Facebook Finds Quieter Ways to Complain About Google's Search+ - Liz Gannes - Social. Beware Facebook Timeline: There’s no going back. Facebook's Timeline feature went live worldwide earlier this week, in both your regular browser and in the Android and mobile web versions, but beware, once you activate the stream of memories, there's no going back.
The new version turns your Facebook profile into a history lesson spanning all the years you've been active on the site, and while the social network has been at pains to point out the range of privacy settings, one big option is conspicuously absent: the ability to turn it all off. Developers and early adopters who have tried Timeline using the pre-launch test workaround were able to deactivate the page and return to the regular profile layout, but that option has disappeared since the official launch. Those turning on Timeline now have seven days to preview and tweak what details, photos, likes, interests and videos are included on the page, before it automatically goes live. Is Google+ Really a Social Media Game Changer? Google+ may be less than a year old, but New York Times bestselling author Chris Brogan is ready to crown it a game changer.
His latest book, which will publish next week, is called Google+ for Business: How Google's Social Network Changes Everything. "Everything? ," we asked Brogan. He assured us, rather indignantly, that he hasn't made a mistake with his book's title. Google+ has an obvious advantage in search results, presents unique opportunities for brands and is backed by deep pockets, he argues. Mashable asked Brogan about what makes Google+ a different kind of social network, what has worked best for brands on the platform so far, and for his advice on developing a Google+ presence. Google+ was unveiled in June and introduced brand pages just last month. “Google+ posts sent to "public" rank fairly well in Google search results. It's pretty easy to explain. The title of your book says that "Google's Social Network Changes Everything.
" Absolutely. Why Google gets no respect (from developers) — Cloud Computing News. Google+ Was Never a Facebook Competitor. The social web is a well reported topic within the media today, and for good reason.
We are in a transitional change with how we communicate with each other online, how brands reach consumers and how organisations market to their audience. We are undoubtedly immersed in the technology age, and our lives, the way we interact with others, is changing totally. The monumental success of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg's world leading social platform, has enticed brands, consumers, investors alike, and the world is continually awaiting for that 'next big thing'.
A likely reason therefore that the majority of news stories, magazine articles and blog posts on Google's latest foray into the social web repeatedly draw up comparisons to Zuckerberg's global giant. Brad Jordan is Head of Social at U.K. Predicting the next big thing is often easier than some might think. Take the iPod for example. Better Than Anyone Else Advertising. Social = Data.
Why Facebook and Google+ Pages Are Useless.
