New Facebook Search Engine

I have heard rumors that there is a new search engine in the works. Supposedly a Facebook.com based search engine. That is all I really have on the matter. But what a rumor that is... wow.

A Facebook search engine would be huge.


My source is a friend I know personally whom is a rather successful online marketing and advertising consultant.

He admitted, if I am remembering it correctly, that he can not validate it with any certainty (I have to say that he could have been referencing the fact that he had no real details) but I could tell that he believed it 100%.

Did not ask his source, but he has some rather high end contacts, I have always been impressed by him.

I can't help but speculate how it may work. Would it leverage profile popularity, friend volume, or what?

I really am curious to find out more. No doubt there would be major shock waves through out the online search industry.

I have a strong premonition that it will be a separate domain, and separate entity though no doubt under the facebook.com and Microsoft umbrella.

If anyone knows or has heard anything about this please leave a comment or something. I am so curious.

A new search engine based off facebook.com seems like a product and online tool that could really add some value and unique ability and more importantly usability. Such a tool would have the leverage of a perspective that no one, including Google, can use or offer. I suppose MySpace.com has an argument to object to that statement but lets be honest with ourselves, they don't.

This new search engine from Facebook could really take from the Google market share.

I suppose it would take from Bing.com but that would only be important to Yahoo.com because Microsoft would be the beneficiary of the facebook.com search engine revenue from advertisers.

Hmmmm....

Very interesting.

FaceBook.com - Tagging the Net – One “Like” Button at a Time

FaceBook.com has and will continue to connect people, places, and things. They now plan to unveil a new simple gizmo that will add websites and web pages to that list. Face Book is providing a free tool to websites every where called a “Like Button”.

What is the Like Button?



The “Like Button” is a button that will be featured on a web page that allows the user to simply click and the link with some sort of teaser summary to and of the web page will be posted automatically to the users face book page profile and the news feed you always encounter.



Sound Small and Simple?



How satisfying is that never ending stream of friend requests from folks of the past?



There is at least 400 million users out there who know what I am talking about. 400 million is a big number. To put that in perspective the population of the United States is just above 300 million. To add even more perspective consider the following (employers with internet accessible work environments may want to look away)… these users are on face book an average of 3 1/3 entire days on facebook.com!! This is the equivalent of two weeks of a full time job with zero lunch breaks.



Now just imagine the traffic surge this tool can provide both Face Book and the off-site websites. This will have a big impact.

I think that this will help boost advertiser interests in using facebook.com as a advertising medium and should eventually boost ad revenue indirectly. Only one billion plus in revenue is expected from FaceBook.com in 2010.
