I'm do -- have ever run down where.
Where where you stand -- things going in Dallas and will start right there shallow.
-- -- everyone abuzz with all the new FaceBook news that's going -- -- -- Yeah you know what has surprised me about the FaceBook news was the ability to I got this this morning and really kind of hit a lot of people -- this morning and it really.
Came out to the point where the general public had an idea.
About FaceBook in the whole phone this ability to be able to call for free give us a -- -- what is that what does this mean we'll also talk about their their search capabilities as well.
So that's one of the big and you feature isn't in FaceBook is really working hard of course.
TT keep users engaged in so did rolled out in Canada for people with iphones that you can call.
And -- friends who also have thinks the messenger.
Competing in the sky but not quite here yet -- -- still in its -- Steve and making we're gonna see more -- FaceBook just not quite yet on that regard.
Right shot might not -- my notes and obviously founder and CEO mark I -- group so I apologize.
And I got the right Mary -- -- -- -- around and -- like oh my guess gonna sort ago.
The second thing was the big big house this week of course was the whole idea that FaceBook and -- gave some some people some behind the scenes look before this announcement came out but.
The idea that FaceBook is trying to do more on the search front and how -- -- kind of trying to in some respects tackle the big mountain that is doable and try to get some of those users to explain.
What that means -- people about.
Still what these book has launched is now -- search called -- so -- So I think calling this their third -- of course the first one was you know the timeline for the gay people see you could share what you're doing.
-- -- killer being the new speed what are your friends doing.
But -- pillars will be searched.
Dig into your networks a little bit better to get a sense of guess who isn't Valentino -- you might find -- in New York.
Would you like friends really like got a restaurant in -- which my friends have visited lending for example the put -- -- lets you search.
We do your own personalized.
Network that already exist.
But rather than going to their profiles to see what movies -- like -- what you might have and you can now use the search feature.
But you know.
There was such hype about the whole FaceBook thing to me this morning's announcement -- more of a surprise with the idea that you could potentially use -- like Skype.
Then the actual search function did Tom.
What wasn't it was the hype did -- look up to hype really mean was what the hype all was over hyped I mean.
Every -- this big massive announcement in -- in a beings kind of a search feature which is cool but is was it.
That big of a deal.
And engineering perspective the search -- quarter because it takes a lot more effort -- it.
-- query be searched like that's what if you're if you're in senior -- -- sorting dirty like that you might really appreciate everything that goes into a feature that.
Just scratches the surface so a lot of stuff with FaceBook -- sometimes overblown and people get really excited and of course investors are nervously watching.
Search will lead to a lot more.
Especially for businesses if you have a -- and teach those alikes are now more important than ever before and that's what people are gonna start finding more information through their friends so we this is really scratching the surface for what.
FaceBook is -- Really going to be able to do in the long term.
You know I guess for people home and simply put you kind of explain this as as well the grass -- -- basically means you can you can search your entire timeline.
And find and find out what other people are doing so for example let's say we got to college is going to Greece.
You theoretically go to your timeline search you type in Greece and it and it would search.
Your friends.
There -- pictures that are topics and see maybe somebody else even out of realize had gone to Greece.
And maybe potentially could see where they wanna get some feedback kind of interconnected people -- the same time provide other answers as well right.
Exactly you very much so as you're searching -- your friends despite connections that you didn't rats know existed before right so what like by the would you like fines for example like Chinese food or let's see.
I have tickets to the cowboys game and I wanna decide who do like take over to my friends -- in my network enjoy you know cowboys the most like that it really is.
Can they give you a lot more information access to a lot more information that you just didn't have it as easily as before.
-- -- What what does FaceBook do next.
You missed the three pillars -- there's people that you you heard the stories in recent months uneven around election time especially people getting frustrated with all election posts.
That FaceBook was on a down downturn that people were we're starting to leave but when you go on FaceBook and you look around.
It's a look at numbers that really at least amongst my friends and out of -- and -- you know our Fox News page.
Look at numbers are only growing even as fast as they were growing before but it doesn't seem like they're shrinking like everybody says in fact what reference put a perfectly -- -- on FaceBook as much as I used to be.
But I still like to at least have that connection so when I want to have a reunion when -- wanna find out about somebody when I wanna contact somebody hadn't seen in awhile I know what can still find them there.
Exactly in the can has become so integrated right so there -- -- parent wanting to keep in touch with your grandkids trigger when he introduced.
Keep in touch with them.
College friends that you graduated with this so important that people aren't coming back to it as much as they where you know they're logging in -- time thinking that you're now logging in once a -- Connection is very much Darren.
Has a two -- act challenges they -- -- -- -- the we keep the use of evil speech -- how do you.
People coming back again and again multiple times -- date.
Second priority -- and equally important is investors.
How BT Gulbis and monetize it while keeping.
Privacy concerns in check while making sure that they're not turning up users and -- -- very precarious balance.
