You're watching multisource tech video news analysis from Newsy.
Talk about your textbook techie-tease. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg tells reporters he’s about to launch “something awesome.” Two things reporters can’t stand: not knowing, and not telling. Here’s TIME’s Techland.
“Analysts are guessing .. it'll be about the long-awaited Facebook iPad app....Also rumored...is Facebook's mobile photo sharing app, known as its ‘Instagram killer.’ But could Facebook have something else up its sleeve?”
Ok, so if Zuck has a penchant for the dramatic, is it news? Ah, one must understand the nuances of this news, says The Next Web.
“Why the speculation from Seattle? We’ve come to know that this same team is the one that built Facebook’s unified mobile site, so a mobile app makes perfect sense… it’s high time that we see a dedicated app for the social networking giant.”
PC Mag says, tease aside, Zuck talking tech gives reporters a chance to guage his temperature reading of the cyber waters. Namely Google+.
“One of the best things about Google+ - or the dumbest, depending on who you ask - is Circles, Google’s way to separate the user's social life into different buckets, depending on the user's preference.”
Something Facebook doesn’t have yet, at least that we know. Besides, GeekWire notes, Facebook isn’t worried about competitors. It’s looking to grow. Think that’s impossible? Imagine this.
“...every year on average, the amount of stuff that a person is sharing roughly doubles. This means that five years from now people will be sharing 32 times as much stuff as they do today and in 10 years they’ll be sharing 1,000 times as many things as they do today.”
Want a wildcard? AdWeek has one. Facebook could be about to change the way you watch TV, and it quotes Facebook Exec Andy Mitchell.
“If you look at the program guide [as it stands now], you’re trying to figure out what to watch among five hundred channels. It’s really hard...But think about a program guide where you see what your friends are watching, that changes the experience.”
