and the all the work it has done for internet security. Even though company is bought by the mighty
,
McAfee still is one of the leading company to provide antivirus and
security suites. With the increase in scams and exploitation of profile
pictures and photos on or of
.
This app will be made available as a public beta at the end of this
month. This social app adds a layer of privacy to your Facebook photos.
If
you upload your photos using this app, you can easily blur out specific
portions of your photos. This in turn helps you in making your Facebook
photos indistinguishable to the specific contacts. This gives you total
authority over your Facebook photos, that is, you can allow a specific
number of friends or groups in your friend list to view your photos.
If
you want you can even make your pictures viewable but not downloadable.
The McAfee Social Protection app disables the option to save, download
and or even capture tools used to grab images or in this case your
pictures or photos.
I can give you many reasons why McAfee Social Protection app is helpful for both males and females.
Your Facebook photos can easily be downloaded and modified. And they may end up with guys or over internet.
I don’t think we need that much privacy and protection when it comes to
our Facebook photos and picture. But we guys do treasure our
girlfriends, fiancé, or wife pictures.
Due to this fact I even
found out a video describing how a young woman’s Facebook photo is
pirated and reused as a sexy internet meme. McAfee Social Protection app
is made to remove all these unwanted usage of your Facebook pictures.
With the coming of McAfee Social Protection app, I think internet will
be a safer place for beautiful women, giving them the opportunity to
upload their favorite picture and photos with their close friends and
relatives.
Facebook has entirely revolutionized the word LIKE,the next word possibly would be “want”.Noted developer
Tom Waddington
located some code within the Facebook Javascript SDK that pointed to
the development of a “want” button. So what is the use of this want
button??
For Companies
Waddington speculates that Facebook could build a
universal wishlist that could be queried by other apps through the Graph API.This
new option would be helpful for Facebook’s ad partners. You add a
product to your Facebook wishlist in your profile and the company that
produces it or e-commerce websites could serve up discounts- or just
keep tabs on interest or show the link to your friend on your birthday
so that he can gift you that product.
For users
It ill be a
added advantage for users as they need not go nuts selecting the gifts
for birthday or another special occasion.This facility is like
wishlist/wantlist available in leading e-commerce websites like eBay,you
want or wish to buy something you can add it to the list,later whenever
you have money you can review the list and get one.This will be really
great feature when its implemented because other social networking sites
like twitter or G+ doesn’t have this important feature like this.
Here are some screenshot which i collected from his blog,it clearly shows that facebook is trying this button,
When
asked about the feature, a Facebook spokeswoman said “we’re always
testing new Platform features, however we have nothing new to announce
Facebook Quietly Hides Your Email Address Leaving Only @Facebook.com Visible.
What will be your
reaction when you will come to know that Facebook has made visibility
changes to your personal information, If you haven’t looked at your
Facebook profile lately, you might want to take a minute and check it
out.
It appears Facebook has decided to switch everyone’s default
email address to an “@facebook” account. Problem is, they didn’t even
bother telling us of the change, much less asking us for permission to
do so and all this in an attempt to improve email address privacy.
So
if you had left your contact email as xyz@gmail.com , Facebook has
conveniently hidden it and now only shows username@facebook.com
(username is your Facebook ID). Unless you reset your controls, this
makes it harder for friends to contact you via third-party email.
How To Reset Settings And Show Your Personal Emails-
Go
to your wall or profile and click “About”. On the “About” page there is
a section listed with “Contact Information”. See the picture below for
an example. Click the “Edit” button to change the default email address
displayed.
When
you click the “Edit” button, it will take you to a place where you can
edit all your contact information. Find the section at the top labeled
“Emails”. See image below for an example.
Find
the email address that you would like displayed, and click the dropdown
arrow on the right, as displayed in the picture above. Click the
selection that says “Shown on Timeline”. If you don’t want people to use
your “@facebook” address, then select “Hidden from Timeline”. Then save
your settings when you have made desired changes.
So, What are your views on Facebook changing which email of yours is to be seen, without any prior information?
You Might See Facebook Browser & Dead Opera – Soon!
The
rumor is spreading like fire, that Facebook is looking to buy Opera
Software. If it turns out to be true then we will probably see a new web
browser, Facebook brand.
Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Microsoft Internet Explorer just got a new competitor few days ago, namely
Yahoo Axis, but
it looks like they will have to make room for another one. If the said
deal confirms, most probably we will see a brand new
Facebook browser.
If you don’t know about Yahoo Axis yet, it’s a web browser (of course)
which has many new features, but the one it’s bragging about is –
thumbnails. It has replaced the standard search results page and address
bar suggestions with thumbnails, which shows a quick preview of the web
page. Know more about
Yahoo Axis.
We
are saying this because, a few weeks ago the social networking giant
bought Instagram and after a while launched a camera app very much
similar to Instagram and apparently, Facebook is serious about
developing its mobile services and make its own space in mobile sector –
Acquisition of Opera Software is a very good move for this purpose.
Also, it has plenty of money as it just went public, in figures its more
than 16 billion dollars.
Opera
claims to have 200 million users worldwide. Undoubtedly, the mobile
browsers by the entity are very good and recommended by many people.
