Facebook launches link thumbnails in Comments


 

Facebook has  launched a commenting feature that allows you to embed videos, photos, or web sites in comments just by including a URL showing the preview of your link. Your comment will include a video player, a thumbnail of a photo, or a brief overview of the web site being linked to. If you prefer your comment without the preview, you can remove the preview with one click.

How To Get Rid of The Nasty Facebook Sidebar


Recently I wrote about the cool Facebook News Feed Crawler, but I was not aware of the fact that its not a News Feed Crawler rather it’s a sidebar, because I always use My Facebook zoomed at 120%.

“Use Your Facebook Zoomed at 120% and Hide Your Sidebar.”

Yesterday I got  a look of this sidebar, and it was really nasty, I switched back to my 120% zoom and got my Cool Facebook without  a sidebar back. So if you want to get your old Facebook back without the Sidebar, just Zoom Your Page to 120%, Your Facebook sidebar will be detached to the Chat and will be shown right above the Sponsored Story.

So Happy Chatting without any Frustration.

Facebook: A Fashion or a Technology?


Facebook, that’s what drives our lives on internet. Am I true? Most of you will answer Yes! I remember a very famous dialog from the movie “The Social Network” when Mark Zuckerberg says “It won’t be finished, That’s the Point, The way fashion’s never finished ” when Facebook CFO, Eduardo advises him to Monetize Facebook and asks him “When it will be finished?”.

Facebook has become a very important part of our lives, if you have something in your mind you just write it on your wall, you got some big news you just share it, your best friend’s b’day is coming there’s no better way than wishing him/her on his/her wall, You’ve got an interesting pic or link just Facebook it! and many more.

Ok…Lets talk about the Technology or we may call it a fashion, we have seen many updates and new features in Facebook since its launch back in year 2004, Recently Google launched its new Google+ project, which gave us interesting results in form of number of users , but it may be due to the fact that Facebook has attracted the worldwide users to social networking. Google + do provided some new features like circles and hangout, but Facebook already had the circle feature no matter if the friends are not shown in the circle, The new feature Facebook lacked was a Video Chat, that overpowered Google + via its hangout feature in its early days, but according to Skype people Facebook  and Skype were already working on a Video Calling feature before Google revealed their latest project and finally Facebook launched the Video Calling.

Today I saw a new feature of the Facebook News Feed crawler in the right sidebar of the Facebook Home. The update is really awesome and will make reading the news feeds more faster and getting the updates write onto the sidebar without refreshing your news feeds. This news feed crawler shows a summery of the news feeds and you can click on them to see the full update.

Thanks To Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook for making the Social Networking such a great experience for Developers…….yes that I mean DEVELOPERS along with the users.

The Best Answer to Google+


Its been more than 5 days since most of you are using the Google+, Well it’s name may be Google+ but I call it Google – – because to me it looks to be another failure from Google as it has now been a habit for Google after its Google Video, Buzz and many more.

Yesterday Facebook Inc. finally launched the Video Calling service on world’s most used Social Networking Website Facebook by shaking hands with Skype, the leading Video Calling Service in the world, many were writing Skype off the Technology World when Microsoft announced the acquisition of Skype about its future, But here is the answer to them, The Facebook Video Calling

Skype + Facebook = Google – –

Yesterday Facebook Announced the Video Calling service which can be started by navigating to  http://www.facebook.com/videocalling , and clicking the GET STARTED button, which prompt you to download a plugin for the Video Calling, most of you must be familiar with it if you have used the Gmail Voice and Video Chat feature. The plugin downloads in few seconds and gets installed on your system with the blink of an eye, and you are ready for Your First Facebook Video Call.

Facebook has also worked on the interface of the chat box making it more elegant and giving You 2 more options, one for the Video Call and the other for Clearing the content of a chat box and report as spam.

Recently Google launched its Google + project for public allowing them some new feature by showing two new concepts, The Circle and the Hangout, but what I think is that Facebook has ruined their plans completely of getting into the Social Networking Market.

Looks like the sound of Google + was very irritating for Mark Zuckerberg.

Google trying hard to take down Facebook…


Google seems to be working hard these days modifying their design and interfaces of all of their websites, I opened Google 2 days back and saw the Google Navigation bar go Black, with an Orange Line on selected item, looks awesome!….and today morning when I visited http://www.google.co.in , saw a whole new design of the search engine with a trendy look……seems to be inspired from Microsoft’s Search Engine Bing. That was about Google.

Yesterday I visited YouTube, and What I got was a the YouTube’s media player turned into black, I thought after visiting Google.com that YouTube may also have a new interface but…..a big  NO….Nothing was changed, The Black Colored player looks awesome, but What I think is that Google needs to change the interface of YouTube to give it modern look, The interface totally doesn’t match with the player.

And finally the much awaited Google + Project , every body is waiting for and some people are already using it, The new Social Networking website and Guess What Google People are already saying that it will change the Social Networking experience and will be the best ever Social Networking platform ever built on this planet. Google directly targets to get Facebook down to earth with their Google + Project……Let’s hope all of us can get Google + Project soon….You can get a glimpse of it here http://plus.google.com
