Facebook

Welcome to my blog. In Today's blog I want to show you some few more things you didn't know about Facebook

Welcome to the Facebook Blog...

In 2019, Facebook managed to be the king of social media platforms. Facebook posts boosted engagement and helped brands promote their growth beyond measure.

With the number of active users worldwide reaching 2.4 billion. Facebook can give you access to a massive audience who use the network to communicate with their friends, but who also ‘like’ their favorite brands and hope to learn something new.

When you tell people you work at Facebook, they want to know more; why we made changes, what we're doing next, what the people are like. We're starting a blog so everyone can get a close-up view of what we're doing every day to make Facebook happen. We'll update it regularly, with different people posting about new features or sharing what's been happening with us. In general, come here to get a better sense of who we are and what we're up to.

Now you can write Notes on Facebook. You can also import your blog from another site.

We didn't want to start blogging until everyone else could, so we waited until we launched our own version of the blog — Notes. If you're already blogging, Notes allows you to import your blog from another site, so your blog and all of your friends' blogs are all shown on Facebook for easy viewing. Notes also enables any of you that aren't bloggers to write out thoughts on any topic and incorporate them directly into your profile. If you're curious what your friends have already said, click here.

You can see all your friends' latest posts, and read all the ones about you.
Notes is one more way for you to connect with the people around you and keep up with friends. You can tag your friends so they'll know what you've said about them, and you can upload photos to illustrate just how great — or terrible — something was. We've been working really hard to bring you Notes, so we hope you like what we've done.

Facebook is asking users in the US to participate in a voluntary survey from Carnegie Mellon University to help health researchers generate new insights on how to respond to the crisis, including "heat maps" of self-reported symptoms. Some people will see a link at the top of News Feed to an optional, off-Facebook survey to help health researchers better monitor and forecast the spread of COVID-19, the social networking platforms said in a statement late Monday.

"This information can help health systems plan where resources are needed and potentially when, where and how to reopen parts of society. If the results are helpful, we'll make similar surveys available in other parts of the world," said Facebook.

Facebook said the Carnegie Mellon researchers will not share individual survey responses with Facebook, and "Facebook won't share information about who you are with the researchers".

As part of eData for Good' programme, Facebook offers maps on population movement that researchers and nonprofits are already using to understand the coronavirus crisis, using aggregated data to protect people's privacy.

Google is also offering user location data to help public health officials spot increase or decrease of movement across high-level categories of places such as retail and recreation, groceries and pharmacies, parks, transit stations, workplaces and residential areas. Health officials can go to the 'COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports' website, pick the country and download a PDF that charts the community movements.

Facebook's over Rs 43,000 crore investment in Jio Platforms would help Reliance Industries (RIL) in its movement towards becoming a zero net debt company by March 2021, a Credit Suisse report said on Monday.

"Deal cash flow would help RIL bring down overall net debt and help to move towards its target of achieving zero net debt by Mar-2021," the report said.

Facebook would acquire 9.99 per cent stake in Jio Platforms with an investment of Rs 43,574 crore.

Other than the reduction in debt, Reliance Industries would be benefitted on the technological front.

The report noted that the large user base of WhatApp could significantly accelerate adoption of the JioMart app.

It further said that Facebook has commercialised multiple VR devices and has video calling device like Portal. Both can work well with Jio's broadband offering and Portal can also work with Enterprise solution, it said.

On the benefits for Facebook from the deal, Credit Suisse said that its partnership with the largest retail player in India would strengthen its commerce offering. Further Jio's ready telecom infrastructure would be the backbone for Facebook's new age products.
