The Facebook Alibi
2009-11-13 21:19:00 An innocent Facebook update about pancakes seems to have saved a 19 year old Brooklyn, NY man from being charged with an armed robbery. On October 17, 2009 at 11:50a.m. in Brooklyn, New York, two individuals were mugged at gunpoint and, the next day, 19 year old Rodney Bradford was arrested for the crime.Bradford insisted he didn't do it and had the Facebook update to prove it. Apparently, at 11:49am, from a computer at his father's apartment in Harlem, Bradford wrote a status update "in street slang" inquiring where his pancakes were. Facebook was subpoenaed and verified that the update was typed from a computer at Bradford's father's address and Bradford was released.Rodney Bradford is already facing criminal charges for...

What if she were on the phone while you were talking to your best friend about your sex life? If you can even stomach these horrors you can lend a sympathetic ear to those unfortunate enough to share their social network space with no one other than their mother. Don't believe this is happening to traumatized "facebookers" across the country? Maybe you don't think that your mom is the next in line to join---think again. That's right.

Its only been a day since Microsoft tied-up with Wolfram Alpha data to enhance Bing’s results and Google is already turning tables by forging similar informal tie-up with- World Bank.

ScamVille, Facebook And The Poor Little Indian Farmer
2009-11-10 06:42:00 (By Prateek Waghmare) Over the last 10 days the internet is abuzz with stories of Scam Ads found in popular games from companies like Zynga (Farmville ring a bell?) For those that are unaware of how such games are monetized. Users are allowed to spend real world money to buy in game currency to level up and have a better gaming experience that someone who wouldn’t. This is where Plan B for pulling in those dollars comes in. A little bit of genius and some knavery is responsible for an estimated 1/3rd of Zynga’s revenue through what are known as ‘lead gen scams.’ How these ‘scams’ work is deceptively simple. Using one of the oldest tricks in the book, a lie of omission. A user takes a simple quiz which promises them in game currency. After completion however, the user is asked for a valid cellular phone number and a PIN (which is texted to the given number). What the user does not know is that he/she may have been slapped a 10$ per month recurring subscription to ...

2009-11-06 22:00:00 Just when you thought high school was over...think again.

2009-11-04 22:22:00 For those of us who choose to live digital lifestyles, our online identities are completely made up of our logins: to Facebook, to Twitter, to Gmail, and various other applications.

Woman called "post-partum" loses Facebook friends
2009-11-02 23:42:00 A woman is suing her former employer for defamation after he told people she was "post-partum" and "delusional" and caused her to lose Facebook friends. Annmarie Swatos says that while she was a real estate agent with Gloor Realty, she and Richard Gloor had a romantic relationship. When their respective spouses discovered the affair and both the business and romantic relationships ended, Swatos claims Gloor told several people, including a potential employer and previous clients, that she was "crazy" and "delusional." Gloor also told several people that Swatos was "post-partum" and "stalking" him. The complaint asserts that Gloor's communications caused several friends and acquaintances to "block [Swatos] from communicating with her through the social networking site Facebook." The complaint also states that Gloor admitted to making up the allegations...

Punishment For Cyber Crime – Life Imprisonment, Facebook Makes Millio
2009-10-30 13:12:00 At WATBlog, we’ve commented quite a few times on cyber crime and how the fast changing face of the Internet has a lost of scope for misuse. A while back, we covered the amendments made to the IT Act. While the post was focused on the changes and how it could affect the privacy of the individual, there are several positive impacts to the Act as well. The IT Act of 2000, was modified in December 2008 and has come into force on October 27. A lot of crimes now come under the ambit of the IT Act. Some of the offences are: Cyber Terrorism Wi-Fi Hacking Sending / Viewing child pornography Video Voyeurism Identity Theft Spam. The original act was vague, and had only one criminal section – Section 66 for cyber crime. Now, it possesses a commendable expanse of powers for specific acts. Section 66F for example is applicable in case of Cyber Terrorism. If Wi-Fi or Internet is used to send terror mail, offenders can be effectively punished for life. (Life sentence). Similarly, any...

