Is Facebook Prepping Up Something Against Google Analytics

If you are maintaining a Facebook page, you might have received an email from Facebook containing a summary of the activities that happened in the past on your Facebook pages. This started last week, and a couple of hours ago I received another email again.  While the page analytics contain just some basic data about your page's activities, its interesting to know that Facebook actually compiles all these activities. And makes you think whether this might be the start of a bigger traffic analytics product.

Well, Nick of All Facebook thinks so when he noticed that Facebook's latest Javascript libraries suggest that Facebook might be preparing to roll out Insights beyond Facebook and this might be discussed during the f8 conference happening in San Francisco.

Using the following  API call developers will be able to track various types of event, says O'Neill.

FB.Insights.impression(
{
api_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
lid: 'EVENT_TYPE'
} );

What remains a mystery though is whether this will be integrated in individual websites or will be a part of an enhanced "Like" feature in Facebook.

Is Facebook planning to launch a new product that will compete with Google Analytics? Something that would go beyond what Facebook Insights being use to track activities on Facebook Fan Pages, perhaps? We might know soon.

Google Receives Overwhelming Response to Call for Fiber Network Host

With the deadline for Google's call for request for information on various communities to host their fiber network project already closed, Google has reportedly receive 194,000 individual responses and around 1, 100 community responses.  That only goes to show that people want Google to build its fiber network project no matter what the stakes will be for their communities. Or is it more because of the fact that Google's presence will bring more positive impacts to the community than the negative ones?

The Official Google Blog is also reporting how flattering some of the RFIs that Google received were. Some are through YouTube videos, public rallies, and even Facebook groups.  And over the coming months, Google will be reviewing all the responses to determine where to build possibly its next biggest project. Site visits, meeting with local officials and consulting with third-party organizations will be conducted until Google has finally selected the community where the fiber network will be hosted. Hopefully, this is before the year ends.

Google plans to build the foundation for its broadband network that could reach as much as 50, 000 communities and around 500,000 people.

Here's a geographic representation where those responses received by Google came from.
