Child Pornography is one of the worst things to happen since the birth of the internet.  The battle against the victimization of children is one that is being fought by agencies worldwide, and it now has over 500 million friends to help them out.

According the Microsoft Blog, Facebook is joining Microsoft in the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s PhotoDNA program to combat child pornography.  For those who are unaware of what the PhotoDNA program is all about. It was developed by Microsoft, working with digital imaging expert Dr. Hany Farid of Dartmouth College (North Hampshire) and it can identifies certain images irrespective of changes made to the image like resizing or cropping.

Microsoft began implementing PhotoDNA technology in Bing and SkyDrive, including images posted to SkyDrive through Hotmail. In over two years the PhotoDNA software was able to identify over 1,500 matches on SkyDrive and 1,500 matches through Bing’s image search index .Facebook is the first online service provider to join Microsoft and use the PhotoDNA software. To stay in perspective, Facebook services host more than 30 billion pieces of shared content, including photos, Web links, news stories, blog posts and more. Searching through them for child pornography will be a tough task, but not impossible thanks to PhotoDNA.


Popular social networking brand, Facebook has now finally rolled out its much questioned facial recognition feature, amidst privacy speculations.
Recognizing you....
Recognizing you....


Launched yesterday, the facial recognition very plainly would get down to recognizing people’s faces on the photos uploaded. It will then suggest to the user that he could tag the featured friend in the image. The new feature will have Facebook suggesting you the names of your friends, family tagged in a particular picture. Tagging practices earlier used to get tasking since the user would have to begin from 0, each time he wished to tag a particular picture. The new feature means that once a particular tag is saved, the user wouldn’t have to type it ever again, since this time the software would have learned the face frequently appearing in the user’s pictures – be it his own or of friends, and family.

Facial recognition makes for a very interesting feature to begin with. However, Facebook states that if the service doesn’t appeal to you, you can disable the feature by visiting the Privacy Settings option on your profile.


There's people who love their friends, and then there are people who REALLY love their friends. Here's a lady who loved her 152 friends on Facebook so much that she tattooed all their profile pictures in the form of thumbnails on her arm. It definitely looks cool, but what if she has a falling out with one of them? It's almost the same rule as never tattoo your significant other's name on yourself.
Do you love your friends? Like she does?
Do you love your friends? Like she does?


Watch the video below which shows the process of how she got 152 thumbnails tattooed on her arm. It seems bizarre enough to be a publicity stunt and she wouldn't be the first to get tattoos as a publicity stunt. However, imagine how much your heart would melt if you were one of of her friends and the next time you saw her, your face was on her arm (hopefully not on the underside because that would just be a diss).
              

Instagram Updates with Photo Albums for Liked Pictures

Posted by Abhishek Tuesday, 7 June 2011 0 comments


Instagram got a major update today in addition to faster uploads and autocomplete hashtags. The major update is that the photo sharing app now creates a photo album of images that you've liked. Previously, Instagram was just a stream of photos and liking a photo had no benefit to you, just an ego boost to the person who put it up. Now, aside from just the photos you've uploaded, you have instant access to view photos you've liked over and over again, unless, of course the owner takes it down.
Like pictures and they'll become a photo album

You can also add a little bit more to your profile by way of profile pictures (from your Photo Library) and web links. This way when you like someone's picture, they have somewhat of an idea who you are and who exactly is liking their pictures. So, now going from the simple take picture, add filter and upload app, Instagram is on its way to becoming a full on social network purely based on photography.

The store, as per the sales events brand has integrated the shopping experience right into the heart of social networking, which means users will not have to leave their page to or go through the hassle of a separate login. Users can use the popular ‘like’ and ‘share’ feature on Facebook to recommend a certain product to their friends, or could also ask their friends for a word on the product that has caught their fancy.

99labels claims to offer up to 90 per cent off on all its premier lifestyle, and fashion brands; making it an offer, the users wouldn’t want to refuse. In addition to it, users will be able to update themselves constantly on the various discounts, deals and offers that keep surfacing on the site, time and again. 99labels would also offer celebrity gossip, trivia quizzes and contests, which 99labels claims would add to the interest quotient of its users.
