Challenge started off with us having to search for an article on Facebook posted in the New York Times on 28th of January.

Initially, I took the harder route of trying to find the article through the Baruch library website, which I failed miserably. I tried typing in the key words in the search bar, searched the database, even got transported to some gogale.com website, but none of that helped, after which I resorted to Google, who threw me off the bus as well. Therefore, with no other options I finally HAD to go to the New York Times website and after typing in the key words, I found THE ARTICLE, mockingly staring at me. Oh! The shame.

The article titled, For Search, Facebook Had to Go Beyond ‘Robospeak’, was written by Somini Sengupta, an Indian-American journalist who generally writes about topics on
‘technology and why it matters.’ Sengupta dishes to us about Facebook’s newest plot in trying to secure and cash in more users. This time they intend on using a different route to connect people- making Facebook the new Google. They want their billion users to make facebook their go-to search engine and this article ravels on how the young facebook team is on a go, working feverishly to make it happen.

This is an interesting read and I would encourage you to read it and decide what you think of it.
