			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>It&#8217;s actually fairly easy to get more friends on Facebook when popular tips are used. One that comes to mind as a favorite among many is to visit any friends you do have and start clicking on their friend&#8217;s pages and requesting them as your friend. Don&#8217;t worry &#8211; there is nothing unethical or immoral about it, in fact it&#8217;s a very common and encouraged method, especially if the main purpose of having the account was to meet new friends.</p>
<p>Doing searches for long-lost friends, old boy- or girlfriends, or lost relatives may produce some surprising results and get you back in touch with some of these people. Once they are found, there is again the potential of gaining all of their friends for your own as well. Just leaving a short and sweet note on their wall and all their friends&#8217; walls should bring a flood of new friends to your account.</p>
<p>There are a lot of individuals that are very involved with their choice of causes and they start a group so that others with the same interest can join and they can all come together over this common cause. This will open up an entirely new avenue of potential friends and offline friends too that will want to keep in touch with each other.</p>
<p>There are many other activities like fan pages, games, and other hobby or lifetime passions like gardening, animal fanciers, and many more possible ways to get more friends on Facebook. There are also other links to other interesting spots within Facebook where you may find other features to appreciate and of course find even more new friends.</p>
<p>Most of these applications and options may be self-initiated, meaning if you have a cause you wish to start the option is there. If you wish to start a group about a certain subject such as breast cancer as there is now in reality, you have this option too. What will happen is the more the word gets around the website platform the more will join if interested, therefore bringing in even more potential friends.</p>
<p>Because of spamming guidelines and the no-spam laws it is vital that if any promotions are to be done that those rules are read thoroughly and are understood to prevent problems in the future. This is to protect each and every member from being bombarded as that is exactly what would happen if these measures were not taken. With there being many others genuinely interested in similar subjects, the sharing amongst yourselves can be done safely within those guidelines.</p>
<p>Over the years this amazingly popular social platform has developed into a huge success and for an assortment of reasons. Family members can keep in touch while pictures taken the same day can be posted for all to see. Grandchildren can be born and pictures can be immediately posted for relatives to see in a matter of just minutes. Videos can be posted and help make up for having to miss the event and being the next best thing to being there in person. Introduction videos can also help to get more friends on Facebook.</p>

Check out this source on how to <a target='_blank' href="http://usocial.net/blog/3-guaranteed-methods-to-get-more-facebook-fans">get more friends on Facebook</a> right now and how it can benefit your business.</p>

<div class="fblike_button" style="margin: 10px 0;"><iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fworkwithdavidwood.com%2Fis-google-plus-out-to-engulf-facebook%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:25px"></iframe></div>
<p>Unless you&#8217;ve been hiding under a rock in the Middle East for the past few weeks, you should have come across Google Plus (G+ for short). It&#8217;s the &#8220;talk of the town&#8221; among all the social giants and technology blogs out there. It&#8217;s even hit the Internet Marketing crowd pretty hard. So I figured I don&#8217;t have much of a choice but to write this article. So what the heck is Google Plus all about and why should you care?</p>
<p><strong>Well&#8230;</strong> Google Plus is essentially Google&#8217;s own social network. Google&#8217;s been referring to plus as just a &#8220;project&#8221;, yet it&#8217;s rapidly becoming the fastest growing social network on the planet! Yep, Google&#8217;s finally done it. The guys behind Google have been working on a social network for the past year which has finally been released to the public. It&#8217;s pretty groundbreaking news and if you&#8217;re marketing your business online, you need to seriously pay attention to what I&#8217;m saying.</p>
<p>From what I can tell, Google plus is Google&#8217;s &#8220;reaction&#8221; to Facebook and Twitter. As we all know that Google has been trying to take over the Internet lately. Google also seriously hates Facebook and Twitter, along with all the other social networking sites. If only I had the chart of who&#8217;s suing who in the social network world. Seriously, everyone is suing everyone, it&#8217;s quite funny.</p>
<p>Anyway, to combat the other social Giants Google&#8217;s launched Plus which definitely stands out from the crowd. Will it stand a chance of defeating the one they call Facebook? I don&#8217;t know. However, it has some crazy potential. With already over 10 million users, it&#8217;s officially the fastest growing social network ever.</p>
