Mark Zuckerberg wants app developers to help him "keep up with the times."

March 23, according to CNET's website, Mark Zuckerberg hopes that app developers will help him "keep up with the times."

Facebook last year changed the company's unofficial motto from "Rapid development to breaking the status quo" to "rapid development through stable infrastructure", a signal that it will work more harmoniously with its partners. Mr Zuckerberg is expected to deliver a new message to developers at this week's F8 meeting: Working with us.
Facebook is a technology giant, and advertising sales and profits are growing fast. Last year, Facebook revenues grew by nearly 60% to 12.5 billion dollars, and profits grew by more than One-third. Nearly 900 million people-about one-seventh of the world's population-visit Facebook's services daily, making Facebook one of the most influential internet giants.
But Zuckerberg knows that to keep up with current trends, Facebook needs the help of application developers. As they develop apps for Facebook, Facebook is increasingly "ingrained" in user life. Mr Zuckerberg's expectation is that more apps, more ways to attract users, and ultimately more advertising (almost all of Facebook's revenue comes from advertising).
Fundamentally, developers have created the glue that makes Facebook "more sticky", giving people a reason to visit Facebook for a long time. The promotion function of the Enterprise Developer meeting is as important as the educational function. "Companies hold developer meetings that allow developers to work with them, focus on them and improve the attractiveness of their products," said Ben Schachter, an investment firm Macquarie Capital analyst. "
do not underestimate the importance of the attraction that developers bring. As Facebook grows, it faces more rivals, including Big Macs like Google and fast-growing Snapchat. Facebook needs developers to help strengthen its competitive power.
Facebook faces fierce competition in attracting developers. In the next few months, Microsoft, Google and Apple will host a developer conference in San Francisco to attract potential partners.
Facebook last year asked mobile users to post messages via a standalone Messenger application rather than a principal application. "News is one of the few online activities that people spend more time than social networks," Mr. Zuckerberg explained last November. "In some countries, users who use chat or SMS services are more than Facebook."
Facebook will unveil new messenger features this week, making it easier for developers to share content between their applications and messenger. The
Facebook spokeswoman didn't comment.
at this week's F8 meeting, Facebook and Zuckerberg will also discuss the impact of virtual reality on people's lives and inform developers of their role in the process. (Bamboo)
