The social networking giant facebook is planning to get to the next level. The rumor is that facebook is about to launch something big at the developer conference f8 this week. With the social music service on its way the facebook is trying to service the social and personal contents better. The team is about to introduce few more buttons based on it’s earlier ‘LIKE’ button. The new ones will flash ‘READ’ , ’LISTENED’ , and ’WATCHED’ on the wall. And from the commercial perspective a WANT button could also come up.
This new step has been taken mainly to make the news feed a more detailed one. With all these new buttons the users view towards any action can be viewed more precisely.
It is quite obvious that the till now favorite ‘LIKE’ button could lose its importance. The like that flashed on the bottom of every blog or article or video etc could get replaced by the specific new buttons. And it is unclear that what facebook will do with all these data. But from commercial business point of view this could be very encouraging. New brands, retailers, entertainment companies etc could get a lot of benefits from this.
All this might sound like facebook’s infamous beacon project. But nothing can be said and analyzed until these buttons com up on your wall. The real achievement of these buttons will be if and only if people ‘LIKE’ it.
