Facebook’s Reach & Identity Vs Twitter’s Real-Time Stream

-

The battle is on!
Facebook VS Twitter
Real time stream of Twitter made it a de facto place and Facebook takes it on soon. Facebook’s VP of Media Partnerships believes his company has two big advantages if the battle warms up: a huge audience reach and a real identity.
Gosh, this is a big move on the checkered board against Twitter.
 According to a recent post published in Techcrunch shows that Facebook’s integration of real-time streaming need a lot more effort. Yet, what Facebook is going to do to stay one step ahead by – pouring resources into its new Public Content Solutions team, hiring TV execs, acquiring startups that analyze real-time event chatter, and building new APIs so that news outlets can visualize its data and will remind users about the right locations to discuss those world events.
That’s a big move, though and several of these efforts will come to action with some cool partnerships. Facebook announces some of their partner’s name –
  • NBCs Today Show will show Facebook trending topics on a giant in-studio touch screen. And its host can tap and swipe the screen to show Facebook posts of people discussing the topics.
  • The Discovery Channel’s car-racing show Street Outlaws can use Facebook’ s new Hashtag Counter API to let fans vote for their favorite teams by posting to Facebook with relevant hashtag.
  • Spredfast is going to power both the above integrations.
It’s going to be a big battle as real-time feeds are not just a part of Twitter, but also an integral part of its makeup, so Facebook’s attempt to dominate its content style can show an uphill fight. (Quotes Techcrunch)