<p>In all honesty, I can&#8217;t see Google Plus directly competing with the top dog Facebook. It has some great concepts and all, but the layout &amp; the fact that its Google makes me cringe. We all know Google as a search engine and nothing else. So if Google Plus does explode, I&#8217;m sure it will take some months to years of transition before the world sees Google as a social network.</p>
<p><strong>Google Plus SEO:</strong></p>
<p>Yeah, without a doubt Google will be incorporating Plus into its search engine algorithm. We all caught on that Google was using social data way before they told us so. The truth is that Google&#8217;s been using sites like Twitter and Facebook as &#8220;indicators&#8221; for a long time. Basically&#8230;</p>
<p>The more shares and tweets your content has, the better it will rank in the search engines. That&#8217;s one way of putting it, but the social side only accounts for a tiny part of the algorithm. I fear that one day it will account for a lot more! I guess it&#8217;s nothing to fear as long as you have quality helpful content that people actually enjoy reading.</p>
<p>For those of you who run crappy websites with content &#8220;written in India&#8221;, you&#8217;ll be the ones tossed into the &#8220;social sandbox&#8221; in a few years time. I can see it happening for sure&#8230; But as we all know, Google only changes its algorithm in baby steps. So we&#8217;ll all be ok if we stick to the rules and follow the guidelines.</p>
<p>So will Google Plus affect your rankings? Naa, you&#8217;ll be fine as long as you have decent content. I can only see Google using Plus as an indicator of the quality of one’s content. It&#8217;s common sense really. The more social activity, shares, re-shares and comments a piece of content gets, the better it must be. It will also be a great step in fighting off black hat marketers. Although I&#8217;m sure a tool will be invented to game the future social algorithm.</p>
<p>I can definitely see social factors playing a major role in Google&#8217;s search algorithm. Perhaps it will even take over the importance of backlinks&#8230; Just kidding, I&#8217;ll bet that&#8217;ll never happen. Still, you need to be aware that things are getting a little more social. Whether it&#8217;s too social for your liking or not, doesn&#8217;t matter. If you want to survive online and see your business thrive off of free search engine traffic, play along. Follow every move Google takes. Pay attention to detail and take action on all these little changes.</p>
<p><strong>I am still yet</strong> to play around with Google Plus, but I hear it&#8217;s awesome. You can check out the Google Plus home page right <a href="https://plus.google.com/">here</a>. I&#8217;d advise you to sign up and take a look around. Just know that Google&#8217;s Google and Google will do whatever it takes to be the best. So expect to hear a lot more about the new Google social network. Expect to have your inbox flooded with Google Plus marketing strategies. There&#8217;s bound to be hundreds of Google Plus marketing courses in the making as we speak.</p>
<p>As I am running low on time right now, I&#8217;ve decided to link to another &#8220;source&#8221;. Pam over at Pamorama compiled a list of the top 25 articles on Google Plus. You can find them right <a href="http://www.pamorama.net/2011/07/16/25-google-plus-resources-articles-reviews-to-help-you-get-started/">here</a>. There&#8217;s plenty of information out there on Google Plus, just about everyone in the technology/social media niche is talking about it. So checkout some of the articles for more info.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2039" src="http://css.workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/egerank.jpg" alt="Facebook Edgerank" width="140" height="140" />Facebook EdgeRank is Facebook&#8217;s brand new algorithm it uses to rank &#8220;stuff&#8221; on Facebook news feeds! Whether you believe it or not, Facebook does have it&#8217;s own complex algorithm it uses to rank stuff on user&#8217;s news feeds. What &#8220;stuff&#8221; am I talking about? Well, just about everything. From status updates to pages, even groups and videos too. Why would you be interested in Facebook EdgeRank? Well, it&#8217;s an algorithm sort of like Google&#8217;s. <strong>And</strong>&#8230; there are over 600 million Facebook users, if you knew how to appear at the top of Facebook news feeds, imagine how much traffic you could rake in!</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s a Facebook news feed? The Facebook news feed is like the home hub of Facebook. Situated in the home of Facebook, the news feed gets a phenomenal amount of traffic. The news feed displays recent and popular content from user&#8217;s friends and friends of theirs. The feed&#8217;s content consists of: tagged photos, videos, notes, friend requests, status updates, pages, groups, responses to events and other stuff. What the news feed does, is update people on what their friends are up to. That&#8217;s the whole idea behind it.</p>
<p>There are two parts of the Facebook news feed. <span style="text-decoration: underline">Most recent</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline">top news</span>. Both are completely different and EdgeRank can only be applied to top news, for obvious reasons. By default, users are shown top news. Apparently, it&#8217;s said that around 50% of users choose to see most recent over top news.</p>
