Facebook Is Said to Work With HTC on Mobile Phone for next year 2013
Facebook Inc.owner of the largest social network, is working with HTC Corp. to build its own smartphone for release as soon as mid-2013, people with knowledge of the matter said.
The companies had intended to release the device as early as the end of this year, and pushed back the timetable to give HTC more time to work on other products, said some of the people, who requested anonymity because the plans aren’t public. Facebook is also developing a modified operating system for the device and has assembled a team of former Apple programmers to improve its iPhone application, people said.
More than half of Facebook’s 900 million users access the social network via mobile devices, while none of the $3.15 billion in advertising sales last year came from ads on phones. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg could use a Facebook phone, with social-networking features built-in, to woo marketers and assuage concerns dragging on the company’s shares.
“Usage is shifting to mobile, and they have not been able to monetize mobile,” said Victor Anthony, an analyst at Topeka Capital Markets Inc. “To the extent that it’s a device you own and carry around with you at all times, and it ties into the Facebook experience, it will be beneficial. They could then put a lot of ads onto the platform.”

While most of the users of other countries use desktop or laptop to communicate with each other, the Indians are using mobile phone from the very first time, according to her.
Reddy said: “Because if you think about it in US, most of the people started on desktop and moved to mobile. It isIndiathat is causing us to rethink our model. Because many people are going to Facebook first on mobile and they might never go to desktop again,”
At present in India users can use Facebook in eight different languages. “Globally, we have 300,000 users that contributed for translation of local languages. Translate tool is open for a few other languages,” said Reddy.
She said Indian parents were helping their children, below 13, to access Facebook and other social networking site.

Facebook Groups Start Showing Exactly Who Saw Each Post :New feature gonna add soon
These “read receipts” is a feature Facebook recently added to Messages and Chat, and that has historically been found in some private email and SMS services. Bringing them to more public social feeds is a bold step.
They’ll certainly simplify coordination in Groups and remove the need for “did you see that?” messages. But will read receipts come to the news feed? Some users might find that very creepy.

Oracle continues to add social media muscle with Involver deal
Oracle Corp said Tuesday it had acquired social marketing firm Involver, notching the third deal in as many months in a red-hot area for enterprise software makers.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
San Francisco-based Involver, founded in 2007, provides tools for developers to create advertising campaigns on social media networks such as Facebook.
"Companies are looking to harness the full potential of social media to increase brand loyalty, connect with potential customers and anticipate buyers' needs," Oracle said in a statement.
Oracle, the world's No. 3 enterprise software provider, has aggressively fleshed out its social media capabilities in recent months, beginning in May with a deal for Vitrue, a social media engagement service. The following month, Oracle acquired Collective Intellect, a social media analytics company.
Even though Facebook's troubled IPO in May cast some doubt over consumer social media, deals in the enterprise sector have continued at a scorching pace.