New Orkut Launched With Many Facebook-Twitter Like Features – We Revi
2009-10-30 04:58:00 We had reported that Orkut was to ape twitter’s status updates feature and so it has with the launch of the new orkut. Orkut sent me a mailer with an invite to check out the new orkut. They have setup an orkut group for all those folks who want to try out the new orkut here. There is also an animated video describing whats new in the new orkut (Caution: I found the video rather irritating!) So whats ‘NEW’ with Orkut? 1) “What are you upto?” feature? As many of you would know orkut never had a status update feature. It always had a USP in scraps which turned into spam posts with malicious links pretty soon. While facebook and twitter have had status updates as the key feature which has worked well for both of them. This move by orkut can be called ‘playing catch up’ to the growing trend of status updates. Click screenshot of status updates below: 2) Friend Suggestion Feature The friend suggestion feature was another winner at facebook in co...

Content Sharing Deal Between Facebook And MySpace – Can They Make It
2009-10-27 13:31:00 Just in the morning, we covered as to how Google stopped the migration of email-id’s from Orkut to Facebook by excluding the email-id’s from the CSV file, in order to preserve the privacy of their consumers. All that meant was that Google doesn’t want its users to go away with Orkut completely. As the statistics speak for themselves, Orkut isn’t doing any good recently and Facebook is on a high. With Orkut trying to block Facebook in every possible way to emerge as the best social networking site, it has become difficult for MySpace to compete in an already tough market. Amidst such circumstances, Facebook and MySpace found a new way to handle things. It has been reported that Facebook is in talks with MySpace in a content partnership deal. Now, this is simply big. If the deal works out fine, it could just be the end of Orkut. From the Facebook’s point of view, Twitter has been a big big problem for them and with the search engine giants – Google...

Orkut Stops Migration To Facebook – Contradicts Google’s Policies
2009-10-27 09:13:00 The mission statement of the Google data liberation front reads as follows: “Users should be able to control the data they store in any of Google’s products. Our team’s goal is to make it easier to move data in and out.” However it seems that all this was nothing in the prospect of losing consumers. Sometime back ago face book launched their export tool, which enabled users of Orkut to export their contact information including their email ids to facebook, however as soon as this happened, the feature developed a bug, which according to Goggle happened as they were upgrading the feature to offer enhanced security . When the feature came back, users were in for a surprise, the feature had everything but the email ids, i.e. You could export a plethora of information but not the email ids, hence making the tool completely useless. The official stand of Google on this is - “Mass exportation of email is not standard on most social networks — when ...

Gift Music On Facebook – Virtual Gifts Extravaganza
2009-10-26 05:34:00 We recently wrote about Google launching Music Search and I admit, I added that little cliffhanger about Facebook at the end for kicks. The news was out long before. Facebook will also be tying up with Lala.com. Now, Facebook users can gift music to each other. The Music Industry is drowning. Piracy and Digital Media are ripping out the profits with album sales declining. On the other hand, the virtual goods industry is skyrocketing with a potential of being a $1 billion market. Facebook announced it’s new and revamped Gift Shop on its blog. Now users can purchase gifts, and the gift shop is expanding. The list extends to : (from their blog:) Music Gifts (U.S. only) You now will be able to purchase songs as gifts for your friends. The “Music and MP3s” section of the Gift Shop, powered by LaLa.com, offers over 8 million songs for any music lover from artists such as Beyonce, The Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra, Imogen Heap and even Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Flickr Adds Facebook Like People Tagging – Which One’s Better?
2009-10-22 11:40:00 Flickr, which for some years was the undisputed champ in photo sharing, recently lost the crown to the social networking giant Facebook. And now Facebook is the biggest photo sharing platform in the world. Some say that Flickr has become a more niche service with only serious photographers enrolling for it. But now, it looks as if Flickr is waking up and they have launched a new feature that has been at the forefront of photo sharing features on Facebook. This new feature which is called People in Photos lets you add a member to a photo, find photos of people you know, and manage which photos you’re in. For me, that’s two main verticals of any social network covered. To add someone to a photo, you type in the member’s name just like Facebook. One thing which is different and better from Facebook here is the fact that people can opt in and out of tagging. Also you can draw an outline around the person’s face to show clearly who the person is. The notification for being tagge...

