Facebook video call

It's been out now for a while, and yes it's from Skype (Skype now owned by Microsoft), it's the Facebook Video Call feature...



My opinion is, the video quality is poor!
To even get it started is a mess, I wasted time doing reboots with my laptop and multiple downloads of the add-on...

To get started see  Facebook page

Also when I finally called someone, they didn't have the add-on :(, *sight*

This is one heck of a job getting it to work, also helping others get it! (people I work with, doesn't even know how to plug in a mouse)

It didn't pick up my input sound, and my webcam had some trouble. I know for others this was a smooth install, but for me it wasn't.

You are now able to call someone straight from there profile
Even leave a video message

Social security Update! Safego!

Safego by bitdefender is an app for Facebook which protects your computer, while you browse sites like Facebook

   Posts on your wall, comments from friends, Inbox messages: sharing's the name, having fun is the game. Well, at least until an infected link or a ton of spam steps in to spoil it.Using in-the-cloud scanning, BitDefender safego keeps your social networking account safe so that you and your PC don't get into e-trouble. An efficient BitDefenderspam repellent also helps keep your message flow free from this kind of blah-blah.

Safego uses Bitdefenders cloud scanner to scan your Facebook for bad links and spam!  It's like Magically scanning the links in the background while you socialize and explore.

Install

After installation, BitDefender safego automatically scans the content posted on users’ Wall and News Feed  Users will be warned in case a message in their News Feed, on their Wall or in their Inbox contains links to malware or is considered to be spam by the BitDefender scanning engines.


How does it work?

BitDefender safego uses the BitDefender antimalware and antiphishing engines to scan URLs in the cloud. This scanning process is based on a blacklist of untrusted web sites and on heuristic detection.

Uninstall Safego

The BitDefender safego application can only be installed subsequent to obtaining users’ consent as to the application’s right to access the content of the users’ Facebook account.

Just as with any other application for Facebook, users can uninstall it by going to the Privacy settings of their Facebook profile and then click Remove.

The thing for me is, I always wanted such an app (application), and now it is here:

More on this app later, as I test and explore it :) 

Facebook real-time feed on your wall

Facebook has begun testing a new feature in the news feed that allow users to see what their friends are liking, sharing and commenting on in real time.
The Happening Now sidebar appears in a column to the right of the primary news feed, duplicating much of that content in shorter form, as shown in the screenshot above from Dazeinfo.

Users can click on an update to pull up more information without leaving the feed:

Mashable

Facebook is constantly updating the site so it stays new, fresh and "the best"

Before Facebook, was myspace
and the reason myspace died, was because it wasn't being "upgraded" like Facebook!
Facebook stays new...

New internet addresses for the test

IPv6 is the next-generation of unique identifying numbers for computers and other gadgets connecting to the internet and is designed to replace the original addressing system, IPv4, which is nearing exhaustion. IPv6 provides more than four billion times more addresses than IPv4 - more addresses, for example, than there are grains of sand on Earth.

The change to IPv6 mainly impacts internet service providers, websites and network operators who have to make sure their systems can handle the new online addresses and properly route traffic. News 24 

Great news for people with "big" websites! I must say since the "trial"test today, I have experienced faster page load on Google and Facebook! The pages look and feel stable.
It will be a huge job to switch everything over to IPv6, but it's worth it...

facebook sleeve tattoo

Video ~ woman gets facebook sleeve tattoo on her arm...

Having friends is a good thing, nobody wants to be alone! And showing your love to them is alright, but getting them tattooed on your arm,  is taking the facebook craze way to far

The artist who applied the tattoo, has admitted it was a transfer, not a tattoo.  

No matter what it is, it's still a little crazy! 

Facebook and Skype As Friends ?

Facebook and Skype as friend and team up ?



As said Skype 5.0 has some new feature and some Facebook users will love
like News 24 says:
"The new Skype version 5.0 for Windows includes a Facebook tab and integrates Facebook's news feed and phonebook into Skype, the Luxembourg-based Skype said in a statement"


"Skype users can call Facebook friends directly on mobile or landline phones, send SMS messages or make free Skype-to-Skype calls to Facebook friends who are also Skype users, it said."


that sounds great !


"They can also post status updates to Facebook that can be synched with Skype "mood" messages and comment on Facebook friends' updates and wall posts."


Seems like Facebook just got themselves a great program for persons to use instead of going on the Facebook website.
Just a pity you can't chat from the Skype program/application.
I would have preferred it more if they use like a browser inside Skype, but thats there development...
Every other site that can connect with Facebook isn't that good,The best is to go on the site.
What do you think ?
