Due to the increasing tension between Facebook’s culture and the expectations of public investors, and advertiser resistance to companies’ advances. There has been tension for some time but now it is affecting the Facebook business.  People believe that Facebook is going down a similar path as for MySpace and Friendster. It starts with lower and lower advertisement then it ends up with the company losing out. Facebook have to increase their effectiveness or they will start down the path of a downward spiral.  There are a few things Facebook can do to help their situation; they can boost their click through rate or make apps which you can only from this house.

What do you believe is in store for Facebook?

What would you change on their website to increase companies to put adds on their cite?

Do you have any other thoughts about this issue?

In response to Tim’s blog: President Obama Soldiers on despite heavy opposition to solar investment.

Do you believe that investment in solar energy is necessary to strengthen the economy?  Do you believe that protecting desert habitat is more important than reducing CO2 emissions?  What impact will readily available renewable energy have on national security?

I do believe that it would be a great change to go to solar energy as opposed to water and coal. It would be difficult but a gradual change with incorporating it in to people’s lifestyles would be good.  The government on the other hand most likely wants to keep the current energy source because they are getting rich off of coal and hydro plants. I believe that if you can reduce CO2 emissions and if the desert creatures only in that area were affected it would not be such a big deal.  This would reduce the CO2 emissions and increase the availability of good air.  As I said before if America tried to change to solar power, we would generate more power, create jobs, keep our environment clean, and it will allow us to compete globally.  But since to change you would have to stop the coal factories since they have a lot of harmful emissions.  The government would never tolerate because they make too much money with hydro power and coal plants.

What do you think about this issue?

Should we try to fully change to solar energy because the coal reserves are depleting?
