    Game changer on Facebook

    Posted by Gene in Social Web

    Gary Vaynerchuck gives us a sneak peek at some Facebook functionality that they are testing that big users like him get to preview before the rest of us. By the way, if you don’t know who Gary is yet, check him out, a lot of what he says is simple stuff but it’s really good to hear.

    Looks like Facebook is going to make the social timeline more public, allowing you to interact with other users who you may not be friends with. Not sure how that’ll work, most likely it’ll get released for groups and pages first - where it makes the most sense. The ability to look at other people (who you don’t follow) and review their posts and comments then choose to follow/engage with them has long been Twitter’s advantage over Facebook. It’ll be really interesting to see how all this actually comes out.

      I’m not big on closing off my profiles and making them private but I don’t think I would want random people chiming into my status updates. I could see this getting weird and annoying really quickly. The openstream is the charm of twitter but facebook has the charm of being ONLY your circle of friends. I don’t think I want Gary V. commenting on my wine hangover.. haha

      Yeah, it’s a bit of a total changeover on how Facebook works, I hope they don’t lose focus of what makes FB what it is as they get overly obsessed with competing with Twitter…
