Facebook OS, Phone, and YOU

A Facebook operating system, and maybe a phone may be looming. The social networking giant sent out invitations late yesterday for an event next Thursday saying ‘Come see our new home on Android.’ Most sources expect the much rumored Facebook operating system, built on Android, but customized for Facebook…with features like news feed updates on the home screen and deep integration of Facebook related apps. They may also roll out a Facebook phone, made for them by HTC. Here’s some food for thought about a Facebook phone. If the so-called ‘deep integration’ is extensive enough, Facebook might be able to read your phone calls and texts to your real, real friends. THAT would give them some very personal and extremely valuable information about you to sell…and don’t forget that for Facebook, like a lot of entities on the web…YOU are the product!
