Facebook i Open Graph

Facebook i Open Graph

What they were most afraid of had just arrived.

Namely, Facebook last year published Open Graph - a protocol that allows the creation of applications that share user activities on Facebook.

As early as tomorrow, Facebook will enable the use of Open Graph by all developers, with the help of which they will create applications so that users can share what they are doing on Facebook.

For example, if you approve an application from the Washington Post and read an article on that site, that article will automatically be published on your profile. Also if you are listen to a song, watch a video clip, watch pictures, or something else, if you have approved the app it will appear on your wall.

So, for each site where the administrator has created an application, you can approve it and after that, all your activity on that site will be recorded on your Facebook wall.

With this, publishers will attract more users, but on the other hand, users could be concerned about their security again.

You could soon see your friends' statuses say they read a post or listened to a song. You will see these phenomena more and more often.

To click on the post or not?

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
