Open Graph
Facebook plans to connect disparate corners of the Web.
"If we can take these separate maps of the graph and pull them all together, then we can create a Web that's smarter, more social, more personalized, and more semantically aware."

Like Button
“Introducing the Like button. Starting today people will be able to connect with your Page by clicking “Like” rather than “Become a Fan.”
“We hope this action will feel much more lightweight, and that it will increase the number of connections made across the site.”

Imagine The Potential
• Amazon can recommend films for you to buy based on what you’ve been looking up on IMDB
• Pandora in turn can play music you’ll like based on your friends’ Amazon purchases.
• Suddenly the web is connected in a far more cohesive way than has ever been possible before.
• Some of it will be used to promote products to you but there will be a lot of opportunity for developers to create amazing, new, social services that feed deep into your social graph.

Let’s Dig Deeper
![Page 21: Facebook Open Graph](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062307/55585f3dd8b42a943b8b527a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Content Is Still King
• Ask fans questions – Ask for Feedback• Share interesting advice, tips, video, etc.
• Create an App, Game or Quiz.

News Feed Optimization
• Affinity score - If you send your friend a lot of Facebook messages and check their profile often, then you’ll have a higher affinity score for that user.
• Weight given to each type of Edge. For example, a comment probably has more importance than a ‘Like’.
• Time Decay - The older an Edge is, the less important it becomes.

What to do next
• Educate your clients on these changes and address their privacy concerns
• Add the proper Open Graph Protocol meta tags in their site, and, by doing so, they will now appear in Facebook’s search results as well.
• Make sure to stay on top of this evolution on sites such as allFacebook.com
• Leverage EdgeRank formula– If you want your posts to show up in News Feed, make
sure people will actually want to interact with them.
