When will Facebook notifications get smarter?

technology

Why Facebook nofitications are dumb? More than one person comments on a link/photo/status and each of their notifications are displayed seperately… So when I view my notifications, I see something like this:

facebook notifications

But I know that most of these “likes” or comments are for the same item. If I click each of these notifications, then I re-open the same item a couple of times. But the reality is just like this one:

So if more than one person liked/commented on an item, why show them seperately Facebook? It should be just like this image I modified on…

I want to find out which of my links/posts/statuses are commented or liked in a more smart way. Now they all seem like dumped into my notifications page… This is clearly not the best way to do it…

Facebook iPhone App still buggy

mobility, technology

Last week Facebook released an updated version of its iPhone App. (Release date is wrong, I don’t know why…)

Facebook says: “This update improves stability and fixes a number of bugs, including:” (see screenshot below)

However after a week I can say that the Facebook App is still as buggy as before. It freezes, stops refreshing, do not download some photos, crashes etc…

Hope they can release another update soon to fix these issues… By the way, thanks to developers they at least fixed the wrong timestamps issue.

What will be the next Facebook or Google?

business life, technology

This is the question I have been asking to myself for the last couple of months. One may argue that if Facebook is as big as Google. My answer to that is “not yet” but I strongly believe there is a huge opportunity for Facebook.

Anyways, what I am really interested in is a rather small company, which has a huge potential to grow like Google did. Obviously in these days it may not be logical to think that you search about a trend, find a company, see the opportunity, join the team and be one of the first people in that company. Once you find “the company”, it would be filled with lots of people like you and you would be looking for another “one”.

Here is the answer of that question from TrendWatching: “Believe us, if we knew, we’d be working on it right now.” Absolutely! Why won’t they!? I’d too…

Their sugestion is simple: “create the Next Big Thing yourself.” I totally agree with this. However, simply agreeing with an idea does not make it easy to happen, right? You have to think smart, work hard and do it ASAP! The “next big thing” will not stay there until you find it!

I don’t know what will be the next Google yet, but I have a few thoughts on what could be “the next Google’s area of interest”. I’ll post about this soon… :)
