Google +1: Possible “Facebook like” Eater?



Most probably, after the introduction of facebook, we have heard people telling facebook is the new Google eater. This buzzing issue might have left Google with cold feet. Perhaps to compete with this hot social media networks, Google has brought several antigens time to time. So it is not very surprising that Google will come into the picture with their state of the art device namely Google’s +1 to pack a punch to “facebook like”. What is this Google’s +1?  It is a simple way to like Google search results. This annotation system strengthens the interactions between organic and paid results of web pages and your Google contacts. This has been more social with its multifaceted feature verisimilitude to “Facebook like”. Like facebook network Google+1 feature draws upon a user specific network. 

Anyway when we visit facebook fan pages or many other applications of it, we get to see 'Like' button normally at the top that allows facebook user to share their favorite pages with friends. Likewise +1 button is integrated in Google search results that enable users to vote for their favorite sites. This button definitely increases the visibility and traffic volume of a website. 

Using of Google +1 button is more trustworthy than “facebook like” as Google +1 acts as a collective rating system that makes results more trustworthy. On the other hand, Google’s +1 feature does not contribute to the same social infrastructure that Facebook does. Google +1 functions a validity creating mechanism that facebook can barely do. As additional feature of facebook when we click on like button on a Bing search result to like a website it will automatically come into Facebook and vice versa. This facilitates users to utilize two avenues Bing/Facebook in which likes can be accumulated to view the information in two ways with a least effort. Being is likely a search engine that brings forth popular pages based on global unidentified Facebook Like data. To be more precise, some anonymous “Likes” appear with search results which are not really connected to Facebook. It is worthy to be mentioned here that in case of using Google + (feature), you need to have a Google account. While to utilize full “facebook like” feature you need a Facebook account that can be created by using any kind of email address. 

Is Google +1 possible “Facebook like” eater? This buzzing question is peeping in the mind of webmasters and web follower. As each of these two has been appeared with their multiple modifications, functionality, profitability, advantages and disadvantages. It is too tough to tell: which is greater? Better! Maximum market share and market size may boost Google+1. On the other hand there is no possibility of eating “facebook like” by “Google +” as it has been the hottest and largest social media network. It is righteously encompassing more users in its network making web communication amazingly enticing and affectionately applauding.

Cloud computing - Take a Quick Look at

Cloud computing has been one of the next important buzz words in IT industry. It includes different ranks of terms like utility computing, grid computing, clustering, virtualization, etc.

The term involves the delivery of computing as hosted services over the Internet. Cloud computing offers computation, software, data access, and storage services. Moreover it is noteworthy to mention that it does not require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system which sends services.

These services are divided into there distinct groups named Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

A cloud service includes three distinct characteristics that clearly differentiate it from traditional hosting.

Just have a look on them:

  • It is flexible and elastic in the sense that a user can have as much or as little of a service as they want at any given time span.
  • It is sold on demand with a measurement of minute or hour.
  • Service can be managed fully by the provider here the only needed things are a personal computer and an internet access.

If we look back to find out the reasons of accelerated interest in cloud computing, we will get to see that significant innovations in virtualization, distributed computing and improved access to high-speed Internet and finally a weak economy are the main reasons of it.

This cloud may be of two kinds one is private and another is public. A public cloud can sell services to anyone through internet. On the other hand, a private cloud is a proprietary network or a data center that supplies hosted services to a limited number of subscribers. Here one thing should know, when a service provider uses public cloud resources to create their private cloud is called a virtual private cloud. Enthused by its massive success some most advanced companies have got into the domain to provide end-to-end solution on it, LNSEL is forerunner of them.