<p><strong>So how do you use Facebook EdgeRank?</strong> Basically, in order to rank well in Facebook&#8217;s news feed, you need to use Edgerank ranking factors. There are actually a ton of Edgerank ranking factors, but you only need to focus on a few of them. We will cover the main Edgerank factors in a minute.</p>
<h2>Edgerank Factors:</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2038" src="http://jsbb.workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/edgerank.jpg" alt="Facebook EdgeRank Ranking Factors" width="362" height="127" /></p>
<p>There are a bunch of ranking factors, probably a lot more than we are aware of. However, Facebook have actually announced their EdgeRank algorithm. Kind of crazy considering marketers have spent years trying to figure out Google&#8217;s algorithm. While they have announced their Edgerank algorithm, I am certain there are a lot more factors than what&#8217;s been said. So this is what Facebook say, right from their website:</p>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div><strong>How does News Feed determine which content is most interesting?</strong><a></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>The News Feed algorithm bases this on a few factors: how many friends are commenting on a certain piece of content, who posted the content, and what type of content it is (e.g. photo, video, or status update). You can read it on the official website <a href="http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=16162">here</a>.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Sounds pretty simple right? Well it is, a lot less complex than Google&#8217;s ranking algorithm. Also, I have come to the conclusion that Facebook likes also play a big part in the EdgeRank algorithm. I actually found this really cool graph below. I don&#8217;t know who made the graph, but I found it <a href="http://antezeta.com">here</a>.</p>

</tbody>
</table>
<p>As you can see, there are a ton of factors. <span style="text-decoration: underline">Recency</span> plays a huge part in the EdgeRank algorithm. By recency I mean the age of the content. While new content like status updates or liked pages will rank really well, especially with a little activity&#8230; Activity seems to always outweigh recency. When I say activity, I mean comments, likes and even clicks. (engagement)</p>
<p>Now <span style="text-decoration: underline">engagement</span> is what plays the biggest role in the Edgerank algorithm. This has been proven time and time again. EdgeRank shares a few similarities with Google&#8217;s algorithm. They both want to provide interesting and popular content for their users. So obviously, the more comments and likes something gets, the better it will rank.</p>
<p>The <span style="text-decoration: underline">type of content</span> also plays a role in the EdgeRank algorithm. Photos, videos, status updates, groups, pages and responses. For obvious reasons, actual content gets a lot more attention than responses and even status updates. Although, a really popular status updates beats everything.</p>
<p>Just a quick word on <span style="text-decoration: underline">author authority</span>. Whether you like it or not, author authority plays a pretty large role in the Edgrank algorithm. This factor kind of sucks and will be a pain in the ass for some people. So what makes an authoritative author? Well, amount of friends and activity. Otherwise known as the relationship factor. This is what sucks for &#8220;unfriendly&#8221; marketers.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">User interaction</span>: Facebook rewards you for being active and building relationships with your friends. The more you comment, message and interact with a certain friend, the more likely your news will appear high up on their news feed. Basically, this means you need to constantly interact with friends by posting on their walls, commenting on their status updates and so on. Slight pain in the ass, but not that big of a deal.</p>
<p>Something else you should know about is the lifecycle of Facebook &#8220;news&#8221;. No piece of news will last forever. Unlike ranking on Google where you have an unlimited life span, Facebook news is sort of limiting. As users constantly update their profiles and post new content, it has to be seen. Pretty much all Facebook content is displayed in the news feed. There is just no way of keeping yourself &#8220;in the news&#8221;. However, you can definitely increase the life span of a certain piece of news. Simply by engagement which I explained above.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;font-weight: bold">Stuff to do:</span></p>
<p>If you want to take full advantage of Facebook&#8217;s EdgeRank algorithm, there are a few things you can do. Whether you run a blog, company website or whatever, you can definitely use EdgeRank to your advantage. It doesn&#8217;t even matter what you do, all that matters is you have a website that needs traffic. If you have a website, you can create a Facebook page for it. Or you might want to create a personal Facebook fan page, (all depends on your business really). Anyways, here are a couple of things you can do to stick around people&#8217;s news feeds for A LOT of free traffic and exposure.</p>
