How to Puppy Shame Urself in Facebook

Let's see How to Get Puppy Shamed in Facebook.

Click the below Image to view in full screen and then read the blog

Yesterday, I was hanging out with my friends in Facebook wall, Suddenly I noticed my Facebook ticker popped up with a message with my relatives (very old man)

• Mr.XXYXZ has read the following news.
• Poonam Panday goes topless

I was like, what Mamaji , what are you reading. In a minute the reputation is gone, even though he has not committed any sin or crime, this is a very much embarrassing situation.
Then I started doing my research, what went wrong, where and how?

First He has subscribed to Yahoo App, without knowing any privacy features, he has allowed yahoo to publish the articles he read in the yahoo site.

This is the main reason for the most embarrassing situation or being puppy shamed.

Yahoo is not the only app does this, there are other apps like Washington post,
Recently, my friend saw some “Actress Spicy Video Songs” in DailyMotion and the same has been published in his wall too.

What We should know?

First of all, think twice when approving any app to your Facebook, Do you need that ?
Every App has it own privacy setting, you can either remove the option to post on your Facebook wall or you can make this post visiable only to you.

Now Iphone 4s and IOS 5 has completly integrated with twitter, windows phone melted with Facebook, Android with FB ,twitter and Google +.

Now all your so called personnel devices are no more personnel, one wrong move you are exposed to all. So be careful, learn , have knoweledge of the application before using the same.

What I want to Say is... Use Social network wisely

Don't get caught ...

Will Apple Fall Again, Will History Repeat ?

Way back in 80’s when Xerox engineers came up with their ingenious Mouse and window based Operating System. The Xerox Boss laughed and said what do you think, we are going to sell mouse and put the project on scrap.

Young Engineers thronged to the Xerox center to study the Alto and Steve Jobs gave a commercial hit with the Mouse and GUI based or Window based Operating System to the world.

When all was going well ,Microsoft came in to the play , they developed (they indeed screwed Apple over icons and Dialog patent) a GUI operating system called Windows.

Stop Stop , this is a very old history, why we should talk about this now.

Because the war is out again, indeed in the same style. that time it was PC and this time it was Mobile platform

Then

Microsoft created Windows Operating System and distributed to multiple Hardware Vendors and that indeed cost very badly to Apple, Still now they are not out of it. The Status quo has changed from then.

Now

Google has created a open source Operating System Android OS (decent copy cat of iOS) and doing the same, its distributing the Mobile Operating System to various hardware vendors . Apple is still going with its Hardware + Software Bounded Model, which has already cost them the huge PC market.

Now to more foray Microsoft has launched its new Mobile Operating System, which means they also providing the software to multiple hardware.

New Mobile OS are all set to come from Nokia + Intel called MeeGo, so the race is heating up.

Now if you take the stats , Once Apple iPhone has no competitor but now Google’s Android is capturing the smartphone market.

Now the Big Question is will Apple release iOS for other hardware ?

For me this is a simple question but for the company its a huge strategy shift, that will change the whole stuff.

But Apple has won our hearts with its cool creation iphone(same way they won with MAC long back). Will the History Repeats????…..

Everybody Knows Group Feature or Listing is already available in FACEBOOK(FB) , Don’t think what I am going to talk about.


Problem Scenario:

I usually get lot of friends request from Family and some old so called friends or unknown or Friends of Friends, I was either forced to accept (in case of family) or ignore the friends request. I personnaly fell FB is my second world and I don’t want to show case to the whole real world. As of now in FB its either take it or leave it.

Solution

FB has revamped their existing Group or List feature , now we can post status, pictures, link, notes etc and share only to the group. The notification will go only to the group members. I think its really one awesome feature, FB has worked to increase privacy of the user.

They will provide a group email id , so that we can upload photo via Mobile phone or email and it will be shared only to the Group.

The Group will be displayed in your Home page Left side widget and it will show you specific notification count for each group (This is quiet interesting)

Other Features
