Facebook launched into day two features from its competitors. How she was nervous about what would be the consequences for users?
What does it mean when a huge company, a kind of monopoly in its field, one day brings two significant changes in its system - both very reminiscent of competing services? Facebook's case, this bit looks like pressure. Two significant announcements came out yesterday, the social network. The first was a smart friend lists. The network will enter the user's friends list based automated form acquaintance (family, work, etc.) and allow it to produce lists additional categories would define himself. Very reminiscent of (but very) to feature Google's circuitry plus. When Google announced its social network, the circles were the most significant difference between her working method than that of the competitor. A few hours later came another message from Facebook. Now no longer have to be friends with someone to be exposed to its updates. Each user can add his option to "Sign", to give anyone interested to put their torch updates, even without the conspiracy members. This asymmetry is a concept that can be said that he almost fundamentally opposed to Facebook - which until yesterday was based on reciprocity almost sacred, which formalized an adjective that requires - "Friends". Not just guys or "users". Not "followers" like Twitter. Twitter, you say? Concept huh - symmetric is 'Twitter' not less than double opt friends "is" Google Pelosi. This is not the first time frightened by Twitter and Facebook are trying to copy her user experience.Several years ago there were social network users to find their feed suddenly looked like a pile of squeaks. It contained almost only status updates, and urged the links, images and other common objects aside. It took some time to Zuckerberg and Co. a little calmed down and returned to their former status. General, it seems that Facebook recently adopted any "killer feature" of a competitor or a body in his own field resembling her own (or that she would like to mention something his own). Facebook Places - check based anywhere? Just like Foursquare. Coupons and deals? Type of Grofon. Filters on images?Part of Ainstgrm. Does not always work. The Deals Facebook canceled, and the Places - changed. Still, she seemed to rush to embrace every trend it appears today Achhm. Behind her she sees companies like Microsoft and Google, that have become fat, conservative and dirty, and have lost their Hmog'o and innovation for the new guys in the neighborhood. Facebook was the new guy this time. Today, with a history of several years, a certain kind of spirit of enterprise, the value of billions and 750 million users - has been hard for her to keep on top of start - up and come up with innovative features casually. So rather than innovate - it simply copies. Adds the icing and other cake cream of its base

Just do not go to competitors
Suddenly a section of surveillance Facebook So now Facebook is a little over Twitter (or a bit much). Allowing tracking it becomes the user's wall represents something more than the past. If he felt he had a conversation with many participants with friends and acquaintances, now he might feel that he was on a public stage altogether. People think twice before they ask someone for companies who are unfamiliar, but they will have reason to think twice whether to subscribe to someone like that, just interested. User selected to add to his account the function H"hirshm "Facebook will have to internalize his suddenly are also complete strangers - something that might make him change his form of expression. Facebook hope, of course, that these changes will affect the good - the registration tool will save opening 'pages Lake "by users who limit 5000 popular and intellectual friends friends lists will allow users to express themselves more freely - thanks to the fact that can be easily set up the audience to get the message posted. They especially hope, let's face it, a user receives these tools they would not see the need to move the virtual road to the competitor who gave him even before Facebook. If it works for them - will soon see.
