Just recently, Facebook added real time search and @tagging to its rich collection of features, followed by the launch of Facebook Lite.
On the other side, Twitter is not just watching. It has announced several upcoming upgrades: Project Retweet, Geolocation Tagging and Statistic Tools for Business.
If you are keeping up with Facebook’s evolution, you would notice its keen adoption of features from other social media sites. With that, Facebook has nothing to be ashamed of (not that they are). In fact, Facebook is the leader of social media partly because of its willingness to embrace ideas that are not of its own.
So what’s next, Facebook? Could it be one or more of the 5 possible features that we thought of?
1. Trending Topics
Facebook has always been eyeing on Twitter’s features. With @Tagging in place, trending topics might well be next on the list. It is the easiest way to find popular news and the most talked about items. With the input of 250 million users, Facebook’s trending topics could be far more accurate than Twitter’s.
2. “Retweet”
Currently, Facebook allows you to share what your friends have posted but it doesn’t acknowledge them. An integration with its new @tagging could work. Here’s a photoshopped mock up: Notice the inclusion of “via PennOlsonPage” and “Share Count”.
The “repost” count is definitely working for Yahoo Meme right now.
