You might not have the ability to make the actual change instantly, however maintain looking at back again. "Switching in order to HTTPS is essential just because a internet browser expansion known as Firesheep offers managed to get particularly possible for anybody discussing your own open up cellular network—at coffee shop or even meeting, with regard to example—to sniff your own qualifications credentials and freely access your account says Tate.

Requests are one of many important connection programs on Facebook. Today, they have been asserting a fresh, more quickly Request Dialog which is less difficult regarding programmers to utilize and also permits visitors to send out a lot more related asks for.

They’ve produced the newest Request, far better by rendering it more quickly, eliminating a great needless stage in the act, and also removing the particular part method in which earlier inspired how many requests for each and every consumer can send out. As opposed to impacting on restrictions, they’re dedicated to marketing high-quality, related asks for and also continuous to be able to progress their own unsolicited mail diagnosis methods to remove mistreatment.

The newest requests is straightforward to be able to apply, because it makes use of their own Program Dialogs platform. Furthermore, the particular dialog has been built to benefit IFrame programs, no more time needs server-side FBML. You will generate the particular Requests with all the pursuing program code:

    <body>
      <div id="fb-root"></div>
      <script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js">
      </script>
      <script>
         FB.init({ 
            appId:'YOUR_APP_ID', cookie:true, 
            status:true, xfbml:true

What do you think about this? Is it going to be easier now, or maybe not...




Facebook is planing to earn through "Likes"

Facebook is introducing a new advertising system 'SponsoredStories'. Companies will be able to pay so your friends will see website product or service that you 'like'


Although service Socialbakers argues that the Facebook has more than 600 million users, according to their data, that number is still slightly above 500 million. Facebook has now found a new way to earn through the millions of users.
Facebook runs a program called Sponsored story. For example, if one of our friends decided to go for coffee in the café, this information will be visible to us in the pages of Facebook, if that caf
é paid for it. 


According to official data, the largest country on Facebook, as expected is United States, ahead of Indonesia and the United Kingdom. Croatia is on that list at 63rd place, while Serbia on 43th, Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 69th.


List of major brand sites is not surprising. In the first place in the world is Coca-cola, then Starbucks coffee, Oreocookies, Disney and Red Bull. The average user has 130 friends, and they spend over 700 billion minutes on Facebook pages monthly.

 

Why Facebook is bad for you?

Wednesday, January 26, 2011

Everyone must know


Finally, you are greeted by a form of communication where nothing significant will be lost. Your friends refresh your profile every 10 seconds in order to find out are you sleeping, listening music, watching 'Sex and the City' or quoting a Confucius.


Facebook is full of quizzes to finally reveal your essence and soon it's gonna be quite obvious that you are actually monstrous amalgam of Brigitte Bardot, Angelina Jolie, Emily Bronte, that your faith is to be with Nicholas Cage, and you are actually fan of avant-garde metal.



Of all the futile and idiotic Facebook applications, selling your friend is the most convincing. Buy and sell friends, be master of their miserable Facebook-fate, full of Facebook-money, live at the top, be insane, then turn off your computer before they turn off your electricity due to exceeding low intelligence.













About FanPages
Not too long ago, facebook came up with the idea of fan pages. People can follow their favorite bands or sports teams or movie stars. Good idea, right? Well, people decided to create fan pages for lots of other things. Most of which are completely and utterly pointless. People think up some observational humor, find a semi-related picture, and then hope it goes viral. But even if it does, what the hell do these people get out of it?


In most cases, there’s no apparent profit motive. People aren’t linking to a website or trying to sell merchandise. They’re just coming up with something clever and crossing their fingers. Many times, the jokes are actually quite good, and I get a chuckle out of them, or they make some astute observation. (Examples, with spelling/punctuation as in the originals: “Looking at the clock in school even though you just looked at it.” “I hate people who walk really slow infront of you and can’t get past them.” “Pushing those little buttons on the lids of fast food drinks.”)
But it’s almost the Generation Y equivalent of stupid joke e-mails that insist that you send them to all your friends. Fortunately these aren’t quite as bad as the group invitations I sometimes get bombarded with, but when these things come across my news feed, even if I’m amused I’m not going to join a pointless fan page.


Now what's your opinion about using this useless applications, making fan page about your respiratory system, or something else I didn't mentioned???

Use Facebook and start making money from home

Isn't it shocking when you meet a high school classmate who doesn't have a Facebook account? Basically, we assume that everyone has a Facebook account, rather, everyone who knows the basics of computers and the internet. But you know what's more shocking than meeting someone who doesn't have a Facebook account? It's meeting someone who has been using Facebook for months and doesn't know that s/he can gain profits and earn bucks through this social networking site. Well, if you are guilty of this or you're just someone who knows that there's profit but is just wondering how to get started, here's some tips and tricks for you to make money from home using Facebook. 


