#Long term Investors Should Prefer Facebook to Google Last week saw another slew of quarterly earnings releases.
which support owning Google or Facebook. Google prices keep dropping, even as growth slows in oremarket Google once again reported higher sales and profits.
And that is a good thing. But, once again, the price of Google primary product declined. Revenues increased because volume gains exceeded the price decline
which indicates that the market for internet ads keeps growing. But this makes 15 straight quarters of price declines for Google.
Due to this long series of small declines, the average price of Google ads (cost per click) has declined 70%*since Q3 2011!
While this is a miraculous example of what economists call demand elasticity, one has to wonder how long growth will continue to outpace price degradation.
which allows Google to place more ads in more specific locations for advertisers via such automated products as Admob, Adexchange and Doubleclick Bid Manager.
But such computerized ad buying relies on ever more content going onto the web as well as ever more consumption by internet users.
Further, Google revenues are almost entirely search-based advertising, a category Google dominates. But this is largely a PC-related sale.
Today 67.5%of Google ad revenue is from PC searches, while only 32.5%is from mobile searches.
Due to this revenue skew, and the fact that people do more mobile interaction via apps, messaging apps and social media than browser,
and Google is making more money, it is possible to see that growth is slowing.
And Google efforts to create mobile ad sales outside of search have failed largely, as witnessed by the recent death of Google+as competition for Twitter or Facebook.
It is the market shift to mobile which creates the greatest threat to Google ability to grow;
certainly at historical rates. 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,
Altogether 4 of the top 5 sites, and the ones with greatest growth on mobile, are Facebook.
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.
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.
Only Atlas places ads on both social media and internet browser pages a one-two marketing punch Google has cracked not yet.
Google $17. 3b Q1 2015 revenue is 30 times the revenue of Facebook. There is no doubt Google is growing,
and generating enormous profits. But, for long-term investors, growth is slowing and there is reason to be concerned about the long term growth prospects of Google as the market shifts toward both social and mobile.
Google has failed to build any substantial revenues outside of search and has had some notable failures recently outside its core markets (Google+and Google glass.
Just how long Google will continue growing, and just how fast the market will shift is unclear.
Technology markets have shown the ability to shift a lot faster than many people expected, leaving some painful losers in their wake (Dell, HP, Sun microsystems, Yahoo, etc.
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.*

#Youtube Now Lets You View And Upload 360-Degree Videos Youtube has announced that it is now supporting 360-degree video uploads.
Some of the cameras that are compatible with Youtube 360-degree video uploads include Bublcam, 360cam by Giroptic, Allie by IC Real Tech, the SP360 by Kodak and the RICOH THETA.
This means that viewers can watch videos in any direction for a different perspective instead of just where the camera is facing.

If you are using the Youtube app on an Android device then you can pan around the video simply by moving your smartphone and tablet around.
As of right now, the 360-degree Youtube videos are supported by just the Chrome browser on the desktop and the Youtube app on Android devices.
Youtube said that 360-degree videos will be supported on other platforms in the near future like the iphone and ipad.
Youtube also has plans to make the 360-degree videos accessible through virtual reality platforms, which is the best way to view immersive content.

Youtube plans to make the process of uploading 360-degree videos automatic, but that script will be required in the meantime.
Keep in mind that the quality of the 360-degree videos are not as high as we see in the standard Youtube videos.
And the 360-degree videos take up about four-to-five times the bandwidth of regular Youtube videos.
Youtube set up a playlist of some 360-degree videos so that you can see multiple examples.

#Google just became part of a new company called Alphabet Today Google, the company, is smaller
while the Google universe seems to be expanding with the announcement by CEO Larry page of a new umbrella company called Alphabet,
which will include a stripped down Google focused on search and Internet products and other companies like Calico operating as subsidiaries of the new company.
The announcement came in a post on the Google company blog by Page that is also cross-posted on the new,
In essence, what yesterday was Google today is called Alphabet, but under the umbrella of the new name is owned a wholly subsidiary that will still be named Google focusing on Internet products.
Alongside the new, smaller Google within Alphabet will be a number of other companies working on disparate projects like the aforementioned longevity company, Calico,
a life sciences company working on a glucose-sensing contact lens, the lab formerly known as Google X and investment arms Google Ventures and Google Capital,
just for starters. Page will be CEO of Alphabet and Sergey Brin will be President. Sundar Pichai, who has been in charge of products at Google,
including Android, Chrome and Maps, will be the new CEO of the new, stripped-down Google. Although Page doesn't say so specifically,
it seems that some of the company's biggest properties like Android and Youtube will remain a part of the smaller Google.
Normally news of what is basically a corporate restructuring isn't so interesting except that it involves a company that is,

#Google logo history: A trip through search engine's gradually smoothening logo Google just launched a new logo the first major redesign in years,
and a reflection of the changing nature of the search engine in all of our lives. But the site has been on a gradual evolution
since it began in 1998, slow shedding the design of years past and becoming more smooth and less objectionable.
At its beginning, Google wasn called even by that name t launched as ackrub That site had a rather obvious picture at the top:
It became Google in late 1997. The look was a little reminiscent of Word Art of old:
At that time, the site was just as youthful. It was still functioning largely as a search engine for Stanford university,
as well as the web, and offered an explanation of what it was at the top with a little text box underneath.
Google also briefly got an exclamation mark in 1999. It disappeared a year later. That shouting logo would be the last very different one that the site would have.
Until today redesign the site stuck by its formula: two blue letters, two red and one yellow and one green, all in an entirely unobjectionable serif font.
The company would gradually change that look, moving letters around, softening the colours and getting rid of shadow,