<p>1. <strong>Post regular quality content</strong> on your page&#8217;s news feed. This definitely increases author authority and increases your news&#8217;s lifespan.</p>
<p>2. <strong>You need likes</strong>! The more likes you get, the more popular your news will be. I&#8217;m sure you could game the system somehow, but getting likes isn&#8217;t tough. Be cool, post good content and the likes will just come.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Comments people</strong>! Now comments are probably THEE most important engagement of all. Why? Simply because they add to your content, they start conversations and <span style="text-decoration: underline">shout</span> popular. Best of all, comments can start viral conversations. Sometimes you&#8217;ll have a 50 comment conversation on your &#8220;news&#8221;. When this happens, you&#8217;ll get a ton of viral exposure.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Interact with friends</strong>. You must interact with your friends if you want to appear in their news feeds. Just comment from time to time. Unless you know the person, avoid messaging and posting on their wall. It looks unprofessional and is kind of creepy. (isn&#8217;t it weird when random strangers post on your wall?) LOL</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s pretty much all you need to know about Facebook&#8217;s EdgeRank algorithm. There are actually a bunch of other minor EdgeRank factors I failed to mention. Why? Simply because they aren&#8217;t that important. It&#8217;s like Google&#8217;s algorithm. People are always obsessed with every little detail. I mean, my stuff ranks pretty well, and I don&#8217;t pay attention to all of Google&#8217;s algorithm factors.</p>
<p>Even if some of the stuff I do contradicts with what other &#8220;SEO gurus&#8221; might say&#8230; I personally couldn&#8217;t give two shits. Do I stuff my content with keywords and header tags? Nope&#8230; <strong>And</strong> although people say that stuff is important, I like to stick to the basics. So pay attention to the big stuff and avoid the minor details. That&#8217;s what works for me and most definitely applies to Facebook EdgeRank.</p>
<p><em>To the TOP,</em><br />

<div class="fblike_button" style="margin: 10px 0;"><iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fworkwithdavidwood.com%2Fthe-facebook-registration-plugin%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:25px"></iframe></div>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2279" src="http://js.workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/facebookplugin.png" alt="Facebook Registration Plugin" width="232" height="124" />Ok</strong>, so there has been a lot of hoohar (yep, I said hoohar) about the new Facebook registration plugin. Now this thing is really cool and damn right powerful. A lot of you will have no idea what this plugin is or how to use it. So let me give you the definition right from<a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/registration/"> the Facebook page itself</a>. Why? Well I hate to say it but, I am feeling lazy and who is better to explain than Facebook themselves. (Don&#8217;t worry, I will explain in my own words after)</p>
<p>The Registration plugin allows users to easily sign up for your website with their Facebook account. The plugin is a simple iframe that you can drop into your page. When logged into Facebook, users see a form that is pre-filled with their Facebook information where appropriate.</p>
<p>The registration plugin gives you the flexibility to ask for additional information which is not available through the Facebook API (e.g. favorite movie). The plugin also allows users who do not have a Facebook account, or do not wish to sign up for your site using Facebook to use the same form as those who are connecting with Facebook. This eliminates the need to provide two separate login experiences.</p>
<p>Still have no idea what this thing does? Don&#8217;t worry, Facebook seem to have their own language LOL. So let me explain&#8230; Basically, this little plugin will allow you to build an email list and boost conversions big time. It can actually be used in a couple of ways, but for most of my audience here, they&#8217;ll want to use it for list building.</p>
<p>What this plugin does is allow people to sign up/fill in forms using their Facebook accounts. I wish I had a cool image to show you what im talking about here, but I don&#8217;t. (Sorry people) Anyways, think about it like this. The Facebook registration plugin automatically fills out forms for your visitors who are logged into their Facebook accounts.</p>
<p>The plugin uses Facebook data to pre fill online forms like opt in forms, surveys and so on. Just like at the top right of this page, you can see where it says enter your email and &#8216;get instant access&#8217;. If I were to use the Facebook registration plugin and you happened to be logged into Facebook at this very moment, the form would already be filled in. <img src='http://js.workwithdavidwood.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>See where I&#8217;m going with this? <strong>MASSIVE CONVERSION BOOSTS!</strong></p>
