F8 Facebook


Facebook is a radically revised its profile page, start the "Timeline" - a new way to tell the story of your life on a single page, allowing users to listen to music, watch movies and read the news without leaving the site .

In announcing the series of changes to f8, the annual conference of Facebook developers in San Francisco, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and CEO, said: "Millions of people heal their life stories on Facebook every day and 'n no way to share a time that falls from your profile page ... we worked on the "timeline" for the entire year ... It is the story of his life and completely new way of expression.

"It has three parts: all your stories, your programs and a new way to express who you are."

Zuckerberg said he wanted people to share the "life" on Facebook and the "total control" of how their content is published on the web. Use your profile to show the new schedule, Zuckerberg showed images of the same child, which is inserted into the new profile page, which is organized by year. "Timeline" is thrown out of the next "few weeks".

He said he wanted people to "fill the gaps" so that the personal information of all users' was to their Facebook profile. At the meeting, which is streaming thousands of people living around the world, Zuckerberg, announced a series of partnerships with the music, media and gaming companies, like Spotify, Netflix, Zynga [Farmville Maker], and the Washington Post. The new development will allow users to listen to music, watch movies and read the news without leaving Facebook, from this day forward.

Adding content to Facebook is the first social network allows users to access content directly through an application without leaving the site.

Zuckerberg said the company was taken to focus on a "new class of applications," bringing the content directly into your Facebook news service. In describing the "graph open," said Mark Zuckerberg, the new way to interact with applications in the flow of news is "no friction".

Initial reactions to technology analysts have been positive, with many agree that change has further increased the advantage of Facebook on Google in the social space - that privacy remains.

"With its new" timeline "and the changes that provide real-time discovery of content and activities is itself like Facebook, not only your online social graph, but your online life. These changes, not only help to eclipse its rival Google, but will open new opportunities for marketers with new types of customer experiences, long-term commitment, advertising, and customer intelligence - but concerns about confidentiality and immaturity in how to do these things effectively, will make a go slow, "said Sean Corcoran, an analyst at Forrester Technology.

Google has launched a new social network, Google +, earlier this year, rival Facebook. And 'now more than 25 million members and has received praise from privacy settings and a clean design.

Users of social networks will now be able to do more than just "like" something. The social network has added "verbs" in its official language. People will now be able to say they have "seen" a movie or "cooked" meals.

Facebook, which has more than 750 million subscribers, has also announced the failed drive is a search engine's website, which attracts half a billion users in a day.

Rick Santorum


Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has decided to do something about his problem with Google, apparently with the company to remove the dirt with the results for his name.

Just type his name in the browser search and you'll see why. Instead of campaign sites and pages of Wikipedia, both Top Results for "Santorum" link to errors, gender definitions of the old name of Pennsylvania senator, which was distributed by rights activist gay columnist Dan Savage and joker.

In response to comments by a former senator in 2003, identified with gay sexuality and polygamy and incest, Savage has launched an online contest to redefine the word "Santorum". The winning result is not approved for children, to say the least, and Santorum, 53, is tired of "dirt" as he calls it. White House hopes reported asked Google to filter the unflattering results, which are high on the list for over six years.

"I doubt that there was something similar on Joe Biden, will get rid of it," he told Politico. "If you're a responsible business, do not give that kind of place that affect the business." Hope of the White House said that "it allows the activity of dirt that purveyed through their website or their system is one thing that they say can not handle, but I suspect that's not true."

The campaign has yet to return a request for comment.

Google Answer: Do not blame the messenger, blame the webmaster.

"Google search results are a reflection of the contents and information are available on the Web," Gabriel Stricker, a spokesman for the company said in a statement. "People who want to remove the content from the Internet should contact the webmaster of the page directly.

"When the page is webmaster of the Internet, it will be removed from Google search results through our normal review process."

Stricker said Google "does not delete the content from our search results, except in very limited cases, such as illegal and violations of our webmaster guidelines."

While Santorum criticized both wild and Google several times to research results, he also used the issue to raise donations for the campaign.

"Savage and his perverse sense of humor is why my kids do not Google the name of the father," Santorum wrote in a letter in July to support the campaign, according to the Statesman. "That's why I need your support today, and your share of $ 25, $ 50, $ 100 or $ 250 campaign. You can help now by a small or large in the campaign. Do not let Dan Savage and the extreme left to win. "

In 2003, an interview with The Associated Press, Santorum said gay sex "undermines the fundamental principles of our society and the family."

"If the Supreme Court says you have the right to consensual sex within your home," Santorum said in the interview, "then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right incest, you have the right to adultery. You are entitled to nothing. undermine the fabric of our society? I would say yes, he does. "
