Every day I feel the need to manage a large number of contacts, from close friends to colleagues. In a society where information to manage are becoming more numerous and certainly convenient to make use of new computer technologies, Internet in particular. Instant messenging software tools and web applications like Facebook and evolve to help us organize our social relationships within that large skein is called Social Network.
I believe that each of us may be able to divide your contacts into groups (family, friends, colleagues), categorized according to their needs. The need of the division into groups is more evident when the number of contacts began to grow. Add to that the need for an aggregated view of your contacts, trying to have them all in a single place and within reach. Having to manage 200 contacts, it is certain that none of us keep them a part on the mobile phone, part computer, part on a USB drive, a part of the book and some paper in his head. And 'certain is that the preferred method of storage is always the phone. This means that everyone has all their contacts with him? Probable, even if rule it out for most people.
'll try to answer the following questions:
1. The numbers on the phone that I correspond with those on your PC or phone book paper? Ans. Almost always
NO 2. The email addresses that I correspond with those on your mobile my GMail contacts (Hotmail, Free, MSN, etc.).? Ans. Almost always
NO 3. The nickname of the friends I have on my mobile phone match with those of Live Messenger? Ans. Definitely NO
Assuming that the previous questions were answered in the affirmative, what if a friend changed phone number or e-mail or Messenger contact? We should update all the places where we kept track of our friend? Would not it be easier if our friend would change his personal information our sources of information would be updated automatically?
Some will object to "Do you want to reinvent the wheel?". I am aware that the wheel already exists, but I think that is not equipped with good tires, or better, the tires are not fully suitable to the soil below. Let me explain, if you spend half a day on Facebook to organize your contacts into lists, groups, so to speak, you expect the phone to take the initiative and do the same? Organize your contacts even on Live Messenger and your phone will take away more time. And if we decide to make a change on Facebook? We should therefore do so on the phone and Live Messenger! This
mean by aggregated view. Having a place to manage all their contacts and access information wherever you want. About which of course will be made consistent operations through appropriate automatic synchronization. Regardless of the medium used, friends, family, co-workers and classmates remain the same, and depend on the individual to whom they belong. Divide your friends in groups is the logical top of the storage medium in which they are contained.
surfing the web one realizes that there is an enormous variety of social networking sites, many of them as specific Linkedin for labor relations and Meetic look for a partner. Facebook, one of the most significant phenomena of our times, the agenda is used to keep in touch with everyone. This phenomenon has been further growth since it was launched for a platform allowing developers to design applications closely associated with Facebook and, consequently, with its millions of users. What puzzles me is that it has discovered that all the information available outside of the heavy restrinzioni are subject to these Terms and Conditions of Use. For example you can retain some information for more than 24 hours, or you can not expose them publicly, even under an explicit agreement by the affected user. A serious the situation is added to the inability to change your personal information through a web application outside of Facebook or using software.
What comes to mind is that the company has set especially those access policies in order not to shift attention from users on other fronts. Imagine a web site much more functional than Facebook, which allow you to communicate with the users of facebbok. I would definitely try it at least curious, like me and many others. That's why Facebook is not expedient to give full access to the information store. Why have so much information is power. Have millions of users implies economic power. It is therefore clear that race (the battle to be precise) who first won the largest number of users, to the detriment of users.
And to think that everything was started from the question: "Why do I have to force open my web page on Facebook to change the list of contacts MY and why a platform like Facebook so full of crap I can do anything but manage MY the contacts automatically from the outside? "
... perhaps because it is actually the THEIR contacts.
