Facebook tired of the British and the Americans?

Only in the last month has lost millions of Facebook users in the U.S. and other developed markets. Well suited for the countries of South America.


The company Socialbakers analyzed the results of Facebook. It turned out that Facebook is doing worse in the U.S. and the UK. In the U.S., over the last six months logged on to almost 9 million users less than in the previous six months, in the UK - about 2 million. Especially bad for the portal is the last month - the U.S. decline was 6 million members (4 per cent. Less), the UK - 1.4 million (4.5 percent)..


Not everywhere, however, recorded a loss of interest in Facebook. Total monthly logins continues to grow in South America (Brazil about 6 percent.), India (4 percent.).

Facebook and Marketplace, a year later, it's time to take stock


18 May 2012 Facebook went public with a set price per share at $ 38. Today, after years stay in the global financial markets, social equity giant faces worse than the day of the premiere, but recent records are not the lowest in the short trading history of facebook.
Stock market debut of Facebook, when you set the entry price per share was $ 38 did not bring about a revolution, as predicted by most analysts, the market price of the shares during the session only slightly exceeded the $ 40, and finally at the end of the IPO remain higher than the opening price by a few cents.
The next day the crew had much to disappoint Zuckerberg, in a relatively short period of time a single company's stock price soared down to the level of $ 17.55, but it was the moment when the giant bounced off the bottom and began an arduous march upward.DoubleDown Casina Hack

To this day, Facebook did not recover the value that was calculated on an IPO. Closing of the first year as a public company appointed at the level of the share price of 26.25 USD. This means that 30.9 percent decrease compared to the input value of 18 May 2012. Down 30.9 percent per year may seem a significant loss, but remember that the stock market has a much higher risk and higher volatility than the bond market and other banking products and financial services. In turn, those who have purchased shares in social networking giant at a time when they were on the "hole" in less than a year, gained almost 50%. Hack

In the last quarter of Facebook had revenues higher than expected by market analysts, to € 1.46 billion. Today's valuation of Facebook closes in the amount of 63.47 billion dollars. This huge money, but a year ago, on the first day, the company was valued at $ 104 billion. However, despite the initial revaluation, most analysts are agreed on the fact that devaluation is not a de facto loss, but the actual rate card adjustments social networking giant's market power. During the stay in the public market, Facebook has changed, it has become a company with lots of cash, profits steadily increasing revenues, working with manufacturers in the telecommunications industry, while continually expanding its core business is still adding new features. Those who hoped that Facebook is a bubble that will burst soon, slightly miscalculated.

HTC First spectacular failure tandem Facebook - HTC


Facebook a long time preparing for the launch of its smartphone, hoping that users of the portal will run to the stores and will start to buy in bulk quantities. Unfortunately, it miscalculated.

HTC First, also called Facebookofonem, the first official phone dedicated Facebookowi, whose sales in the United States deals with operator AT & T. Initially the phone with the contract cost $ 99, but the lack of interest from consumers prompted the operator to introduce a drastic reduction in the price and that's after only a month. Currently HTC First you can buy for less than a burger, or $ 0.99.

Worse reduction did not help at all, because according to media reports, has sold just 15,000 units, so AT & T has decided to opt out of further sales of this model and confirmed that the items that no one bought, will be returned to the manufacturer.

HTC First was to be hit, and was a spectacular failure, and its sales were even worse than the failed model of HTC Chacha launched in 2011. For Facebook this news is a serious blow, especially since the recently released Facebook application Home, also not is of particular interest. The Sims Social Hack 2013

Facebook is no longer cool? Too much on the parents and the plain of Contents


Do you have Facebook? Sure you have. The highest percentage of users are still teenagers who more often treat Facebook as ... chore rather than fun. This conclusion of the report, which examined the approach of American youth to the service brand Zukcerberga.

The report produced by the think tank Pew Research Center shows the results obtained after examining in September 2012 with 802 Americans from 12 to 17 years. The authors found that adolescents often continue to use Facebook, but changes her attitude at the same time to the portal.

A few years ago it was considered fairly common among teenagers fascinating place to establish or strengthen relationships. Now more and more young people consider activity on Facebook only for my duty. It irritates them include "Control" site for parents and saturation of its pages with unnecessary information. As a result, they do not receive interesting content, and we must be careful not to publish comments inconvenient for them.

At the same time expanding the group of young users of other social networking sites. Although current statistics are not bad for Facebook (in 2012 was used by 94 percent of surveyed teens who have used such services, in 2011 - 93 percent), the attention is quickly growing interest in Twitter and Instagramem.