<p>Ok, for those of you who&#8217;ve been living under a rock for the last ten years, let me explain further. The aim of the Internet Marketing game is to build an email list. From there you can pitch your subscribers, feed them content and ultimately sell stuff. Now building an email list has always been tough.</p>
<p>The masters of list building who have lists in the hundreds of thousands&#8230; they really have money on demand. One email goes out to a list of say 100,000 people interested in a product they have, and BOOM, tons of money in their pockets. Ok, I think you get the picture. Email lists are huge, blah blah blah, you understand. LOL</p>
<p>So, boosting opt in conversion rates is huge. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of courses out there that teach people how to boost opt in rates. It&#8217;s a huge thing in the Internet Marketing world and of all people, Facebook have launched an amazing plugin for boosting opt in rates.</p>
<p>Think about it&#8230; If you&#8217;re on some dude&#8217;s landing page and you like his stuff. You&#8217;re about to opt in but, uh oh his opt in form asks for all kinds of boring stuff. First name, last name, email address, date or birth, social security number&#8230; (just kidding) LOL</p>
<p>Anyway, if the opt in form is really long, wouldn&#8217;t you be more likely to opt in if the form was already filled? Yep, that&#8217;s what Facebook&#8217;s registration plugin does. And&#8230; let&#8217;s face it, Facebook is taking over the world.</p>
<p>Everyone is ALWAYS logged into their Facebook accounts and there are over 600 million users. This means that the majority of your visitors are probably logged into Facebook while browsing your site. I honestly hope this makes sense to you, as it&#8217;s crystal clear to me.</p>
<p>So&#8230; your visitors are far more likely to opt in to your email list if the form is already filled out for them. Cool right? I have no idea why, but I am really excited about this. All I can say is that this plugin is going to be huge. Right now like no one is using it.</p>
<p>Probably because of Facebook&#8217;s terrible explanation of what it actually does. Anyways, that&#8217;s what it is, that&#8217;s what it does and you should be able to see how it can dramatically increase your opt in rates. Resulting in a pretty damn huge increase in customers too! Cool stuff I think.</p>
<p><em>In Prosperity,</em><br />

<p><strong>P.S. </strong>Please comment, share your thoughts, tweet, and share this with Facebook friends. It&#8217;s cool and ground breaking stuff. I mean, im sure an Internet Marketer could have sold this plugin for a fortune. <em>Don&#8217;t you just love Facebook?</em></p>

<div class="fblike_button" style="margin: 10px 0;"><iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fworkwithdavidwood.com%2Fa-historical-10-days-for-facebook-google-is-faltering-to-the-monster-at-last%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:25px"></iframe></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">The last 10 days were one of the most historic dates in the history of Facebook &#8211; and no one seemed to notice.  I&#8217;m going to show you a quick picture, <em>so you understand what I mean</em>:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://js.workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Screen-shot-2011-05-28-at-4.13.38-PM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1863" title="Facebook and it's 2 Years of catching up to Google" src="http://workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Screen-shot-2011-05-28-at-4.13.38-PM.png" alt="" width="487" height="317" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If you look at this picture (<em>click to enlarge</em>) this is the global Alexa score for Facebook over the last couple of years &#8211; you&#8217;ll see them as the big #2 &#8211; all the way back from mid 2009 when they passed YouTube as the largest social site online.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>If you don&#8217;t know what Alexa is</em> &#8211; I would go to <a title="Download the Alexa Toolbar" href="http://alexa.com" target="_blank">http://alexa.com</a> and download the Alexa toolbar &#8211; it creates statistics on various websites based on actual visitors, time on the site, bounce rate, and more.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>A few years ago</em>, people believed that no one could pass Google, they were too big &#8211; and in many respects, it was hard to argue with.  Google is the king of the search engines &#8211; but look at this incredible phenomenon that happened in the last 14 days (click to enlarge):</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://js.workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Screen-shot-2011-05-28-at-4.23.39-PM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1867" title="Facebook Passes Google at Last" src="http://workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Screen-shot-2011-05-28-at-4.23.39-PM.png" alt="" width="465" height="446" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>If you look at this one</strong> &#8211; you&#8217;ll see that not once, <em>but <span style="text-decoration: underline;">TWICE</span> in the past 10 days</em> &#8211; Facebook passed Google in world wide traffic for the first time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Don&#8217;t you feel like throwing a party?