The Gen-Next Social Applications – Are You Working On One?
There have been talks about various companies designing new social applications for its consumers. There have been various posts on the web talking about the changes in social media marketing in the future with the help of social applications and tools. If you are the smart dude, times are ripe for you to look into the future and develop an application right away which beats competition.
One such Gen-Next Social Application is the collaboration between Adobe Systems Inc. and Facebook to enable Web developers to create more compelling applications using the Adobe Flash Platform and Facebook Platform. The ActionScript® 3.0 Client Library for Facebook Platform is strategically being made to be an open source library supporting all APIs which also includes Facebook Connect. The open source developers can look into the source code here and initiate their jobs straightaway.
I see it to be a good move on part of both the companies. Ethan Beard, Director of Platform Marketing, Facebook says, “Our vision is to empower the world’s developers to make the Web more social with Facebook Platform and through Facebook Connect. With our official support of the ActionScript 3.0 Client Library for Facebook Platform, our innovative community of developers can more easily use the Adobe Flash Platformto create the next generation of applications that will allow users to engage with the people they care about in even more expressive ways“. Other details about features, availability etc. can be located here.
Sure, Social Applications will change the future of Social Media; but how soon is the questions. There are evidences in form os companies such as ON24 which are clearly defining the extent to which Social Media can have a positive impact on our lives in the future by coming up with an extensive solution for all virtual events.
I am awaiting the next gen social apps and my wait can actually be termed very optimistic because there are so many people in India who don’t understand Social Media. But, then this slide show makes my belief strong about the emergence of something radically innovative in the near future.
