Recently, Facebook has conducted Initial Public Offering (IPO) event on Wall Street to discuss about the company’s progress and new ideas. As per reports from Kayla Tausche of CNBC, the meeting held has resulted in a new progress of trading debut for Facebook. The report from Tausche further stated that the meeting gathered at the company’s headquarters had gone unnoticed due of some factors.
In any company, there will be two typed of meetings, one for research analysts and another for the bankers underwriting the IPO. But in this event, they combined both the meetings into a single one which was held at Menlo Park, Calif. Even though members from both teams were present at the venue, for some legal reasons, they were not allowed to express their thoughts. There is no proof about what happened during the meeting or what analysts had expressed. But Tausche expresses that the talk would be on red flag raised by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the company’s prospectus filing. This is because the SEC wants more detailed information of Facebook’s revenue stream and also about company’s resources that are available for handling its operation.
Based on reports from Wall Street journal clearly states that one key member of Facebook family did not attend the event. The report further clarifies that it was Mark Zuckerberg who did not join the other members on this particular day. The company’s financial officer offered Mark’s excuse for his absence saying that he was busy working to improve the service offered to his customers.

For a person who wants to be a narcissist can make use of Facebook as a tool to spread their anti-social thoughts. Facebook acts as a bridge to provide unwanted relationships and emotional communication among unwanted persons, says a recent study that was done by Professor Christopher Carpenter from the Western Illinois University. The study has been published in official journals of the International Society for the Study of Individual Differences. According to this study, the Professor defined narcissism as an admired state, disorder state and an increased sense of self-appraisal.
Using a Narcissistic Personality Center, Carpenter and his students surveyed 292 college students to measure their behavior in promoting Facebook – updating status, their photos, updating profile information, as well as seeking support from people for anti-social activities. The research also states that when people don’t respond to their activities these students get angry and post negative comments as their status. People who promoted themselves on Facebook got high scores i.e., by tagging them in photos and updating their news feed frequently. These people also have a high number of friends on their profile and are also related to negative self-promotion from various sources available on the site.
Finally, Carpenter said that to overcome the negative side of Facebook, it is necessary to conduct various researches for better understanding in improving the beneficial things and reducing the harmful aspects arising via the social networking site. Earlier, social media sites including Facebook and Twitter were criticized for acting as a vehicle for useless relationships and for the recently mentioned aspect of bullying people.

The POKE feature on Facebook is as old as Facebook itself, but it seems that Facebook still doesn’t know what it really means. The help page on Facebook does not offer a concrete definition of POKE and maybe that’s why they decided to hide it behind a pile of menus. Yes, that’s true. The POKE feature on Facebook is now discreetly hidden inside a drop-down menu where it would not be easily visible.
Facebook is supposed to come up with a new design for the site and there also, the POKE option remains hidden from viewers. The most pertinent question is why doesn’t Facebook get rid of POKE completely? Maybe there are a lot of people who really like this option and maybe it’s a great way to send messages to people when you don’t want to go for online chat.
It seems that Facebook itself is trying to figure out the popularity of POKE by letting people find it out from behind a pile of menus.

Facebook is launching three new chat programs: new chat design, video chat with skype, and ad hoc group chat.

New design will make chat look better on wide screen monitors. There is now a side panel which shows you the people that you chat with the most and if they are online. This shows up on wider screens. The video chat with Skype works the same way video chat works in the Skype program with web cams. The ad hoc group chat allows Facebook users to create a group chat without having to create a Facebook group.

The big announcement, though, centers around the Skype-powered video calling, which is now available in Facebook. This feature is browser based inside of Facebook, and it provides access to one-on-one video chatting. Also, with this application, you will be able to leave your friends video voicemails if they aren’t available. It is both asynchronous and live.

It is likely that people will compare Facebook video chat with Google+ Hangouts, which is Google+’s answer to group video chatting. While Google+ Hangouts offers a group video chat, Facebook only offers one-on-one video chat. However, most people seem to use video calling services for one-on-one chats, at least currently.

Facebook creator and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has been talking about how he thinks the next five years will be about social applications being built within and on top of the infrastructure that Facebook has built in social media. Zuckerberg calls this “the first example of a great social app.”

No one knows where Facebook will go next with these kinds of applications or the next big idea that Zuckerberg will come up with to help make Facebook more social than it already is, but you will be sure to see some competition from Google+.
