Are you bored with status updates that are 'via iPhone' or 'via Web'? We know you are, and we also know of a great way to get away from the tedium and confuse all your friends at the same time, with a handy new website that offers you the ability to post Facebook status updates from all kinds of weird and wonderful places, ranging from a Commodore 64 to a Sperm Whale.
Part of Facebook's 'something awesome' event, alongside the introduction of Skype-powered video calling, the social network also brought a whole new Facebook Chat box to the table.
By now, I’m sure readers of Redmond Pie have heard of Google’s answer to the Facebook phenomenon: it’s called Google+ and the social network, as we’ve written before, is seeing extremely fast growth.
Facebook users have long been able to embed media on their profile pages through statuses and wall posts, but now the possibility has been added to embed photos, videos and web links through its comment feature.
After weeks of waiting, Apple has finally approved the official native Google+ app for the iPhone, which represents a giant leap forward from the web-only experience that was available up until now. This marks yet another beginning step in Google's quest to dominate the social networking world.
According to a source familiar to the matter, Facebook is planning to integrate a video chat feature into Facebook Chat, the site's online instant messaging service. In order to do this, Facebook is said to be partnering up with Skype.
Facebook has been rather leaky lately. We’ve heard and covered a leaked photo sharing app, “Project Spartan” and a reportedly imminent iPad app. Today, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has confirmed the launch of a new Facebook feature/product which is set to be announced next week. Could this be in reaction to all the attention that Google+ has been getting this week? Maybe, just maybe!
As Facebook continues its process of world domination, HTC has introduced a new phone with heavy Facebook integration. The Status, as it's now called (formerly HTC ChaCha), is a new AT&T phone with many Facebook oriented features, including a dedicated Facebook button, making sharing content on Facebook just a few seconds away.
We’ve previously covered the leaked photo sharing app that Facebook is working on. But this potential leak is of much, much greater consequence! The world’s most popular social networking site is said to be working on a mobile platform to “take on” Apple’s iOS.
Just hours ago, we reported on a leak that revealed a new photo sharing app Facebook has been working on. We're now getting our hands on even more screenshots showcasing other features, such as commenting features built right in, as well photo capturing (although that wasn't all that surprising).