In 2011, "ćwierkało" only 12 percent of concerned American youth social networks. A year later, this figure had grown to 26 percent. With Instagramu benefited in the past year and 11 percent of young Americans. 12 months earlier photographic community service was not even classified in the statement.

Facebook authorities do not believe that the problem raised by the report was serious. At a recent meeting with investors argued that teenagers are still willing to engage in a life of service. Some stakeholders are concerned, however, that Facebook is slowly starting to lose young users.

Facebook buys "vase" for a billion dollars?


The most popular social networking site is trying to broaden its range of new functionality. I recently took a huge amount so Instagram, and now a one billion U.S. dollars is going to buy Israeli company Waze.



Waze is specialized in the production of social maps, which selects the most interesting places to visit. Its products each year are becoming increasingly popular. Back in July 2012 were about 20 million users, but now their number is estimated at about 47 million, with approximately 30 percent of the Americans, and the rest are residents of other countries.

Purchase Waze would be very expensive, because according to the sources (each tells a different amount, and the lack of official data), Facebook would have to pay for the new purchase of 800 million to as much as $ 1 billion. However, negotiations on the acquisition of Waze, has reportedly started six months ago.

The new company can help Facebookowi spread its wings in the mobile sector, which currently has 751 million users per month, and this number is growing by tens of percent a year.

Facebook is not the only company interested in acquiring Waze. Recently it was said that it is interested in buying Apple, but nothing came of it. It is very strange that Waze is the author of a significant part of the technology behind Apple Maps, and so purchase the company would be a logical step.

How long Facebook will earn from ads?


The ads are in the foreseeable future will be a fundamental source of revenue for Facebook - says Marcin Brus from the Polish branch of the company. However, the question arises: how long this model will be profitable?

The fact that Facebook needs to find an effective monetization model is said to be from the time when the first rumors announcing the imminent debut, the social network created by Mark Zuckerberg. IPO's been hailed as a success, but then the company's share price fell by half (now hovers around 27.5 dollars. Per share), which raised further doubts about the ability of business managers Facebook. "The old truth" is also true that Facebook can not cope in the segment of mobile devices.

- The ads are in the foreseeable future will be a fundamental source of revenue for Facebook - says Marcin Brus office of Polish Facebook.
Making the commercials is a business model which is based on all media. In this social media. Over the last few decades he worked flawlessly. The end of the first decade of the twenty-first century has shown, however, that too much dependence on revenues from advertisers could have disastrous consequences, as painfully on her skin felt paper newspaper. In times of crisis and economic slowdown, every dollar spent on advertising is viewed in detail and often returns to the portfolio rather than sail to the media.
- Relying exclusively on the business model of advertising revenue is not the best idea. Therefore, the entire ecosystem develops Facebook games and invests in mobile - says Artur Kurasiński, investor and blogger. - I can imagine a situation in which Facebook introduced fees for additional services, but it would have to be something really "super, hyper and extra" - adds Kurasiński.
Keep a good balance
When it comes to Facebook to find a good business model relies to a significant extent on finding an effective model of serving advertisements - on the line with revenue on the one hand and tolerance users on the other. An important factor is also the brands that want to advertise on a portal Zuckerberg.

- That's how long Facebook will earn from ads depends on how you will be perceived by the brand. Coca-Cola rather not need Facebook, which itself points out, but there are companies that without it they can not function - says Michał Bonarowski, a specialist in digital communications.
Facebook declares that maintain an appropriate balance between the efficiency of the business and the user experience is at the heart of the company.
- Smart prepared and targeted ads are not considered by users as undesirable content, but as part of social history, which follow an interactive magazine which wants to be on Facebook - says Marcin Brus. - Very carefully follow the reactions of users to commercial content. We have no alarming signals - provides.
Video and mobile is a key
In addition to maintaining an appropriate balance, seeking an effective model serve ads on Facebook are also the exploration of new media - video ads and commercials in mobile'u.
- Facebook is definitely a "mobile company", but that perception could be obliterated by, let's be honest, not the most perfect mobile application - frankly admits Martin Brus.


