Recently, Facebook made the decision to discontinue support of their essential APIs for BlackBerry and WhatsApp announced they would end support for BlackBerry 10 and BBOS at the end of 2016.We are extremely disappointed in their decision as we know so many users love these apps. We fought back to work with WhatsApp and Facebook to change their minds, but at this time, their decision stands (but let them know how you feel on social media, using the hashtag #ILoveBB10Apps). Despitethis, we have worked hard to ensure our end users have the best experience in light of this decision, and are continuing to search for alternate solutions."

So if you don't want it to be discontinued speak up.

You can now insert JPEG and JPG images in comments on your Facebook Page on PC

In a announcement today, Facebook unveiled a facility for users to add JPEG or JPG images to their comments.  Facebook has done so by introducing some tweaks to its website.  This tweak will not only help you in communicating in a better way but also add fun quotient to commenting.  

Those who love replying using memes and images are in for a treat with Facebook’s latest tweak. By using the camera icon in the comment’s panel you can upload an image to the comments section of a status update, Facebook share or any other activity.

You can click on the image in the comment to view a larger version of it in the photo viewer but you cannot comment on it. Pages have not been given this feature just yet, you will only be able to comment on your friends’ status messages or group posts.  As of now GIFs are not supported in the upload image to comments tweak.  Users will also not be able to use this feature on the mobile web, iOS and Android Apps as of now but both GIFs and mobile support should come slowly know Facebook.

Android and iOS users can however view the images posted in comments by PC users.They can, however, view the image replies.

You can log in to your Facebook page from your PC and check out this feature.  If for some reason you can’t see the camera icon, don’t worry, Facebook has said that the tweak is being rolled out slowly and steadily to all users.

Your Facebook 'Likes' reveal more than what you think

Remember my earlier blog in which I had asked if Facebook users were trusting too much.  If you thought that you liked your friends new hairstyle or your new phone, you did be surprised how much you like can really reveal.  A study by researchers at University of Cambridge has predicted the personality, sexual orientation, age, race, IQ, political views and many other things based on 'Likes' alone.  The researchers used a model of 58000 Facebook users to conduct the research.

Facebook users all over the world beware, you may not know it but you 'Like' may reveal more that you think.  It may not only reveal your buying or shopping habits but also many things you may not like to tell other.  The University of Cambridge has released a study of 58000 US based Facebook users and they accurately pinned down the many very very personal details of Facebook users.  The study was conducted from a period 2007 to 2012 and it revealed the age, race, IQ, sexuality, political views of the users studied.

The most astonishing fact was that the study was conducted only on basis of the 'Likes' listed by the users which included photos, your friends recent updated, products, sports, musicians, books, restaurants and websites.  The study further said that, "Likes represent a very generic class of digital records, similar to Web search queries, Web browsing histories, and credit card purchases,".  The participants, users of Facebook based in US had given researchers access to their Facebook page and their 'Likes' were fed into specific algorithms.  The researchers than created a model based on the statistics which predicted the very personal and private details.  The results were than corroborated with the information from the profile and the personality tests.  

Mr.Michal Kosinski, the lead researcher of the team said that "Each person, on average, liked 170 things, "Some liked only one thing and there were people who liked thousands of things. We removed those. We looked at people who liked between one and 700 different things."

Why the research was conducted is not known, but the varying degree with which the study was successful in pin pointing has alarmed many people.  The simple 'Like' you may have posted to get some discount or special offer from a product may actually tell people what you really are.  Facebook spokesman Fred Wolens has said that the  predictions are "hardly surprising."

The implications of the study may escape many of you who are Facebook users but it can gravely violate your privacy if such kind of information is sought and compiled by some unwanted and anti social group or person.

So next time you post a 'Like' beware.  The Facebook is already reeling under the loss of users in the teenage band for first time since its launch and any more news especially the disturbing kind can shake its credibility amongst the users who are hardly safe in the digital age.
