THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK by Liz Mc Donald


Mark Zuckerburg, the creator of Facebook, has announced his new program that will integrate all forms of communications, Facebook, Yahoo, email, chat, tweets, texting, messages, urgent or not, business and banking.

He proposes that this will shorten the time one has in locating all the information from each site, article, text, tweet, email etc. It may work if he can provide separate block areas on a page for each one of these sites. 

However, Facebook has had problems in the past because of an overload of information overwhelming the system shutting it down for hours.  This in turn would shut down everything else in the process. Just today FB deactivated thousands of FB accounts because of a glitch in the system. 


Freelance writers and journalists that are on tight schedules won’t be able to upload their articles. Banking transactions will be interrupted for customers and as we saw recently, the  ability to access a person’s secure information will be in jeopardy  because the apps allow anyone to see your information.

If this is the way of the future then we need to have strict guidelines in place from the FCC and then we will be government regulated. And, Government regulation is the one thing that people using the internet do not want. 

This may come but I hope not in the near future.