The fact that Facebook really is a "mobile company" is to provide, among others. the introduction of Facebook Home, which overlays Android mobile operating system, which is intended to make some smart phones can become a long-anticipated "Facebook phone". Zuckerberg's company is also developing its mobile applications - the "traditional" Facebook and Facebook Messenger, which is always improved the function ChatHeads.
Read also: Facebook Home, which is run ahead
The purpose of these procedures is actually one: an introduction to the company offers the best of targeted and how "najprzyjaźniej" display ads on mobile devices.
- Facebook still has to make up the gap with the competition when it comes to mobile. Mobile can be crucial for the company if it is true that the ads displayed on mobile devices are more accepted by users and better monetyzują - says Michał Bonarowski.
Recently, it became too loudly about the fact that Facebook reportedly plans to introduce a new advertising format, the video ad. Apparently, users could not watch more than three ads of this type daily.
- Video ads are the product desired by advertisers. At the moment there are no official reports, to which I could relate to, but I can assure you that if we introduce a video ad is not compromised user experience - and Marcin Brus.
Advertising eternally alive?
The media industry is increasingly hear that the business model of relying solely or largely on revenue from ads is a simple way to kill a business in the long term. But not all share the same opinion.
- Revenue from advertising is a business model with good prospects, and his criticism is based on a misunderstanding rather the fact that the stream is not shrinking, but shifted to more efficient channels. Facebook thanks to the "big data", the demographics, behavioral, context is next to Google and Amazon ads champion - says Michał Brański, co-founder of o2.
Read also: Facebook - a good place for the naive?
This view is also managers Facebook. - The potential of the advertising market is still very large. The experience of other companies show that it is not uncertain revenue stream. - Says Brus.
- All possible data show that the business model based on advertising revenue is declining. Banners, which has long had died were still alive - is echoed by Michael Bonarowski Brusiowi.
About how long Facebook will make a profit from advertising in the long run will decide one key factor: the effectiveness of ads presented in this social network. Theoretically, the company is in the hands of all the advantages that translate into skutecznść facebookowego marketing.
- The advertising market is going towards solutions that allow you to precisely target your ad to a specific group, and easy to measure its effects. Becoming increasingly important remarketing and "trade data". Facebook has all the elements needed for a puzzle: a huge range, unlimited knowledge of the users and is constantly developing tools to measure, so we can expect further dynamic growth - says Mariusz Gralewski, creator of such services as GoldenLine and ZnanyLekarz.
- There are many examples showing that Facebook just helps generate sales - adds Marcin Brus. In Poland, the most famous example of the effectiveness of advertising on Facebook is the company Złotewyprzedaże.pl, which had once wrote in "Forbes". Other examples, which boasts of a service Zuckerberg are successful advertising campaigns conducted by companies such as British telecom O2 and Vodafone or Volvo.
Everything indicates, therefore, that the rumors of the death of Facebook business are slightly exaggerated and even at least for the next few years, the company has secured a place at the spring in advertising.

Facebook Home is of great interest. The question is whether we will actually use it


New Facebook Home - a special launcher's largest social networking site on Android - has been downloaded more than half a million times. And in just a few days.
Facebook Home was released in Google Play store on April 12. At first they could be installed only residents of the United States. But on April 17 Facebook possible installation launcher worldwide.

And it turns out that from April 12 Facebook Home has been downloaded by users of Android phones over 500 000 times. It's a pretty good result - especially considering the fact that the Home can be installed only on selected Android devices, not on all models. The problem may be that the application gets then rather weak assessment of the application store Google Play.

I use Facebook Home by less than a week. I still think that:

- The content of Facebook presents great

- A new feature in Messenger or chat heads, is the perfect solution

- Navigate the phone after installing the Facebook Home at the beginning it gets a little complicated. Especially if you set a screen lock code.

- Do not know if Facebook Home stay long on my phone. Besides the fact that just looks nice, it does not imply a specially high added value.

So the question is - how many of the 500 000 who have downloaded the application on your phone, it will continue to use it after two weeks.

Facebook has released its servers prosecution


For the first time in its history, Facebook has released the main servers in California and access to the data obtained from the prosecutor's office in Milan, ws. pedophile investigator from Italy, who urged portal minors to send pornographic images.
Media pay attention to the uniqueness of the decision of the popular social networking site to which the application referred the Italian justice interested write access to online chat between a pedophile and girls below 14 years of age and exchanged files.
The investigation concerns 50-year-old Italian, coaching girls' volleyball team, already sentenced to 11 years and four months in prison for three acts of pedophilia. According to the court he has been guilty of using the Facebook, a much larger number of offenses against this background that require further action. Therefore Milan judge has decided that it is necessary expertise Informatics. This and require access to the Facebook servers and record all contacts pedophile. According to the preliminary findings of his victims fell at least a dozen girls.
Media revealed that the procedure for obtaining the consent of the heads of agencies were involved in the American FBI and the U.S. Embassy in Rome. Facebook Positive response is the result of the fact that pedophilia is in the United States considered a federal crime, and therefore was not taken in this case, consider the issue of possible privacy violations.
It is noted that there is an expert author Loris Calipari, a cousin of the Italian intelligence officer Nicola Sismi Calipariego, mistakenly shot by U.S. soldiers during the release of hostages in Iraq in 2005.

