users be able to play on this games and even win some prizes that would somehow something sounds like this science fiction during the time that it comes towards this traditional feature of shy Twitter. However in some point, this Microsoft have not announce yet in regards to their any plans upon the internationalization of their services and even perhaps positioning for a direct competitor in Twitter.

Both this google and facebook will individually setting on towards embarking this new territory on this Monday upon launching on their newer URL that will shorten on their service that become a mere tool upon modifying this long internet address for much shorter string upon the randomization of this character that includes this Goo.gl for potential that will shake it up in their sector and even putting on their pressure upon the establishment of their players that includes this Bit.ly and to this Tiny URL.com So, apart from this current availability of higher profile for the shorterners that includes this TinyURL and as well to Bit.ly, the Google’s newer URL shortener, and the goo.gl will not be an entire purpose link upon reduction that this users will entirely access through tgoing this standalone sites. With this, roll-out that will be appearing to this targeted site upon increasing on this users engagement with their services that includes this Twitter that been relying in short term for about 140 character messages.

This Goo.gl serve as not independent of this shortening tool but this google will be saying that if this services will entirely be proving useful then they will eventually making it quite available towards their wider audiences for their future. With that, this search giant will be claiming that this entrance of this URL will entirely shorten in their market as essential aspect for the service of their reliable, stable, faster, and even will continually applying similar standard for this malicious content upon the detection of this Google’s ordinary web searches.

Based on some industry analysts who had just warned on this sheer volume for short links this could entirely be generated through this Facebook, the Google’s URL shorteners that can entirely overwhelm this number of bit.ly links that been circulating on this internet. However in some cases, the Betaworks Studios will be hoping on this white label edition for this bit.ly services that will entirely challenge on towards this companies and even businesses that keens of holding back their identity online and it might also begin charging on their feature in the future. With that, it entirely remains to be seen whether this Google’s will be continuing of its dominance for this web in larger extend towards its realm in tiny setting.
