Facebook to roll out its new search results that will continue to include people’s profiles, Facebook Pages, groups and applications, and some entirely new Search features. With the test, you will be able to search your News Feed for the most recent status updates, photos, links, videos and notes being shared by your friends and the Facebook Pages of which you’re a fan.
You will also be able to search for status updates, posted links and notes in Search from people who have chosen to make their profile and content available to everyone.
So the question now is, what does all this mean for a normal Facebook user like you and me?
It means anything you typed\shared with friends is not private anymore if you haven’t selected the right privacy settings on Facebook. And all your info can be found by a simple Facebook search in the future.
Since Facebook is the world’s largest social network, with a new type of search that could actually make it a social search alternative to Google, Bing and other major search engines.
Stay safe and choose your privacy properly. Here is how you can set your data as private on Facebook:
Facebook’s search feature searches status updates, links, notes, photos, and videos, and it can search both your friends and anybody who has a public profile. This puts it in direct competition with Twitter’s realtime search of public messages and a realtime threat to your Facebook information if you haven’t chosen the right privacy settings.
Today Google stars in one of those moves that a priori might surprise but watching them have a lot of potential depth. And is that the big G has purchased BumpTop 3D Desktop , an interesting software that transform the interface of our desktop into a real desk in three dimensions.
Google was working on its own tablet and bearing in mind who like to be innovative on the finder, we join the point A and point B for Google could implement the 3D desktop in its new tablet and so different from the rest of dozens of tablets to compete with it. Video after the jump.
I’m imagining what I already cool, but also practical, which is the concept of the desktop into a tablet to handle with your fingers where you can amass icons next to the table and in the real world and feel at home. It’s a new idea that has not appeared so far in the world of the tablets and, of course, our speculation, but has many papers to become reality. If not, why buy something that is not going to use?
In any case, you can still download the software for Mac or Windows and try it on your computer. If you just want to see how it works here I leave you a video where you see moving. What are your opinions on, “3D desktop background or desktop?
Google has just launched its encrypted seach form (SSL) at https: / / www.google.com/ , as a way to avoid third parties access to our search research, for example, when using unknown WiFi networks.
For the time being is in beta and not all the options available by the normal form are offered but gradually will be added. The results did not vary, plus they are still compiling data search, so the searches can be slightly slower than usual since it takes time to decrypt the data.
To know that we are in the SSL browser, Google has added a lock icon in their logo and the “s” for secure connections typical “https.”
Twitter, a few days ago decided to block any advertiser aliens from it. And with the release of their new terms of use, twitter plans to charge some sort of tax on start-ups and some publishers who make money with the Twitter API.
Twitter is logical that you want to monetize your tool (using the twitter API), so it has been necessary for this radical change in the policies (TOS), until now the Twitter API was freely allowed to make API calls with its content. We all know ‘Twitter is a success’, but now its time for the company to start fund raising towards profit. In twitters words:
It seems that the vague wording is deliberate, if you are not certain on how to proceed with this issue. Some things to keep in mind:
So far nothing concrete is set; it is possible that even Twitter itself does not know how to proceed with this issue. But what is certain is the change in its policies which includes some ideas of charging developers and publishers.
Google announced the acquisition of entertainment development company LabPixies. Acquisition agreement were not disclosed, by the two sides.
LabPixies is a platform for large number of Google applications, like iGoogle, iPhone, and Android platform development etc. Google likes development platform, but if there is a lack of application, then the platform loses its use.
iGoogle is now using OpenSocial standards, Yahoo, Hi5, MySpace and Orkut have also adopted the same Open standards, which means that applications using OpenSocial standards can run on all these platforms. LabPixies also works with the Facebook platform applications.
LabPixies said on its Website that after the acquisition by Google, the company’s business will not change,
Infact they say that “Google acquisition will help us to get more users and provides us (labpixies), more learning opportunity to help both the developer community and itself. “
iGoogle team staff Don Loeb posted a blog post saying, “Labpixies were among the first developers to develop applications for iGoogle. Over the past few years, we have many projects carried out in close cooperation, which including the release of a large number of OpenSocial application. Recently, we believe a merge of the two sides can help develop more products, so we decided to buy LabPixies. “
The modern Mother’s Day holiday was created by Anna Jarvis as a day for each family to honor its mother,[1] and it’s now celebrated on various days in many places around the world. It complements Father’s Day, the celebration honoring fathers.
This holiday is relatively modern, being created at the start of the 20th century, and should not be confused with the early pagan and Christian traditions honoring mothers, or with the 16th century celebration of Mothering Sunday, which is also known as Mother’s Day in the UK.
In most countries the Mother’s Day celebration is a recent holiday derived from the original US celebration. Exceptions are, for example, the Mothering Sunday holiday in the UK.