Your Status Will Now Be Binged: Microsoft to Tie Up With Facebook and Twitt
2009-10-21 20:14:00 350 million users and billions of real time updates, that’s what Microsoft is looking to tap into through deals with Facebook and Twitter. According to All Things Digital, Microsoft will announce separate nonexclusive deals today with both Facebook and Twitter to integrate their real-time feed of status updates into the Bing search service. ATD fittingly called this a one-two punch. Who took this Punch? Google of course. While Big G has been in talks with both the social media powerhouses for a similar deal, Microsoft has cleverly leveraged on pre-existing relationships to get it first. Microsoft as almost everyone knows was an early investor in Facebook (probably a move just to keep Google off ..which is no doubt paying off now) and has also shared commercial relations with Twitter before (remember the first speculation of monetization – Exectweets). Bing had earlier bean indexing Twitter to some extent in its search results. It was nowhere near the real time indexing ...

Facebook Overtakes Orkut in India!
2009-10-20 14:35:00 Orkut and Facebook has been a favourite topic for most of us here. Who’s winning? Who WILL win? What’s the future of social networking in India? Recently, there was a huge furore over Facebook promoting itself in India by urging people to add their Orkut Friends. Then Orkut blocked their nifty little tool, so on and so forth. Look at any mention of Orkut news that we’ve covered, you’ll find subtle or obvious comparisons with facebook. With Facebook dominating almost EVERY other country, India and Brazil were Orkut’s last bastion. And that has now crumbled. As of today, Facebook is India’s fourth most popular site. Orkut.co.in lags at Number 5. What does that mean? Are more Indians now on Facebook? The last stats showed that Orkut had a huge majority when it came to volume? Now, to the extent that my knowledge of Alexa’s system goes, it records not the number of visitors registered on a site, but it checks the frequency of visits, numbe...

Google Chrome Targets Indian Users Via Facebook
2009-10-20 10:35:00 I have always believed the Google Chrome browser to be the future of Google’s web services package. The future of computing is not in the OS; rather it’s in the browser. And Google has been doing whatever it can to find a strong foothold for Chrome in the internet users around the world. This would mean targeting two different sets of people. Foremost, loyal IE/Firefox users who wouldn’t want to change their browser because the current one offers everything they want. Secondly, new users on the internet who don’t even know what a browser is. Google has already dabbled in print and TV ads for Google chrome. It has also successfully used YouTube video ads and Google Adwords. And now it looks as if it’s going into Facebook advertising. A lot of blogs have recently picked up the story and screenshots of these Facebook ads running for Indian users. You can check out a screenshot below: The ad claims that it is the fastest growing web browser in India. Though there have been no...

Just a few hours ago we reported that twitter has tied up with airtel to provide sms updates for tweets in India. Now it seems the next flattery for twitter comes in the form of imitation by Orkut (which still is the largest social network in India). First reported by Googlesystem blog the screenshot below showcases a yet to be released new UI screenshot of Orkut.

Facebook Partners With Nielsen For ‘Brand Lift’ – Is Face
2009-09-22 14:30:00 Social networking is great. People spend hours together on websites like Facebook and so it is a great platform for advertisers to reach out to their target audience. However, unlike Search Engine Marketing, where there is a strong “call to action” (people are searching for a keyword and a contextually targeted ad only begets a click), social networks are more like a place to hangout and so advertisers have always been skeptical about the return on their investments. As a step towards improving the ability to measure the ROI on social media marketing, Facebook has recently announced a partnership with media research agency, Nielsen in the latter unveiling a new product targeted at the advertisers. Nielsen Brand Lift, as it shall be called, will study parameters that the advertisers will be interested in – like brand visibility, brand recall, etc. among Facebook users who have viewed an ad and among those who haven’t, with the help of polls. This will help a...

Facebook Groups Updates On SMS – Will This Help Brands Engage More Wi
2009-09-19 06:39:00 The Groups pages on Facebook is such a popular way for brands to engage with their users; so much so that brands are actually willing to spend money to advertise their Facebook pages. Now after taking so much of an effort in amassing ‘fans’ to your brand, it wouldn’t make much sense if people were not to actively follow all that you are posting there, right? In an attempt to add more value for brands promoting their Facebook Group pages, Facebook had introduced the ‘Subscribe via SMS’ feature on its pages sometime back. This feature has recently been extended to users in India as well. Users may now subscribe to Facebook Groups via SMS from either the Group page or by sending an SMS, fan <page_name> to +91-9232232665 (92FACEBOOK). This can make terrific sense not just for the brands, but for Facebook as well.
