For this week I am writing about an article that is title "Social media Homeboy Wants Homepage Advantage." This article talks about how Facebook is trying to take become the homepage fro the majority of its users rather than search engines such as Google, which has been the most popular homepage for years. I'm sure you have noticed these homepage invitation messages, such as "Make Facebook Home Upon clicking, the user can select to either make the page their homepage or add it to their homepage tab" or "Drag this to your home button to see what's happening with friends as soon as you open your browse." It's obvious what Facebook is trying to accomplish by doing this, for instance keeping their users on their site from the moment they click their web browser. What I find most interesting about this article and Facebook's actions in doing this, is that it seems that Facebook, doesn't really know how to get their users to selecting Facebook as their homepage. Since they have so many different kinds of messages, trying to encourage their users to select them as their homepage.
In my personal opinion having Facebook as a homepage makes sense to a lot of people, including me the first thing I do once I get on the internet is check out my Facebook. Wow that is sad, that being said Google is still my homepage primarily because, I like to be able to search for the information as soon as I open my browser.
