The giant has spent twice the time to go from 500 00 to 1 Million just to get the first 500 00 downloads.

Does Facebook Home know some problems of adoption? A month after its publication, he finally reached the symbolic figure of one million downloads, reports our colleague CNET United States, citing the director of mobility as a source.

New target: 5 million. This could take time. It took ten days to reach Facebook Home 500,000 downloads and more than 20 days to double that number. This slowdown and average performance reflects the reception rather critical of Facebook Home.

Bugs and up-to-date

Many quite negative tests have been published since the release of the software, and Facebook Home does not add up to five of the 16 000 and some votes on the Google Play Store more than two stars. Many bugs have especially put off users. Facebook has released an update to day since, but this does not seem enough.

Especially since this one million downloads, it has no idea how many have deleted the application thereafter. Facebook should have an idea - he knows the rate of removal some time after the download, but not beyond.

The online social network Facebook is in talks to acquire Israeli Waze GPS mobile application for an award of up to one billion dollars, said Thursday the Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the matter. These sources describe the serious discussions, but warn that they can still fail.

Founded in 2008 in Israel, Waze is a mobile application that is funded by advertising and associated mapping a social aspect: it advises road routes taking into account information on accidents, road works or traffic jams provided by almost 50 million users. Such a purchase would allow Facebook to improve its offering in the mobile, where he tries to strengthen and put a foot on the market for online mapping.

This would be one of the biggest acquisitions of the group since the last year of application Instagram, for a price originally announced $ 1 billion but eventually reduced to 747 million, Facebook had paid partly with its own shares whose prices had meanwhile fallen.
