Facebook has become increasingly important for the brands to stay relevant and important on the social media. Facebook pages are a central hub for most brands to connect with their millions of fans and the social network keeps adding newer features to make this more easy and convenient. Now, Facebook has added yet another feature to pages.
While Facebook’s IPO was quite eventful in a lot of ways, it is now coming to light that all may not have gone as well as it seemed. A lawsuit has now been filed against Facebook as well as its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, for concealing important information regarding company’s revenue forecasts from investors at large.
Facebook has been rolling out its Timeline profiles for quite some time. While many have responded very excitedly and happily towards it, calling it a far better way of organizing their profiles, others have complained about the privacy issues that the Timeline brings into question. Now, it has been revealed that Facebook is working on further redesigning the Timeline pages.
Facebook and Google haven’t been on particularly good terms. The rather unpleasant relationship between the two extends well back into the past and the main reason is that Facebook has been refusing to allow Google to use its user data. While Facebook officially says that it won’t share the data because of privacy reasons of the users, Larry Page says that is false.
Tumblr hasn’t been very active on the money-making front, so when folks at the company decided to add a creative version of ads and ‘sponsor products’ to finally start making money from its millions of users. Now, in a recent discussion, Tumblr’s CEO David Karp has elaborated on how advertising on Tumblr is fundamentally different from Facebook ads.
A lot of social networks have launched since the early days of the web and few have lived to popularity and success. While Facebook, the starchild of the social media, rides on a high tide with its near-billion users, Microsoft has launched a social network of its known under the name So.cl. Clearly, an awkward name may not be the only reason it doesn’t sound too interesting.
Facebook has been closed to anyone aged under 13 until now. One of the primary reasons for this is to let the kids aged less than 13 to stay safe. However, more and more under-13 kids are using Facebook and many of them are doing so with their parents’ consent. And now we have a rumor that Facebook may actually allow under-13s to use the social network. Is the rumor true?
Microsoft has launched the beta version of its social networking platform named So.Cl. The company believes that this platform can give students a new way to learn. This site is designed by Microsoft’s FUSE Labs. By using So.cl, students can share useful information quickly, and build their own pages. Students can collect information from both inside and outside the classroom. Microsoft has been testing this site in selected universities since last year.
Facebook has been quite keen on buying a number of start-ups ever since the company first unveiled its plans to go public. Now that Facebook is public, the social network still continues scoring other ventures and start-ups. The latest in the series is the social gift-sending app called Karma.
Facebook notifications have been bit of an annoyance for a lot of users. While Facebook definitely has ample options to manage them, tweaking these notifications in fine details is too much of a work for the users and so they keep popping up and pestering the users. Now, the social network has shipped out a number of new user controls which enable a user to better manage the notifications he receives.
Facebook has been lambasted and criticized numerous times for its privacy policy. However, this may enter the legal realm now that a number of Facebook subscribers have consolidated a total of 21 cases into a single lawsuit against the social network. The suit is demanding Facebook to pay a whopping sum of $15 billion for tracking user activity without permission from the users.
Facebook has rolled out a new app for the iPhone. The name of the new app is ‘Pages Manager’. Users can manage pages and stay in touch with friends through the app. Though the new app features are similar to the standard Facebook mobile application, all the features are dedicated to fan pages.
Social media has become critically important for business organizations because it is a novel way to engage the users and get them know a certain brand or business well enough. Facebook, being the king of digital social media, is considered vital for business advertising and marketing.

We have long been hearing of the social network, Diaspora. The network gained a lot of traction in the open-source world when its idea became known two years ago. The idea behind it was to give the users more freedom and control over their social interactions, quite like the philosophy that governs the open-source world.
Being trolled online has become somewhat of a norm. People consider creating fake accounts abusing someone’s identity as a casual indulgence, which is indeed a very dangerous attitude. Specifically, with the boom of social networks, the trend has gained traction. In what may turn out to be the first case of its kind, a woman who has been trolled on Facebook now aims to bring these trolls to the realm of legal action.
