FACEBOOK NETWORK SECURITY AND TIPS TO MAKE IT SUIT UR CHOICE

How To Hide What You Read Through Read If you are among the group of people who love to use social apps for your favorite blogs and newspaper. But often worry about your privacy. There may be times when you could have told yourself that I’ll never this kind of news ever again on Facebook. But reading celebrity gossips, wardrobe malfunction, who left whom and married whom, how to get six pack abs, how to be a dude, and other interesting news is what we like. But reading these kinds of posts and articles may end up degrading up your reputation. As whatever you read using social apps on Facebook ends up showing on your facebook timeline. Now you don’t want your friends to know what you read today as it may be embarrassing for everyone.

If you don’t think you need to hide what you read through social apps. Then here’s a Reason for you

Just for example you saw an article regarding wardrobe malfunction of a famous celebrity and you read it. And you may have younger cousins, girlfriend or wife, and other siblings who’ll be notified that you read this article. Just think embarrassing moment when you meet them in person. Don’t want to go through it now do you?

Don’t delete the social apps

To save yourself from embarrassing moments like the one I mentioned, you’ll think that deleting the social apps is the best solution. No, I don’t think the same. If you delete these social apps, you may end up missing important news like poll position of elections being held.

So the best solution is hiding what you read using social apps from your facebook timeline. Here’s how to do it

• Login to your facebook account.
• Now click on the arrow just next to Home, and click on Privacy Settings.

• Now click on Edit Settings, next to Ads, Apps and Websites. A new page will open click on Edit Settings again to open your facebook App Settings page.

• Now find the social app for your social reader, and click on Edit.
• Choose Only Me from the option: Who can see posts this app makes for you on your Facebook timeline?

• And you’re done. Now you don’t have to worry about what you read on Facebook using social apps.

Closing Words: I think deleting is not the only way to work around with social apps on Facebook, and the fact that no news is bad. It’s just not good for everyone.

There are a millions of people in the blogging world. Each day a new blog is hosted on the internet. Each of these websites has their own niche. Hosting a blogging websites is not a big deal (Converting it into a successful one is Tough). But making a blog out of your personal life can be a big hassle. You have to remember and create new posts and topic each and every day. As far as I can remember isn’t Facebook and Twitter some kind a place where we share our thoughts and moments with everyone. Mild (Free Version) is a social networking tool that converts your Facebook or Twitter Accounts into a blog.
The hosted blog of your facebook or twitter accounts will have a unique accessible URL, which you can share with your friends. If you’re worried about other people privacy, you don’t have to worry as it only posts your content without the name and facebook comments. You can also delete stuff from your facebook or twitter blog through the hosted blog. The content will only be deleted from your blog, not from your timeline.

If you visit Mild website, after signing up, you can either choose facebook or twitter to convert into a blog. Now I chose to convert my facebook into a blog, and was surprise to see that the blog will be all about you.

That is the content you share, the updates you give, thus showing everything about while hiding content of others in your friend list. To my surprise the name of the person on which update you commented is also not displayed. So, you don’t have to worry about your friends saying that you posted their content on your blog.

If you check Mild dashboard, you can configure your facebook or twitter blog settings. You can change the blog title or logo, select a different layout, change title and body font, and their sizes. You can even choose to display your account image in place of title or logo.
If you really want to go with your facebook or twitter blog, then you can pay up some money to get your blog tracked by Google, and get it indexed.
Closing Words: I personally like Mild because it provided something out of the box. Also the blog created through Mild provides privacy to your friends and relatives. Anyway as a blogger I kind of keep my profile public so, opening a blog on my facebook or twitter comments is something I’m up for and I know other bloggers will definitely want to do so.

I think all of you are aware of McAfee and the all the work it has done for internet security. Even though company is bought by the mighty Intel Corporation, 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 Facebook, the folks of McAfee have created the new McAfee Social Protection. 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.

Why you need McAfee social protection app for your Facebook photos

I can give you many reasons why McAfee Social Protection app is helpful for both males and females.
Girls: Your Facebook photos can easily be downloaded and modified. And they may end up with guys or over internet.
Guys: 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.

Closing Words: 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.

acebook Adding “Want” button?

Filed under Facebook by sanjay

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 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

1. Open your Facebook account.
2. Click on small button that is just beside the Home button.
3. Select “Account settings”.
4. Go to “Security settings”.
5. 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.

1. Open your Facebook account.
2. Click on small button that is just beside the Home button.
3. Select “Account settings”.
4. Go to “Security settings”.
5. 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.