</em> Congratulations Facebook &#8211; you&#8217;ve beat down the man &#8211; twice, in a week &#8211; and no one has done that for five years.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So the question arises &#8211; <em>what does all this mean to your business</em> &#8211; and what does the future of the internet hold?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I&#8217;m going to make a few predictions, but before I do &#8211; <em>let me tell you why this happened.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The internet is a new evolution in human communication made possible only by the increase of technological advancement and world wide knowledge of energy &#8211; because it&#8217;s new and it&#8217;s so interconnected to everything that we do in our lives, it&#8217;s evolving and changing faster than any other kind of technology.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When Bill Gates had a vision to have a computer powered by Microsoft in every home in America &#8211; it was something to outright scold by looking at the 2 ton super computers that filled buildings to calculate basic Algebra, I still remember when the first game came out on my first PC in the late 80&#8242;s &#8211; we were pumped at the computer graphics of a little stick man running and climbing stick ladders.  I remember when I saw weird al&#8217;s movie &#8216;UHF&#8217; and the computer graphic seemed amazing when they played the song &#8216;Money For Nothing&#8217;, I dug it up on youtube to show you what I mean:</p>
<p><object width="529" height="397"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/P4SDhrTPOiI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="529" height="397" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/P4SDhrTPOiI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
<em> Now</em>, there&#8217;s at least one guy 20 years old or under reading this &#8211; who&#8217;s never seen that stupid movie, and thinks the idea that anyone could think those graphics are amazing is the most hilarious thing he&#8217;s read all week.</p>
<p><em>Just keep in mind</em> &#8211; I&#8217;m only 30.  Lol, shows how fast stuff changes.</p>
<p>Who could have imagined the kind of high powered crazy 3D graphics that we saw in Avatar last year?  Or that a 5 year old with a normal laptop can now out calculate all of the computers in the world in the 80&#8242;s?</p>
<p>As technology has changed and people have gotten adapted to the internet &#8211; the meaning of the internet and how it interacts with the world has also changed.  Google was an innovation to finding information &#8211; when Larry Page and Sergy Brin developed an algorithm in 1996 to determine a pages authority by determining the number of inbound links &#8211; and the authority of those links based on their in bound links.  <strong>Lol</strong> &#8211; <em>funny saying that out loud</em> &#8211; the terminology &#8216;<em>Pagerank</em>&#8216; was invented, and it drove the traffic online for the next ten years &#8211; evolving quickly as marketers and businesses found out ways to exploit it.</p>
<p><a href="http://js.workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Google-Manipulate-Algorithm.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1869" title="Google-Manipulate-Algorithm" src="http://workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Google-Manipulate-Algorithm-300x166.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="166" /></a>In the beginning &#8211; it was easy to manipulate &#8211; all you had to do to trick the Google robots, is put tags everywhere on your site, create a bunch of other sites, and link back to your main site through some kind of giant ponzi linking scheme.</p>
<p>The problem with this &#8211; of course, is a 5 year old child would click on a link that said &#8216;Free Lollipops&#8217; and then a porn site would pop up, advertising the latest scandal movie with Pamela Anderson, Bill Clinton, or any of the other famous folks in the late 90&#8242;s.</p>
<p><strong>So search had to evolve</strong>, and with the evolution of search and the advancement of communication technology &#8211; came email, the first dating sites, in 1997 we had the advent of both instant messaging and the first social media site: Sixdegrees.com, which allowed for basic profile creation, uploading photos, and connecting.</p>
<p>As social media was growing as a hidden animal, being stopped by inefficient web technology, slow load times, and server interruptions &#8211; search took over the internet.  With the proliferation of search, the advancement of Google algorithms, marketers and information pirates (like early versions of myself) had to find new and innovative ways to crack the algorithm and get attention.  The ease of setting up websites exponentially exploded in late 1999 with the invention of Blogger.com, which allowed for the mass creation of websites by people who &#8211; well, didn&#8217;t know what the heck they were doing, really at all.</p>
