Mfarhanonline Social Media News: Facebook may have been a hunting ground last year for developers expanding their social mobile programs, but their sights are set on growing with Google in 2012, a new study suggests. According to a new report by mobile platform company Appcelerator and analyst firm International Data Corporation (IDC), developers are more interested in using Google such as Google+, search, Gmail and the Android Market to implement their social strategies. The survey — which was conducted among 2,173 developers worldwide — found that 39% of participants said the network effects of Google's initiatives are more important to their social strategies in 2012 than Facebook’s social graph. SEE ALSO: Facebook Wants to Own Your Social Graph “Google is learning some good lessons from Facebook about what not to do and what to do better,” Appcelerator principal analyst Michael King told Mfarhanonline . “We didn’t expect Google to expect to do so well against Facebook, but it puts them at an advantage. Many developers now see Google as offering more opportunities for growth than Facebook.” The report also found that developers have expressed less interest in developing Android apps this year “due to continued fragmentation of the platform” and are looking to expand their iOS efforts. It noted that HTML5 will play a bigger role in the mobile app development space this year. About 79% of mobile developers who took the survey indicated they plan to integrate HTML5 into their apps in 2012. Not surprisingly, overall mobile app development continues to grow. More than half (53.5%) said they are focusing on mobile strategies compared to 27.4% in 2010. Do you think that this is a sign that more consumers could leave Facebook to access app programs on other sites? Do you think Google+ could take on Face! book in the future?
