Facebook’s Mobile Phone: Three Reasons to "Unlike" This Strategy

facebook phone
Facebook is set to announce this Thursday the release of the Facebook Phone in partnership with HTC. According to the latest mobile report from The New York Times, the plans are to manufacture the first smartphone designed around the total social/sharing experience that Facebook enables. Maybe it’ll be called PhoneBook? Ugh.
On paper, it’s a really good idea. More than a billion people use Facebook on a regular basis to connect with friends, weigh in on political ideas, and just generally brag. And as it turns out, MOST of them are posting, liking and commenting from a mobile device.
However, this announcement is NOT on paper. It’s real. And on most levels, it’s kind of silly. Facebook has become one of the most visible, one of the most recognized, and one of the most important brands on the planet, (although, according to the stock price relative to the IPO, NOT one of the most valuable.)
And yet, with all the Stanford MBAs on staff in their marketing and operations departments, is there anyone there voicing an opinion that this is a thinly veiled brand extension that's simply designed to appease shareholders with a strategy to create more revenue streams? Because, let’s face it folks, that’s what it is.
The subtext of the “exciting” and “new” direction for Facebook is to have another screen for advertising. Period. Facebook’s entire valuation was built – however hastily, however erred – on the idea that a billion+ eyeballs is a road paved with advertising gold. Add another screen, and you can charge another scale. The new rate card must be getting a design makeover just like the news feed.
But that road to gold, being paved this week with this mobile announcement, is pocked with obstacles. From a marketing perspective, these three obstacles indicate a likely FAIL and another rough year for Zuck & Co.

Creating Mobile Contacts from Paper Lists with Ringya

Ringya originally launched it's mobile contact management app of the same name on iOS back in January. Allowing users to create mobile contacts by taking a picture of a paper list, one that many probably have stuck on their fridge, is something that folks with Android can now do as well with the Ringya Android app release










Ringya works by putting contacts into contextual groups, say co-workers, friends, etc. and when someone calls displays this information on the phone to put the call in context. So if someone from your kids school calls, it will display that association along with the persons name, 'John Smith' - Jane Smith's Father, Fair Oaks Elementary School', for instance, instead of just 'John Smith'.
Putting contacts in context like this has several other advantages as well. You can send text messages just to your co-workers for instance, alerting them to a meeting, or to your kids school's parents list, letting them know of school events, or perhaps to find someone to pick your kid up if you're running late.
Speaking to Mashable, Ringya CEO Gal Nachum insightfully comments, "...We can share all sorts of assets — videos over YouTube, images over Instagram, but one of the fundamental elements are contacts."
The app has been described as a 'Dropbox for contacts', and offers the ability to share contact groups, or 'rings' as they are called in the app as well sync rings when they are updated, with everyone on the list automatically. The app is available for free on Google Play or for iOS in the Apple Store. The company has said through it's site that Blackberry and Windows phone versions could also be available at a later date although no details are available.

Samsung Shows Off First Curved Display Phone, the Galaxy Round

Samsung has just released the Galaxy Round, the first mobile phone with a curved display, likely the beginning of a trend toward devices that actually fit our faces (and pockets). The Round has been highlighted on their global product blog, as well as on Technorati top listing TechCrunch.
Although there is only a very slight bending of the display, its visual effect has been increased as Samsung has tapered both sides of the phone to be very thin. This tapering has allowed the phone, when placed on a table, to be tilted in one direction or another.
While the phone is sleeping, tilting it toward you will display the date, time, battery life, emails awaiting your attention, and missed calls. Basically, a phone status panel. Release the phone and the display turns back off immediately.

The tilting is also put into play while listening to music on the Galaxy Round. You can push down on one side of the phone or another to shuffle through songs, if you'd like.
The phone features a 5.7 inch Super AMOLED screen, placing it in the phablet category. Because of its size, according to TechCrunch, the phone allows for multi-screen operation and customization of the corners for easy-to-reach controls
