Facebook to Launch iPad App at Apple’s iPhone 5 Event

Facebook will launch its long-awaited iPad app at Apple’s iPhone 5 launch event on Oct. 4, In addition to the iPad app, Facebook is also expected to release a revamped version of its iPhone app and may unveil an HTML5-based mobile app marketplace.
The Facebook iPad app, which leaked earlier this year, has been in limbo at Facebook for the past few months. That much was made clear in a blog post Monday by former Facebook engineer Jeff Verkoeyen. In that post, he revealed that he left the company (for Google) partially because Facebook has been sitting on the completed app since May.
The problem, according to two sources familiar with the situation, has been a combination of timing and a strained relationship with Apple. It’s no secret that the two companies have been at odds over various issues during the past two years. For example, the social network pulled the plug on Facebook Connect in Ping because Apple didn’t give Facebook any warning about the feature, which would have eaten a great deal of bandwidth on Facebook’s side.
We’ve also heard rumors that Facebook was supposed to be integrated into iOS. This was meant to happen years ago, but disagreements on both sides eventually led to Apple integrating Twitter into iOS 5.
The relationship between the two technology giants is warming up, however, thanks to the shared goal of beating Google — and the simple fact that Facebook and Apple may need each other. The former doesn’t have a mobile platform while Apple doesn’t have a social platform. The culmination of this renewed friendship: the launch of Facebook for iPad at Apple’s iPhone 5 media event.
At this event, our sources also expect Facebook to unveil a new version of Facebook for the iPhone, with design and speed improvements that mimic the iPad app.
Facebook has also been working on a project to bring the Facebook Platform to mobile devices. The project, labeled “Project Spartan” by some (a name not used internally at Facebook, according to one of our sources), is designed to be a platform where developers can bring their Facebook apps to mobile devices via an HTML5 platform.
What we’re hearing is that Apple is actually working with Facebook on perfecting the HTML5 platform. This could also launch at Apple’s upcoming iPhone event, though our sources wouldn’t commit to a specific launch date for the platform. Facebook decided not to launch it at f8, as it didn’t want to water down the announcement of the new Facebook Open Graph and Timeline.
When we said last week that Facebook would be profoundly changed, we weren’t just referring to the new Facebook Open Graph and the “frictionless sharing” touted by Mark Zuckerberg. We were also talking about its secretive effort to become a mobile platform for the social web. And thanks to Apple, it looks like that effort is about to come to fruition.
We’ve reached out to Apple and Facebook for comment.

Google’s Facebook Copycat, Google Plus

Google appears to like crushing the dreams of soon-to-be-public tech companies. First, Google decided to take on Groupon with the rollout of its own local deals-of-the-day service. And now Google takes another swing at the social network game dominated by Facebook. The search giant announced a service called“Google+” that  promises the Web search people know and love, plus updates of what your friends are doing, thinking, photographing and sharing. If that sounds like Facebook, well, yes. Google has taken various
steps to try to meld the “I want to know what my online friends are doing” traits with the mostly impersonal  world of Web searching. (ButGigaOm said Google+ is more of a threat to Skype than it is to Facebook.)
According to the website, right now Google+ is in trial mode with a limited number of people. “We believe online sharing is broken. And even awkward,” Google executive Vic Gundotra told Gplus Forum. “Our
online tools are rigid. They force us into buckets or into being completely  public.”

Picasa Web Album Goes Unlimited Via Google +

Do you want unlimited space to store your photos.Is it possible? why not?

Picasa still has the 1 GB specification as if you see the FAQ page but if you use  Google + to upload the pictures instead of directly uploading it to the web server via you computer then your picture wont be a part of the 1 GB space. Instead it would be counted as free. So indirectly this is unlimited storage on the picasa web albums for all those who tend to go ahead for the services of Google +.

Google + over Facebook

CEO Larry Page kicked off his recent earnings conference call and described not only the financial data but some other notable figures as well: the number of Google Plus users, how much they’re sharing.

10 million Google Plus users
1 billion items a day are being shared on Google Plus
+1 Button is being served 2.3 billion times a day
Does this look like something that might be huge for your real estate business? I’d say so!
Let’s check out a few plus “es” of the new Google + service and look at some plugins and such.
How is Google + better or easier to use than Facebook?

1. Google plus comments can be edited. How many times have you posted something to your group on Facebook only to realize that you have made a nasty typo.  Then you have to make another Facebook post to “correct” the mistake.  With Google + you can just edit a comment that you have made.
2. Easily organize your people into “circles” on Google plus.  You can do this as you add new people into your Google + circles.  Facebook has groups, but they are “clunky” to use and most realtors struggle to define where people need to be.  One of my favorite features is that you can put people into more that one circle.  Like I have people who are in my “Real Estate Tech” group, but they may also be friends and I can put them in both circles.
3. No Farmville.  I hope they never integrate “games” on Google+.  I really got to the point where I had to block all the people who were farming and doing Mafia wars and the like.  (Sorry Tony, that’s you).