Facebook gearing up for video ads

The largest social networking site still has problems with earning from ads, so he invented himself that the best idea to maximize profits, video ads will be published on the portal user profiles.


Media reports that Facebook is currently in discussions with various advertising agencies on the partners for the new video service ads, which wants to start in late June and July.

Unofficially, it is said that such ads will appear in the news are on our wall and have to play in an amount of at least 3 per day. Facebook hopes that the new system can become a real gold mine and bring even $ 4 million profit per day.

For social networking, this is certainly great news. Users rather less of this fact will enjoy, especially if they sit silently on Facebook at school (which makes a lot of people), and suddenly you hear a roar from the advertisement.

Facebook Home on any smartphone with Android - thanks to hack



You are delighted to Facebook Home? Regret, however, that your smartphone is not on the supported list? Something can be done about it.
Since April 12, U.S. users can download Facebook Home. What is it? As Joanna Sosnowska wrote:

From now on, Facebook for Android will be available not only from the application. This will happen at the same time the main screen and a window that will wyskakiwało when using different applications.


Facebook Home has officially work for the time being only on selected Android devices (including HTC and Samsung Galaxy First SIII). This fact is not to the liking of many people. But there is good news - XDA Developers forum members have found a workaround. More specifically theos0o found.

Are you interested in a hook that allows you to install the Facebook Home on any Android device? Before we go any further, remember that this is not an official solution, you do so at your own risk. Is also not known whether the service will operate at 100% in Poland.

Having already behind us, here's how:

Uninstall the original applications, Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Facebook Home (if you installed it). If they are pre-installed, you'll probably have to, unfortunately, "rootować" phone.
Extract the files. Rar (you can find them here and here).
Install com.facebook.katana (Facebook application), then com.facebook.home (Facebook Home).
Install the com.facebook.orca.apk (Messenger).
Activate using Facebook Home Facebook application settings.
If you encounter problems, start the phone in recovery mode (recovery) and wipe Dalvik cache.
While Facebook Home should work after this process on any device with Android, it is worth remembering that the lack of support can mean that the overlay operation will be slow and faulty. Well, it is worth considering whether we really want Facebook Home - a new program does not collect too good ratings.



Facebook Home works on almost all devices, not impress, but there are alternatives


Facebook Home went on Friday to play, almost immediately after his release appeared on the Web telling instructions on how to install the application on other than "selected" by Zuckerberg smartphones. On XDA you can find the files, and if the manufacturer does not permanently joined Facebook software, you do not need to install the device rootować Home. But is it worth it?

Users are not thrilled Home. At the time of writing this article, the application had an average rating of 2.3, 1864 of 3930 people found it 1 star. Why? The opinion issued on Google's store can be concluded that users simply do not want to part with their home screens and widgets, and Home offers enough configuration options. Proved troublesome transition to the application responsible for the phone calls and all activities not related to Facebook require more action. Some users say that they love Facebook, but that does not mean that they want to look at it every time I take the phone in your hand. I also have people who appreciate the ease of viewing the information, display photos, new notifications and minimalism, but they are in the minority.


Meanwhile, in the United States started selling smartphone HTC First of Home on the board. To Europe will come from the distribution of Orange, so there's a good chance that you will come to the Polish market. Price will be around 450 euros.

If someone is missing Facebook on your smartphone, but the Facebook home is too much, you can use one of the alternatives. Facebook and Twitter on the home screen launcher can expose SO.HO. Photos from Facebook and Instagrama the wallpaper can show PhotoWall. Play the Google technologies including screen locking interesting Quick Launch Social Lockscreen, you can also add Facebook to DashClock. There is also interesting widgets.

How to install Facebook Home on the smartphone with Android?


Facebook Home arouses a lot of interest among people who make intensive use of the possibilities of this most popular social networking site. For now officially have the ability to install only some users. How to install the application on your Android smartphone?


Facebook Home was presented along with the HTC First - in both cases there were leaks, which indicated that the Prime Minister is already really close. So far the availability is quite limited - opportunity to buy the first model of HTC's Facebook Home to only customers in the USA (network AT & T), and access to the application in the Android Market (and hence the ability to install) are the owners of several models.



Facebook for Android Home

So far, Facebook Home is only compatible with models of HTC One X, HTC One X +, the Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung Galaxy Note II. Theoretically, these are very popular models of smartphones, but the rest of the owners of Android devices must show patience. An attempt to install Facebook Home on other devices ended errors or incorrect operation of the program.

