The Facebook has grown in every way to an extent that it wont be wrong to call it the default name for everything Social. There is no stopping the social network and the predictions for the future are as bright as ever. It is interesting to note how the network has grown and the persistence with which it continues to do the same. Coming to the point, the yearly conference called the f8 conference and the third one.
There will be too much to talk about in the third one that is to take place in 2010. Facebook has come a long way, beginning first in 2007 when the platform launched with 800 developers and the same conference will now be talking about a platform that has more than 500,000 applications and over 300 of them boast having 1 million users. That isn’t it, the use of Facebook has expanded in numerous ways. For instance there are more than 60 Million people that connect and interact using the Facebook Connect across 80,000 sites on the Web (including ours). And that is not it, applications developers have utilized the platform to not only muster millions of users but also bring those developers loads of funding (Zynga grabbing $180 Million, for one). And it surprises one even less when investors are willing to flood in with their cash and grab the shares of the social network.
Those are just a few examples prior to the f8 that gives the social network to boast a lot about. Looking forward to the conference which is scheduled on April 21-22, 2010, I wonder the features they will be talking about. I definitely think two of them would be its much awaited virtual currency and then the Geo-Location, which I think will be a great addition to the social network.
