The user base of Facebook has
already touched a billion in the recent past and the social networking
giant is having a valuation of $240 billion but this stupendous growth
story is not all that important compared to the great futuristic
projects the company has for the users. Yes, over the years Facebook
developed itself as a brand that is more intent on adding or creating
value for the users and taking leads with an array of user friendly
features. Here we explain top 5 upcoming projects of Facebook.
UAVs for providing network in remote areas
This is viewed as one of the top future projects of Facebook. For quite
some time Facebook is planning to provide internet network in remote
areas for its users with the help of UAVs. Recent speculation about
Facebook’s buying of solar powered drones only confirms that. For
sometime under the banner of Facebook.org the company is trying to bring
internet connection for everybody around the world. Though it is still
not clear how various nations would take these drones from the point of
view of security, the move is supposed to leverage far greater access
for the brand.
Facebook is launching soon its own news reader service that shares the
news contents shared by the users. This new Flipboard like news reader
feature is developed with a view of making its mobile app more popular.
The shared news published on a mobile friendly visual design format can
help the readers to track potential news of their interests. As per
latest reports, the project has found particular favor from Mark
Zuckerberg and the design is planned keeping high end mobile devices in
mind.
Work based social network sites like LinkedIn for some time giving
Facebook a bit of competition, especially among professional people. To
address this finally Facebook is going to launch a new version of its
site keeping the demands of work based social network in mind. According
to reports, this new website of Facebook dubbed as ‘Facebook at Work’
will offer an array of workplace features like chatting with colleagues,
connecting professional contacts and collaborating with official
documents. Even though the version has been rolled out for official use
it will also allow users to keep their personal profiles. Expectedly
enough, the move will create new viability of Facebook for the
professionals and office users. This is one of those future projects of
Facebook which is capable of enhancing its reach even inside the so
called forbidden territory right now.
