Is your computer a zombie? We can help.

Here’s one I didn’t see coming.  Facebook has a four-step plan to dominate the internet.  Their plan is outlined below…

1. Facebook currently has so many users that they have essentially created another internet of information on Facebook’s roughly 40,000 servers.  They want to keep growing.

2. Facebook envisions a future where Google’s algorithms won’t dictate what you get when you search.  Instead, you’ll be searching the information on your friend’s Facebook pages for what you want to know.

3. Facebook has two new initiatives – Facebook Connect and Open Stream.  They plan to use these to colonize other websites along with the thousands of applications.

4. Facebook’s last step is selling targeted ads to users based on what their profile information is.  This is the gold mine for online advertising that Facebook plans to open up.

The top thing Facebook is doing right now is creating a giant blind spot for Google since 99% of it’s information is stored on servers that it keeps shielded from Google.  The other thing it’s doing is driving a large amount of traffic to outside websites because users put links to these websites up on Facebook.

However, the naysayers of Facebook have to remember a company that started up not too long ago with the goal of organizing the world’s information.  People only really realized what Google was up to when it had made itself integral in the lives of the majority of the people.
