14. Open Graph Open Graph is an API for developers to create applications to connect with the Facebook timeline. Apps only have to ask to share your information once. Increases the amount of activity shared. Users can now go beyond liking, and can “read” books, “watch” movies and “listen” to music. Facebook deems this “Lightweight activity” and it will primarily fill the Ticker.
15. Graph Rank Similar to Edge Rank, Open Graph applications will have Graph Rank. Graph Rank gives prominence to information users are engaged with. E.g. if you interact with music content, you will receive more music content . Curates content based on friend lists. Analytics are available within Facebook for your Graph Rank.
16. “Watch” Movies,“Listen” to music and “Read” the News Partnerships with Netflix, Hulu, Spotify and News Sources allow users to engage with these partners through a canvas application. Primarily shown in the Ticker. Users may explore new shows, movies, music and news through their friends’ activities.
17. Beyond the Like for Your Business Create an app for users to integrate into their timelines. Content must have value for consumers and their friends. No longer about “Likes.” Use other verbs. For example, if a consumer posts an update about a run they just took, that’s a prime opportunity for Nike.
