Facebook announced a conference on which it will present the new features that will become available in the upcoming year. TechCrunch is talking about an ‘auto connect’ option, a Facebook toolbar, and one I find really exciting: a ‘like button’ for the entire internet. This way, everywhere you surf, you’ll be able to like things you come across. In my opinion this only shows how ‘hot’ it is to speak your mind about simply everything. People want people to know what they are thinking and when they’re thinking it.
TechCrunch cleverly adds that these innovations are part of Facebooks’ ‘quest to take over the web’. Soon every website in the world will be leading you back to facebook, and on every website, you’ll be able to start chatting with your available Facebook friends.
I’m convinced that these features will become a great success. I’m also sure that this will make Facebook an even bigger (and richer) player in the SNS world. It will only make things harder for other social network sites that are trying to gain awareness and get more users. Unless maybe they get ‘like’-ed a lot…
