Most recently, Facebook was under criticism again, this time for theautomatic uploadof private photos. Frustrated users are ready to start paying for the privacy they could

Many reluctantly gave up Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Instagram and Pinterest. The truly worried encrypted their home computers.

Companies like Facebook and Google are looking into using drones and satellites to provide internet connectivity to remote corners of the world where installing internet cables is especially difficult.

For example, in the wake of Facebook s purchase of Oculus Rift, the amount of job postings for virtual reality designers skyrocketed,

By contrast, Facebook alone attracts 166.5 million uniques per month. Here is the big difference:

the average dwell time at Facebook, the super-sticky social network, is nearly half an hour.

Facebook which was said also to be in acquisition talks#with Titan Aerospace has focused on developing drones and satellites as a means for beaming Internet connectivity to more people.

#Facebook and Google are drooling over drone companies Last month it seemed as if Facebook would acquire the long-range solar-powered drone maker Titan Aerospace

and use its technology to deliver Internet to remote areas of the world. It was ostensibly a hedge against Google balloon-driven Project Loon and the possibility that Google,

rather than Facebook, would connect the ext billioninternet users. Today that picture is opaque at best.

Google not Facebook is buying Titan Aerospace, and Facebook has acquired a different U k.-based solar-powered drones startup called Ascenta.

And an answer to the question of how exactly the two Silicon valley giants will leverage their new technology?

while delivering connectivity to far-flung parts of the globe is advantageous for both Facebook and Google,

For Facebook, the incentive is simple: catch up. Rival Google has been developing a means to provide Internet connectivity to remote regions of the world for years now through Project Loon,

Facebook isn breaking new ground by getting into commercialized drone technology, Bünger says, just keeping up. oogle has been working on the autonomous vehicles, the Nest acquisition,

Facebook knows that if it wants to remain a major presence in the emerging Internet of things, it will need to extend beyond software and into hardware.

which have given Facebook some trouble in parts of the developing world, particularly where the company has attempted to negotiate ero-ratedeals that allow customers to use some of Facebook offerings without it counting against their data plans.

If Facebook does follow through with its ambitious plans to connect the next billion people through Facebook-owned Internet drones

Facebook can not only bypass mobile carriers that don want to play ball, but also push those new users toward Facebook offerings like its recently acquired messaging app Whatapp.

But one oft-overlooked area where UAS technology could really be a boon for Facebook is in data moving the other direction.

Right now, Facebook owns mountains of data on its users, but relatively little on the parts of the world that aren connected already to Facebook.

Comparatively, Google acquisitions and exclusive deals with third parties provide it with everything from the rich trove of geospatial data that powers Google maps to the energy use

and living habits of those using its Nest smart home technology, providing a far more robust picture of the world

and a wider range of services it can provide. With a fleet of UAS in the sky, Facebook could begin gathering its own proprietary geospatial data, aerial imagery, traffic data,

meteorological data information that it could then integrate into new products or sell to companies that need it,

and other companies threaten to do, at least with regard to drones. or Facebook and Google and those guys,

At $20 million, Facebook found its way into the drone space for a third of

both of these drone acquisitions by Facebook and Google; a lot of this technology that has to do with wearables;

Following Facebook s $20 million purchase of U k.-based aerospace company Ascenta which has been working on the development of unmanned,

solar-powered aerial drones for the past few years Google acted fast to usurp an expected bid by Facebook to also acquire Titan Aerospace.

a source close to Google said that the company offered to top any offer from Facebook for Titan Aerospace.

Solar-powered drones are an attractive proposition to company like Google and Facebook because of their reliability and stability in often adverse weather conditions.

However, a source close to Facebook has revealed that the social media giants had been reviewing Titan Aerospace s solar-powered drones some six months ago,

#Compulsively checking Facebook will now include impulse shopping Facebook will soon start looking more and more like an online shopping mall.

The social network said Monday that it is adding a new mobile"shopping"tab where you can buy clothes, electronics and other items without ever leaving Facebook's confines.

Like many of Facebook's most recent efforts, the goal is to cut down on slow loading speeds

Facebook is hoping that the smoother experience will make mobile shopping more attractive to web surfers,

"Facebook wrote in Monday's announcement.""Customers can experience slow load times and too many steps on the way to checkout.

"Facebook first began testing the new shopping features with a limited number of retailers back in July.

Mobile advertising is Facebook's fastest growing revenue area by far; last quarter it accounted for 76%of the social network's $3. 8 billion total ads revenue.

Facebook has been fervently trying to change that with ads that place more emphasis on prodding users into taking action

#Facebook says drones could help extend internet access around the world A fleet of solar-powered drones could help provide high-speed internet to people around the world who currently live without it,

."Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a post on Thursday, paired with a photo of an early prototype drone soaring over Palo alto,

a U k.-based company that Facebook acquired in 2014. Despite Facebook's obvious enthusiasm for the project, it's still in the early stages of development.

The social media giant told the New york times it hopes to have a fleet of 1 000 drones,

And that's to say nothing of the red tape Facebook would have to manoeuvre to get a fleet of remotely controlled aircraft in the skies around the world.

as witnessed by the recent death of Google+as competition for Twitter or Facebook. It is the market shift to mobile

Simultaneously, Facebook announcements showed just how strongly it is continuing to dominate both social media and mobile,

The#1 site for social media and messenger apps is Facebook, by quite a large margin. But, Facebook 2014 acquisition of Whatapp is now#2. Whatsapp has doubled its monthly active users (MAUS) just since the acquisition,

and now reaches 800million. Growth is clearly accelerating, as this is from a standing start in 2011.

Facebook Messenger is#3, just behind Whatsapp. And#5 is Instagram another Facebook acquisition. Altogether 4 of the top 5 sites,

and the ones with greatest growth on mobile, are Facebook. And they total over 3billion MAUS,

growing at over 300million new MAUS/month. Thus Facebook has emerged already as the dominant force, with the most users, in the fast-growing, accelerating, mobile and app sectors.

Just as Google did in internet search a decade ago, beating out companies like Yahoo, Ask jeeves, etc.

Facebook is monetizing its market leadership position Google is moving rapidly to monetize this user base.

From nothing in early 2012, Facebook mobile revenue is now $2. 5b/quarter and represents 67%of global revenue (the inverse of Google revenues.)

Further, Facebook is now taking its own programmatic ad buying tool, Atlas, to advertisers in direct competition with Google.

Google $17. 3b Q1 2015 revenue is 30 times the revenue of Facebook. There is no doubt Google is growing,

Meanwhile, Facebook is positioned squarely as the leader, without much competition, in the next wave of market growth.

Facebook is monetizing all things social and mobile at a rapid clip, and wisely using acquisitions to increase its strength.

As these markets continue on their well established trends it is hard to be anything other than significantly optimistic for Facebook long-term.*
