Facebook is a social field superpower

Nearly 500 million users of Facebook is the world's largest social network. Microsoft's social networking business is not smooth. Microsoft said MSN is a social networking site, but actually more like a portal instead of MSN social networking site. Microsoft acquisition of Facebook can improve the social networking market share and credibility.

Increase advertising revenue

Microsoft to Facebook to provide Internet search services; the two companies have just jointly launched Docs.

Facebook will be the competition between Microsoft and Google and Apple's ultimate weapon. • well-known blog Mark Cuban (Mark Cuban) said, "Facebook understanding of the user's personal information, photos, friends, employers and business partners, and now, even the users like what other sites, Facebook is also crystal clear.

Maybe Apple and Adobe Flash applications in the conflict so that we forget the support of other phones are not good for Flash. Not very good at least for now.

However, this situation will change later this year. Google Android operating system to support the main engineer Andy Rubin said the code-named "Froyo" The Android 2.2 version will fully support Flash. Be noted that, "New York Times" reported this argument is that when an interview with Rubin's interpretation of his words, not direct quotation.

Rubin did not specify which of Android phones will be upgraded to version 2.2; also did not say "Froyo" will be released when. Thus, many older models may also not support Android phones Flash. Adobe and HTC mobile phone models in the Hero's Flash cooperation more slowly, sometimes not very stable. Android 2.2 versions might provide a better experience.

Through the cooperation with Google, Adobe will own mobile features submitted to Valley singers. When Apple earlier this month, effectively blocking the Flash application in the iPhone when the operating system, Adobe said we should focus on development for the Android device.

Rubin also said Apple does not want in their mobile platform and a closed ecological system to support Flash conducted covert attack. He said that opening up does not mean what consumers actually like to take a radical approach.