<p><a href="http://js.workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/2387270804_c8a14cc063_o.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1871" title="exponential growth chart of websites through 2008" src="http://workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/2387270804_c8a14cc063_o-300x165.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="165" /></a>Now search was faced with a new problem, as the rise of websites by the layman began their exponential expansion.  Look at the curve of growth of websites online, from the advent of the internet through 2008 (chart to the right, courtesy of Pingdom.com &#8211; click to enlarge)</p>
<p><em>Today</em>, there is an estimated total indexed number of pages online of 13.8 billion (<a title="World Wide Web Size" href="http://www.worldwidewebsize.com/" target="_blank">see this</a>).  The rate of growth of the number of websites online is matching that of the rate of growing brain cells of a human fetus in it&#8217;s final trimester of growth &#8211; and my guess?  <em>It&#8217;s just the beginning.</em></p>
<p>In 2002, Friendster.com was launched, and then Myspace.com launched in 2003, revolutionizing the face of Social Media and bringing it to a place where the internet could evolve to it&#8217;s current paradigm.  Hundreds of millions of users registered, and it created a social phenomenon &#8211; where information and communication was virtually instant.  In 2005, Youtube entered the scene, and expanded in growth at a rate that dwarfed what was thought the impossible with Myspace.</p>
<p><a href="http://js.workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Compete_MySpace_YouTube_16.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1872" title="Compete_MySpace_YouTube_16" src="http://workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Compete_MySpace_YouTube_16-300x156.png" alt="" width="300" height="156" /></a>This chart (courtesy of Compete.com) shows the difference in growth of new visitors to both Myspace and Youtube in their first 16 months of operation.  Just stop, and think for a second at this &#8211; 25,000,000 users had been to YouTube within it&#8217;s first 16 months of operation.  Compare that kind of expansion with ANY business in the last 5,000 years of human history &#8211; and the way this changes the nature of how human beings communicate and relate to each other world wide.</p>
<p>Youtube was a social revolution &#8211; but it was just the beginning.  For the first time, online video media started to out pace television and corporate conglomerates that had dominated the media scene through television and newspapers for hundreds of years.  You could get coverage from someone across the world of something that no one would have ever heard about &#8211; an entirely new medium of sharing was born, and video became social.</p>
<p>Here was the problem, though &#8211; <em>the internet was complicated and cumbersome</em> &#8211; just look at Myspace &#8211; while it was a revolution in interpersonal communication, it was a pain in the ass to use.  You had to setup a profile, choose a million options, know html code to alter the way the page looked, and it took forever to load new profiles.</p>
<p>More than that &#8211; most of the pages were ugly and gaudy, and took forever to load &#8211; you had to scroll through a million pages to find anything interesting &#8211; this &#8216;user unfriendliness&#8217; causes what I call &#8216;cognitive resistance&#8217; to communication.  If there&#8217;s even one minor piece of tension internally to taking action, there&#8217;s a great percentage of the world who will just do nothing.</p>
<p><a href="http://workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/20091212-dndjb3ju16un1rxfcmij2iss9p.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1874" title="How resistance to flow causes cognitive resisitance" src="http://workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/20091212-dndjb3ju16un1rxfcmij2iss9p-300x275.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="275" /></a>My favorite example of this is modern Airports, a lot of people hate the airport today because of the huge ass nazi government  that the USA is now, no one really thinks of all of the social implications that are created by unbelievably long lines and constant abuse by authority figures violating the laws &#8211; just like that creates cognitive resistance to travelers and the growth of world trade &#8211; Myspace created a similar phenomenon through slow load times, gaudy profiles, and although it was a revolution &#8211; my Mom hated it, my Dad hated it, and no one used it who wasn&#8217;t part of the great population of the world that has no need for a great understanding of technology.</p>
<p>Hence the advent of Facebook.  What did Facebook really do that was different, that has now allowed them to dominate and become integral to the entire infrastructure of the internet?  They eliminated social and cognitive resistance to the most favorite activity online &#8211; sharing, communication, and connecting.</p>
<p>Most people would have never thought about that, because really &#8211; there&#8217;s no need to &#8211; you hop on Facebook, are uploading photos in seconds, talking you your buddies in minutes, and you can see everything in real time without any pain in taking action or navigating &#8211; it&#8217;s all right there.</p>
