Facebook create a Political Action Committee


Facebook seems that the performance for the most "friends" in Washington, with the creation of a new Political Action Committee. Zuckerberg and company have limited to, submit the necessary papers with the Federal Election Commission. This allows the company to donate to candidates broadcasters believe their cause.

"FB PAC give our employees the opportunity to present their voice in the political process by supporting candidates who share our objectives of promoting the value of innovation in our economy, to divide the people the power to hear and the more open and connected. "the company said in a statement.

This result comes at an opportune time for Facebook introduced, because of all the privacy and security as a result of the new features in the F8 conference. Facebook has often been criticized by politicians for their policies regarding the privacy of users. If not careful, could Facebook to suffer from a rigid regime.

The PAC donated $ 5,000 candidates in every election Facebook, plus $ 15 000 per year for their holidays. Google already has its own PAC and have donated more than $ 300,000 to various candidates in the 2010 elections, the medium term.

Facebook could reach that number, or maybe even more. His interest in the political arena is growing as the economy grows, and this is only a partial picture of the PAC. It's been a lot of money to political heavyweights through the maze of politics in Washington was able to rent maneuvers. Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, for example, was formerly the Chief of Staff Larry Summers, Clinton Treasury. Facebook also has people who worked for President Bush and President Obama.

This development may have some influence, such as Facebook is free to implement its policy in the coming years and thus a factor in the privacy and security of its users.

When all is said and done, Facebook is simply a company to protect its own interests. This is not the only member of the Silicon Valley who are more involved in the mater DC.

Chronology of Facebook: Applications Open Graph for review before publication


One of the main causes of the problems is to be the focus of the social network for Facebook applications.

The developers have downloaded a lot of freedom in the interface and can be almost anything you want. The result is a surplus of applications, including junk mail overload not only flows, but also the profile of the person. Facebook, the result has been attention to this problem and in fact, I thought some solutions.

If the function of the timeline beginning next few weeks, Facebook launched a new system, which allows you to check and approve the applications opens Graphic manually before they are allowed to have a place in the new schedule. The entire process will be similar to Apple's method of approving applications before their application in the App Store. It is used a great difference to the order to publish the developers what they want and not have the time to consider these applications when you claim.

Even if you can still remember, Facebook at the moment around 2008 to 2010, you remember that Facebook, so applications have used a firm place in the profile of a person. For example, those who have played Playfish Pet Society Restaurant City or allow the application to a small box on their profiles, where the characters depicted, along with information such as character levels, items, etc. Also install some applications showed that a individual books, places, went to the person who reads, etc. However, there are cases in which users no longer use the applications themselves but not to delete the profile, making it irrelevant at best. Finally, Facebook has decided to ban the applications that make them perfect, rather than to saturate the profile of a person.

This time it is permitted applications for a place in the new profile will have, but it will not be permanent. To increase the chronology shows the recent activity of a user, so users should stop means with an application, then gradually over time and the user is no longer active.

The review process will ensure that these applications do not release information to the minute. For example, if you Spotify is enabled, the information "is the song that you have the most in the last week," just as, in contrast to all the songs they heard. As an example, we can be sure that our program is not full of spam.

Facebook is sure to encounter much resistance and the time of publication of the schedule of inspection and the users an enjoyable experience when using the well could mean the difference between warm and cold rejection.
