Facebook appears to be taking steps in the right direction as the social network plans to give its community of 350 million users to keep a check on the crowd connected via the social network. While using its users is nothing new, but giving the same users a chance to actively monitor the network. Sounds interesting and quite a positive move from Facebook.
The social network is presently testing Facebook Community Council and as the name suggests would be made up of Facebook users. The purpose? Well for the first time in ages Facebook is actually taking initiatives to put out a more democratic image of itself as it gives users more powers to administer the community. Now isn’t that taking the step beyond and making users have a sense of ownership of the platform and get actively involved in administering (in some manner) the site as Facebook expands into an ever larger network; for which the task of monitoring becomes an impossible task for its workforce of a thousand employees.
