Who doesn’t want to get their hands on Free items? I guess everyone, especially if it’s a software that is being away for no cost. I am talking about the Wondershare’s Flash Gallery Factory Standard being given away for free, with the offer starting from August 27 and ending on August 30. The best part? Well after this period the software would cost you a lot, $49.95. This offer is specifically held on the Wondershare Facebook page where they will be giving it away for free.

I haven’t used the Facebook Chat feature for God knows how long. Primarily because I found it absolutely garbage and secondly it was distracting. However the social network today has announced revamping the Chat feature on the social network; making it faster and more stable. Hope that it lives up to the promises.
But what makes the new more important is the fact that the social network has today officially killed support for Microsoft’s old war horse, the Internet Explorer 6. I am not sure if anything more sinister ever existed on or for the Web, but it is slowly being killed. With Facebook, this goes off on September 15, giving every user who might possibly be using the browser a chance to upgrade to a newer version. By the way I wonder how many folks still use the version?

I hate it when decisions and actions are partial and biased. When you would allow one thing and pay no attention to another, when you block one thing and let the other run rampant. Today the social network showed the world that it operates at its own will by removing the entire campaign and impressions of Just Say Now.
The group has over 6,000 members on the fan page, generated over 38 million impressions in a short between August 7 to August 16. The reason? The campaign was about pot legalization in California and had the image of a pot leaf. The image of the leaf is associated directly to smoking and drugs and after a week of being there on Facebook was removed owing to it violating the social network’s policies.

With plans to update the look of the fan pages on Facebook being ancient now, the social network has finally decided to implement the plans for real. Starting today, we will be able to see a simplified version of our pages making it easier to Browse. How? Apparently Facebook will be refining the Page Tabs by narrowing them down to 520 pixels compared to the previous 760 pixels.

Hell with anyone who talks about having freedom on the Internet to do what you like, block or unblock content or users. We are well aware how Facebook has reportedly played with User privacy and guess what, it has another dirty trick. The CEO, Mark Zuckerberg is one person on the planet who you can’t block on Facebook. Forget it if he is ever interested in adding anyone, put aside bothering with notifications or spammy messages.

Facebook only recently introduced Facebook Places, partnering with all major players in the location based social networking arena like Gowalla, Foursquare, etc. They also released the new Facebook App [version 3.1.1] for the iPhone loaded with Places, but I guess it has been buggy. Yesterday Robert Scoble talked about the new feature from Facebook; Tag anywhere. Which actually had him tagged on places where he had never been, added with login issues.
Today, however the social network released version 3.2.2 for the application with fixes for the login issues. The new version is available on the App Store with the Update button on your iPhone. Other than, owing to the huge number of complains and requests from users, Facebook has also specifically mentioned that the app is only available for the users in the US. Though if you are outside the US you will still see the tab, but hitting it would only display a message stating it’s not available in your region [Non-US].

There is nothing better than having a picture doing all the explanation. The image below gives a pretty good summary of the Facebook story and is quite similar to the one we shared earlier this week.
I must admit, I had no clue on the number of servers Facebook has, but 60,000 is quite a lot. Of course it’s dwarfed by the 450,000 servers that Google has. But lets not get into comparison and see the picture:

Everyone knows that your employer to be is bound to check your Facebook profile. If you happen to be a hotshot with things that would tilt the employer’s decision against you, just make sure your Facebook Profile is set to Private.

Experience is the best teacher, I firmly believe that but we have heard an old saying that says a wise person is one who learns from mistakes made by others. I have had trouble in my blogging career, troubles of all sorts. From befriending friends on Twitter, to making a decent Facebook page that engages the right people with the right stuff, all the way to actually writing a post. I just thought I would share what I have learned in this post hoping it helps others and more importantly if others can share tips with us at Startup Meme.
