It has a been a busy month for social media. Twitter is busy monetizing their site, Google+ finally opened to the public and Facebook made a bunch of changes that nobody seems to like (so far). This is a very exciting time because with all of this competition amongst these social giants, we (as users) are going to see and be able to experience some pretty dramatic changes in each platform.
Ever since the creation of the web log—or blog as we now know it—people have been voicing their opinions on the web. With so many blogs out there it’s nearly impossible to keep track of them all—but there is one blogger we recently discovered who is making a lot of noise.
His blog just happens to be focused on the largest social network in existence, Facebook. Yo Zuck! Implement This is a Tumblr blog created by Youssef Sarhan and is all about creative new additions to the Facebook platform. Youssef comes up with new features not yet implemented on the site, creates mock-ups of what they might look like and explains their functionality and purpose.
There have been other sites based on the ever-growing network too. Sites like AllFacebook.com focus on news and statistics surrounding Facebook while sites like Lamebook.com highlight hysterical status updates and comments submitted by its users. This blog however, is a lot more progressive as far as blogs go and has the potential to make some serious changes to Facebook (should Zuck show any interest). In writing his blog, Youssef is essentially putting the ball in Zuckerberg’s court and can only wait in hopes that his cash cow might soon arrive.
Facebook encourages its engineers to come up with innovative changes or improvements to the site in the belief that every engineer has a good idea within them. But what about the 600 million people who use the site everyday? With so many of us, odds are that there are a ton of great ideas floating around amongst users and fans and we can see evidence of this in Youssef’s blog.
Yo Zuck! Hire this guy!