Even I recommend it for mobile devices, but when it comes to desktop…
I’d rather use Firefox or Chrome. Opera recently launched its very own
browser for Android and Linus based TVs. We can only imagine what will
happen when the growing and innovative company will get support of
social networking giant and its huge public funds.
We can also
expect some integration of the said browser with the social network to
increase the engagement of its users and may be some exclusive features,
similar to desktop notifications of Gmail which are only available in
Chrome. To check the authenticity of the rumors, when Mashable contacted
the PR team they replied, “Thanks for checking in, but Facebook isn’t
commenting on this.” Well, what can we conclude out of that?
Facebook on it’s Way to Become the Next File Sharing Site?
With
megaupload shutdown by FBI and FileSonic disabling it’s sharing
functionality and what better time than this for Facebook to introduce
the new file upload feature in groups.
Previously
on facebook Groups, members can create and modify docs files. Now
through files option user can upload file upto 25 MB size with all data
types extensions files except “.EXE” executable files and “Music files”
to stay away from copyright notices. You can also take action against
those file which compromises any copyright by reporting files or marked
as spam
Through new features been integrated on facebook. It is
looks like facebook wants to eliminates such competition in future like
facebook to be in competition with youtube introduced video upload upto
1GB size and it has also become the largest image sharing site with over
300 millions photos been uploaded on daily basis. If facebook groups
files upload option would be a success then if future of our share box
we could see a new of files too.
let us know your opinion about facebook introducing the files upload option on groups.
Useful tips to Secure your Facebook Account
Facebook the Giant social networking site has recently overtaken the Google in Alexa rank. This clearly shows the dominance of
Facebook
on the world of internet. There are more than 955 million of users
in Facebook according to the recent information. Providing security for
all the users is a big challenge before the Facebook Keeping it in mind
Facebook has provided of many security layers and settings to its
users. Irrespective of that thousands of Facebook accounts are getting
hacked each and every day, just because, people lack awareness about the
security measures that one should follow.
I am writing this
article to give you few important tips on Facebook security . Just go
through all the tips below and this will really help you
secure your Facebook account.
1. Turn on the secure browsing
Many
people don’t even consider this thing as security measure, but believe
me guys if you are on a Wi-fi connection or in any LAN connection, it is
damn easy to hack and get into you accounts using simple hacking tools
like Wireshark. I used to see many apps asking you to turn off security
browsing to use them but try to avoid such apps.
Here is how you can turn on your secure browsing
- Open your Facebook account.
- Click on small button that is just beside the Home button.
- Select “Account settings”.
- Go to “Security settings”.
- Click
on secure browsing and tick the box there and give a click on “secure
browsing” to complete the procedure. Now you can enjoy the secure
browsing.
2. Use a Strong Password.
Using
a strong password will always add an extra security layer to your
profile. Even I used to hack my friends accounts just to prank them but I
am surprised to see that many of them used their mobile number, Names
(crush, friends, relative, places…Etc) as their passwords. After that
even I tried to break into few other friends’ accounts just by guessing
passwords.
If you don’t want that to happen to you just use some
strong Password. Strong password is nothing but of combination of Upper
case letter, Lower case letters, Numbers and symbols and I don’t
recommend you to write them anywhere. Even avoid sharing your password.
It is also recommended you to change your password frequently.

3. Enable Log in notification.
First
let me explain you what exactly “ log in notification” is, When someone
entered in to your Facebook profile other than the registered devices
you will get a mail or text message to your mobile or even both. You can
make the settings in such manner so that each time when someone hacked
your account you can Facebook notify you which help you to take
immediate action.
Facebook log in notification
How to turn on log in notification in Facebook.
- Open your Facebook account.
- Click on small button that is just beside the Home button.
- Select “Account settings”.
- Go to “Security settings”.
- Tick “Email” and “Text message/Push notification” and click on save settings. That’s it you are done now.
4. Beware of Fake log in pages
Most
accounts of Facebook are getting hacked just using these fake log
in pages. This kind of attack is called as phishing, where people get
compromised by hackers to log in their details in a phishing site and
within no time the hacker will get the password of all those who entered
their passwords and email address in them. Every time when you enter
your password check the URL. Don’t even think of entering your password
if the URL is not related to facebook.com. Do remember that no site will
ask you to enter Facebook password. Make sure that, even spelling of
that URL should be facebook.com, I am mentioning this because
intelligent hacker will name the phishing site something like
facob00k.com , faaebook.com , fbook.com or something like that which
make everyone to believe that they are original sites. Hope you are
aware of this now.
5. Use different passwords for different sites
These
days many internet users, used to have accounts in various online sites
for different purposes. In general most of them used to keep their
password same for all the sites without awareness. Do remember that if
any one of the account get hacked then possibility of other sites
getting hacked is more. So maintaining different passwords is highly
recommended. I know that the problem here is, we may forget the
passwords of site as we can’t remember all of them. I have a solution
for you to solve this problem. Try to use your passwords in some order,
let me explain you with example; if $@IChaRaN-123 was your password then
you can make $@IChaRaN-124, $@IChaRaN-125, $@IChaRaN-126…Etc for other
sites. So this makes you to remember them easily. I am not asking you
follow the same order but you can try something similar to this.
That’s
all for now friends. If you have any other questions related to
security issues just comment below and we will try to solve your
problem.
