There’s an easy way to get 1000 likes in a minute. The only thing you need to do is update your Facebook status with “Today is the 10,000th day of my life. Here’s to the next 10,000“. That and the name Mark Zuckerberg next to the status update.

What are you about to see is a crazy. Facebook is actual;y keeping a live score of likes. You can count almost one thousand likes in a minute with the score keep rising.

This is extremely important. Not only the Facebook ticker is real time but Facebook has the infrastructure to support real time analytics to the masses for elements within the Facebook ticker. The number of likes is just a small but very powerful example of the computing power and data center infrastructure the company is capable of.

Is Facebook testing real time analytics or this is just another engineering gimmick?

Probably the worst PR move Mark Zuckerberg ever did. A video conference with the UK Prime Minister is one thing, a great honor, but reading stuff during the first half of the video conference is another. He wasn’t the Mark we all know, he wasn’t the almost half a billion people using Facebook leader we all know. Have a look at the second half of this “video conference”.
