Watch Out, Twitter: Face book Patents ‘News Feed’

The patents and exclusive rights granted to face book at this week could turn out to have immense implications and propositions for the current week’s ‘news feed’ and also on the other social networking web portals.

The grant and exclusive right, which was initially reported on all the face book blogs is for ‘dynamically and enthusiastically providing a new feed about a user of a social networks’. This kind of news feeds are particularly critical, crucial and decisive to most of the web portals, providing the social networking services, typically including LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter, Google Reader. However, this has not been made clear that the patent rights would be applying to all these social networking websites or there would be just some of them.

Face book’s news feed has changed number of times from the time when the patent rights were filled in the year 2006, which did not include some of the features of face book’s system. Nick O’Neill at face book says that the exclusive right does not include the status updates and postings, and twitter would not be following under its umbrella. As an alternative, he says that the patents would be covering the news feeds, which will be based upon actions, such as adding up a friend or joining a group. However, such patents would still be affecting various social networking sites. For instance, much of the activities occurring on LinkedIn are related to career, employment actions, and opportunities but not to status updates.

Face book’s official statements did not shed the lights that on which parts of the news feed might be including the copyrights, or whether if face book is planning for enforcement.

The launch of the ‘news feed’ was a pivotal and essential moment in face book’s history in the year 2006. It was useful in changing the way millions of people discovered and consumed information on the networking websites. Face book feels humbled by the adaptation, modification, and growth of ‘news feed’ with the passage of time and pleased when awarded with the exclusive rights.

Face book has always made this obvious, clear, and apparent that it does not appreciate imitators. Now, it will be taking some action about them. The social networking website must be allowed to sue and charge those who violate the copyrights for streaming the news feeds technology. The feed, lambasted when face book rolled out in the year 2006, and now is a model, which has to spread to the social networking websites all over the World Web such as for sites like twitter.

The social media tools have evolved over a period of time like the one we used to be die-heart fans of Orkut then came MySpace, followed by face book and finally twitter. The experts say that 2010 would be the year of Google as they have already introduced Google wave and buzz, which are intending to break and beat the market records of social media networking.

After Numerous Shake-Ups, is MySpace Dying?

It is remarkably difficult to believe now that there was a time when MySpace was the most popular and prominent social networking web portal in the world. After getting some faltering popularity and internal shake-up, MySpace is now more than ever is headed straight for the pavement and face-first. It is known as the latest reinvention effort known as ‘Discover and be Discovered’ as this may be MySpace’s last attempt to capture the attention and interest.

The new strategy adopted by MySpace aims to morph the networking portal into a go-to spot to find new, engaging and entertaining media. MySpace wants to shove into different things such as people, games, music, articles, trailers, movies and many others, and also now the applying the latest strategy, the status updates will also be appearing in the Google searches. This is done to support the users of MySpace to come up with an immersive and engaging learning experience when compared to the static blah of face book, apparently.

MySpace has always been a different place to people to discover things. The core concepts are customization. Self-expression and personalization. More functionality and products can also be expected which can make it easier for users to learn and discover the things they have been looking for and also to get discovered to those who matter to them. The plans are ambitious having the social networking roots and are registered as a recommendation engine than any other.

The attempts failed, as re-imaging the MySpace was not the concept. Though, MySpace music turned out to be as a fresh gush of oxygen and developed itself as a lucrative spot for indie vocals and bands so that they could broadcast and transmit their tunes and get discovered on this social networking portal. However, at the same time, MySpace suffered a media related failure as online video and audio streaming became excessive over the Internet, nevertheless, MySpace experienced a decline in viewers. It is rather truly pathetic that one of the most popular and favorite online portal could not foster attention any more. One other failure attempt was remarking MySpace, overhauling almost everything from the website changing the user interface.

The stiff competitors crushed MySpace and face book was of course huge. The statistics reveal that face book had a 200 percent increase over the last year and is being the most favorite social networking website. On the other hand, twitter is also growing exponentially. As per a rough estimate, there are around 50million tweets each day, making 600 tweets every second. In the meantime, MySpace has fallen the 55percent market share, and half of it is acquired by face book now.

MySpace is considered as dead by now and is buried deep down for most of the world. The mighty duo of twitter and face book actually killed it by the year 2009. Now, people have been deactivating their MySpace accounts and switching to face book or twitter and some of the other social networking mediums immensely.