<p><em>A revolutionary engine allows you to instantly navigate</em>, flow, and talk &#8211; and you don&#8217;t have to know a gosh danged thing about the internet to use it.  With the surge in smart phones, 3g networks, and world wide internet infrastructure &#8211; it is now as easy to use the internet (thanks to Facebook) as it is to dial up Grandma on a good ol&#8217; fashioned landline &#8211; in fact, it&#8217;s easier and faster.</p>
<p><em>Why bother calling Grandma</em>, if you can post a note on her Facebook wall and hear back in seconds &#8211; or chat in real time before you could have finished dialing the phone number?</p>
<p>My prediction?  By the end of the year (2011) Facebook will <span style="text-decoration: underline;">squash Google</span> and take it&#8217;s place (at least for a while) as the #1 dominant force for all things online &#8211; until someone comes out with something better &#8211; which may or may not happen for some time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In fact, I don&#8217;t just think that Facebook is going to squash Google in traffic, I think that they&#8217;re going to dominate search and information completely.  Why?  Because social resistance is removed to sharing information, and people don&#8217;t want the pain of wading through pages of nonsense to get what they&#8217;re looking for, they want it now and they want the right information, and the presence and connection of Facebook to the entire world wide internet infrastructure is creating a &#8216;social brain&#8217; to tell you the best answers to everything, now.</p>

<p>Compare, quickly, the video I showed you above with Weird Al, to this HD clip of Avatar (allow it to load, just so you can really soak in the advancements from just 20 years of growth &#8211; keep in mind this was also done in theatres in life like holographic 3D technology, just invented last year in 2010):</p>
<p><object width="529" height="301"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/cRdxXPV9GNQ?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;hd=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="529" height="301" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/cRdxXPV9GNQ?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;hd=1" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p><em>This is just the beginning</em> &#8211; if you believe that what you&#8217;ve seen in the last 20 years is nuts, just wait and see what happens.  The internet is evolving communication into a real time social intelligence, with the combined power of the minds of all humans to solve problems instantly.  Read that again &#8211; if you don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s happening, you&#8217;re not looking.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re going to see, soon, the advent of interfaces so advanced, that there will be no need to boot them up, no need to turn them off, no need to navigate, no need to learn how to use them, that can find answers instantly and operate more like a living mind than a machine.  Eventually, I believe the world will operate interconnected to a web that becomes more like the concept of the collective unconscious theorized by Carl Jung, and whether it is or not &#8211; that web will act and behave like a living mind.</p>
<p>If you think that&#8217;s far out, and what you&#8217;ve seen is wild &#8211; this, my friend, is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">only the beginning</span> of the social enhancements made possible by technology.  And you know what?  We need it.  Badly.</p>
<p>The world right now has bigger problems than business, we&#8217;re living in a time where the US government treats it&#8217;s citizens like subjects, a billion people are starving, and the world treats the resources and environment like if we destroy it all it doesn&#8217;t matter.  It&#8217;s time for an innovation of a social consciousness, interconnected by a living technological mind of all combined human knowledge, because if there&#8217;s anything that can create the social revolution we need, it&#8217;s coming together as one mind &#8211; and as I live and breathe, I&#8217;m telling you it will happen in our lifetime, and you will see it if you&#8217;re still alive <img src='http://workwithdavidwood.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So thank you Facebook for showing Google that it&#8217;s the people that move the world &#8211; because without you, the internet would still be a sour, stuffy place only used by tech guys and marketers like me.</p>
<p><a href="http://js.workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Photo-on-2011-05-20-at-17.21.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1828" title="David Wood" src="http://workwithdavidwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Photo-on-2011-05-20-at-17.21-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><em>To our living collective mind</em>,<br />
David Wood</p>
<p><strong>P.S.</strong> Just wait my friend, the Governments of the world and huge ass corporations can&#8217;t hold back the change we need forever &#8211; as communication exponentially expands and connects with the web of thinking from all people world wide, nothing can stop us from moving forward&#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8230;just don&#8217;t let that stop you from acting today &#8211; become the change that you want to see &#8211; and why not share it on Facebook?  (let me know your thoughts.)</p>
