Next On Facebook: Facebook OS
I'm peeping at the crystal ball again, and here is a forecast for the month to come.
Of course I could be completely wrong, but at least that's good discussion material.
Look at what the others are doing: I've written about it already in my chapters about the "Internet Wars" (there is a tag for it, if you want to dig in).
Here is, again, how can today's web giant's "estate" can be summed up: The three main actors are now Apple, Google and Facebook. While Apple doesn't do social yet (and it would be wise for them to keep it this way unless they want to become the next OVI network) , Google is trying hard.
Google is also, of course, engaged in the "real world" market race with Android, Chrome OS and , in fact, since Chrome Browser.Facebook is still 100% online, but it might not last long. When you see that Facebook's search is topping Google's, you can think that they got the job pretty much done with, and it's time to think about expending.
Who said Palm? Perfect timing?Speaking of who goes down and who goes up, Palm is not really having fun lately. They are selling. it's not a news anymore.
Not everybody want them, but someone could be more than interested...guess who? So, Facebook OS or Facebook Hardware?Maybe both, actually. Why not? A Facebook OS on a Facebook branded hardware, with GPS and Camera, so you can upload everything about yourself without effort, and with, for Facebook, the greatest control over their API. That's another chapter about the internet wars, stay tuned, this year is definitely interesting.
