#Facebook vs Telcos

Today, I still get tons of greetings but this time it's on Facebook and Twitter. It's mostly on Facebook with people posting greetings on their Walls or tagging photos with your name. It's a shift in the communication trends -- Facebook updates and Tweeting is replacing the good old SMS. That could translate to millions or tens of millions of lost revenues for the telcos. Imagine if the 5 or so millions of Filipinos on Facebook skipped sending at least 10 SMS greetings each and posted greetings on FB instead. Facebook is launching a new game, Your Profile, Your Home where users can build their own virtual home on Facebook and learn how to personalize their account based on their preferences. Through the game users can learn more about the settings of Facebook such as Privacy settings, Advertiser preferences, and security settings. Through Your Profile, Your Home, Facebook hopes that users will have an easy way to find out just how safe and secure their profiles are.