Quite surprising, however, is that some of the holders of such HTC One X, the Galaxy S III is facing serious problems with the proper functioning of the application, despite the fact that it should be fully compatible - most definitely not work notice. The good news is the fact that independent developers have prepared a Facebook Home so that it can be installed also be available for other devices.

Installing the FB Home

If you have an Android smartphone simply download and unpack the archive here all APK files. Before installing them, it is necessary to remove the Home Facebook application, Facebook Messenger, and Facebook Pages. After unpacking the downloaded files install programs - com.facebook.katana, com.facebook.home, then com.facebook.orca.apk, which is available here. After this process, we should be able to incorporate the new interface in the application settings on Facebook. If you have problems starting, you need to restart the device. If you are still not working as it should, you might want to delete the dalvik cache, but in this case, we need to have root and install recovery.

Facebook will put icons to express your mood


A new kind of emotes going on Facebook. The first users have already have them on their profiles. See how they look.

On the web there have been reports of Facebook users, who observed in their profiles completely new feature, namely a special emotes for the determination of what kind of mood we are now.

So far they are only available for the users, but we can expect that sooner or later they will come at all. Emoticons will be able to add status to tell friends that you are happy, sad, tired, etc.





It is possible that new emoticons for Facebook will be a tool for more precise targeting advertising tailored to your mood. And it is certainly not all will like it.
A new feature Facebook used to express the mood for the first time we've heard in February. Then there was, however, only during the closed beta, and now beginning to realize the normal users. And that means only one thing: the new is coming.

Facebook introduces categories of partners


Facebook introduces categories of partners in the U.S., simple tool for marketers of any size targetować ads to wider audiences.
For example, a local car dealer can show your ads to people who live nearby and are looking for a new car. Until now, advertisers can display their ads based on user interests disclosed. Now, after the partner category may also serve ads to users based on purchasing decisions.

Categories partners use the data provided by companies such as Acxiom, Datalogix or Epsilon. Facebook, partners, and advertisers do not share any personal information. As with other advertising products, marketers know only the size of the target group and do not have access to any personal information on this category.

Facebook Home is paid. What is it?


Today, April 12, Facebook will make official its launcher for Android devices - Home. For all waiting impatiently for the new service, I have one message - be careful what you are installing.
Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook Home service last week and I must admit that I am intrigued. The presentation of Home looked very nice and brand new chat facebookowy, pop in a variety of applications can be simply very comfortable.

Zuckerberg announced that Facebook app update for Android is available at Google Play April 12. So, today. So I sit in the morning and look over resources Google's app store, and every now and then check if the update is already there (hint: it still does not have).

Update might not have, but I found the Facebook app Home, available on Google Play for $ 1



Honestly Program has been prepared by Facebook, Inc.. I read the description of the program - yes, just waiting for these functions in the morning. Screenshots can confirm - just about the Facebook Home is all about. So why the application is paid?

This question is only one answer: because it was developed by Facebook. Just look at the descriptions of other applications developed by service Zuckerberg:

- Programs such as Messenger, prepared by Facebook. No Facebook Inc..

- The right one Facebook is labeled as Google Play as a "Top Developer". Such designations are other trusted companies such as Google, Spotify or Disney. Facebook Inc. has no markings


- If you have not enough to look at the "For Developers" at the alleged Facebook Home. Contact and website developer in any way did not like of facebook.

So be careful what you are installing. 1$ it's not a fortune, but it is not worth giving a cheat. The more that the alleged Facebook Home "weighs" only 1.03 MB.

These cases remind us of defects open Android. Finally, Google app store does not carry any pre-verify that the programs themselves, or programmers. Application can throw back any. As the example of Facebook Home - sometimes run the risk of not only this, the application will simply failed. We run the risk that someone will want to extort money from us.

UPDATE

It seems that a fake Facebook Home probably has already been removed from Google Play. Enjoy quick response from Google employees, but we have no guarantee that such fraud will not be repeated in the future yet.

We just had time to get used to the timeline on Facebook, and here again we endow change! The first page of the world's largest social networking site to be more pictorial. This means that images, graphics and videos will now be much larger in proportion to the rest of the page elements


- Stories around us deserve to be the depicted not only as a text - said Mark Zuckerberg, head of Facebook. What does this mean? Photos, graphics and videos will be much larger in proportion to the rest of the page elements.

According to TVN, it also has to be entered several parallel "feeds," or streams of messages. Currently there is only one, in the future, they display next to each other at the same time information about activities such as friends, post their pictures and some information from such business profiles. Users have the flexibility to set up these streams. Facebook has to be a more readable on mobile phones.
