There was a time when CMS was in vogue in the web designing industry and the businesses needed to migrate their site from static HTML pages to CMS to manage their content in an easier and effective way. Similarly, businesses are now required to get adapted to mobile devices like iPad, iPhones and smartphones to woo the online visitors as the latest trend is the mobile phones which are being used to browse website and do online searches.

People are now used to fluid websites and businesses now rely on the design and development of responsive websites to fulfil the demands of online shoppers.

How would you know if your business needs a responsive website?

Google Analytics is the only tool that can help you in this analysis. Login to your dashboard, navigate to Audience > Mobile > Overview and then you will see the information you needed. You can clearly find that how many web visitors used mobile phones to visit you online. If the traffic is from mobile users then you need to build a mobile website as soon as possible or you may suffer significant loss!

What will happen if you have responsive website?

Many experts believe that Facebook Graph Search is a crucial move by the Incredible Social Media Giant-Facebook- in the endeavor to become a one stop online destination for users. Many experts also explain that the Graph search is a potential threat to Google as unlike Google’s public website results , the search results produced by Facebook Graph will be driven by the members or user generated content, which is considered to be the most trusted source than any other sources.

Since the big announcement has been made from the social media pioneer, much has been written and talked about the new method of discovering people online; however, the Graph Search is still in the introductory phase or – to be more precisely – in beta version, so it is yet to explore that after all that hype and attention, how does the real Graph Search going to work? However, there are a couple of points that are clear and needed to be discussed.

The good or can say threatening part of FGS (Facebook Graph Search) for Google is that users can find what they are looking for from the friends’ recommendations, interest and locations, which means that the search results are more tailored than ever. For instance, as a music lover, drilling through FGS and looking for what is new and trending based on the friend circle one has, lend personalized results. This is, indeed, revolutionary and one thing that Google and other search engines like Bing does not encompass. But all is not fair with FSG too! Critics have raised the more important issues related to privacy and user interface experience- a positive note for Google.

Whatever FSG encompasses the best or the worst, the era of Social Media is evolving exponentially. It’s, certainly, just a beginning…this is our point, let’s wait and hear what Google comes up with!