Sell products. You can take a picture of products at hand and tag your friends. To persuade your friends on why they should be buying products from you, you can also put descriptions of the said products. This way, you can be sure that your friends will be able to see what you sell and have the basic information on how to order. Plus, because of the newsfeed feature of Facebook, it's not only your friends can view the items you are selling, but also the friends of your friends. It's easier for you to communicate with people who are planning to buy from you since Facebook is a social networking site. 

Link your affiliate or blog link. If it's difficult for you to gain more views for your blog(business blog), then you can link your blog to your Facebook account . It automatically appears in the newsfeed and your profile, every time you update your blog. Check if your blog has this feature; if not, you can manually embed your link to your wall or even your friends' walls. This could also do this with your affiliate links. 

Utilize Facebook Apps. Some applications on Facebook enable you to earn money instead of using them for games and quizzes. Try checking Sharecash or Cloudcrowd; by doing various simple tasks like taking surveys and completing offers these applications let you earn money. However, don't expect to get rich from this since they don't really offer much. You should consider this, if you want to earn extra money while ding nothing but chatting with your friends. 

You can use Apps to earn money










Advertize through Facebook. Advertising is the most effective way, if you are really serious about making money through Facebook. Once you advertize on Facebook, it will target specific audiences that are relevant to the products you are advertising. For example, if a person puts "tennis" as one of his hobbies and interests in his profile, then some of the advertisements that he can see in the advertisements tab are all about tennis. In order to advertise in Facebook, you must be willing to spend a few dollars; which is why it is only for serious advertisers who are willing to invest for their marketing.

Remember these tips and you'll realize that Facebook is not just making friends but also used to work from home online.

Zynga acquires area/code

Sunday, January 23, 2011

Three in every ten people on the Internet is planned for the development of social play in 2012, the wind affects spending Zynga because acquires Area / Code, co-creator of CSI: Crime City.

Assuming eMarketer is correct in the assessment of 30 per cent increase in social games, in the next two years, the acquisition of Area / Code continues to focus Zynga popularity among players. Developer licenses are currently 282 972 532 users per month, ranking number one in their application of statistics. And without including the new purchase.

The acquisition strengthens the company's presence on the east coast. The prefix is Zynga New York, and bought the company and Frank Lantz Demetri Detsaridis become CEO and creative director of a new office in the Big Apple.

Regarding the increase in the total number of games in the portfolio Zynga, Area / Code and Ideveloped Drop7 Car Wars iPhone, in addition to the above CSI: Crime City (which was developed in conjunction with its partner Ubisoft).

And if the rumors are true in the social gaming company looking at an initial public offering, perhaps led by Goldman Sachs, the expansion undoubtedly attractive to investors. This acquisition is the ninth in eight months!

No more "Suggest to friends" feature

One of the most useful features of Facebook is a simple tool that allows users to suggest sites to your friends. During the last days of the function has stopped working for directors and is no longer visible to the fans of the page.

The most likely reason for this change is that the administrators of the page are usually the only people able to use the tool. This also prevents the site administrators to encourage fans to share the page with the others. Although the tool is currently broken for administrators, I have a feeling that will be resolved in the near future. It 'also possible that Facebook came up with alternative solutions to easily share your favorite pages. In the end, I do not know how big the impact this has on the growth, but it's definitely something that administrators should not rejoice.
Suggest to friends option

Did you ever use the "Suggest to friends" feature when you visited another page? What about the page, you manage yourself?

One thing that might not be obvious: administrators can continue to use a feature, but fans of the page can't.

Facebook's new messaging system

Friday, January 21, 2011


Confounding rumours about what Facebook would announce, founder Mark Zuckerberg said the system was "not e-mail".
Instead, he said, it was modelled on instant messaging systems and will route messages to people no matter how they are using Facebook.
"It will handle messages across all the ways you want to communicate," said Mr Zuckerberg.
"This is not an e-mail killer," said Mr Zuckerberg. "It is a messaging system that includes e-mail as part of it."
Mr Zuckerberg said it would bring together four separate messaging types - SMS, Instant Messaging, e-mail and Facebook chat.
While those using it can attach their Facebook name to an @facebook.com e-mail address this was not compulsory, said Mr Zuckerberg.
Instead of forcing people to use separate systems, Facebook messaging will work out the most appropriate way to get a message to a person. It had a sophisticated "policy engine" that knew how Facebook friends preferred to be contacted.
"If we do a good job, some people will say this is the way that the future will work," said Mr Zuckerberg.
He denied that it should be characterised as a "Gmail killer". Instead, he said, it would synch with other products and let messages flow to and fro.
"We want to enable to connect how they want to connect," said Andrew Bosworth, lead engineer on the revamp, "People should be allowed to share however they want to share."
Mr Bosworth said the revamp was the biggest project the company had worked on to date and involved 15 engineers working for more than 15 months.
The product will roll out slowly over the next few months with invites sent out to users to get them trying it.
