What Is Hot On The GOOGLE Facebook War Front You Can’t Miss?
When GOOGLE Plus was test
released a few weeks ago, a new war of the Titans which could shape the
history of the 21st century, just started. A few weeks on, it is
interesting to see how new and unexpected events change its course.
With a massive
lead of nearly seven hundred million members worldwide, Facebook, without
doubt, is in a leading unstoppable position in the social media. Far from
anything its inventors designed or planned for the platform, Facebook is
credited with influencing or bringing about life changing movements like Spring
Revolution and the Jasmine revolution.
For GOOGLE Plus, it looked like this
gigantic vantage position of Facebook will be almost impossible to surmount.
However an array of hard core “suicide hackers”, who unlike the Al Qaeda or Taliban
have no particular allegiance, is proving to be great unpaid allies to GOOGLE
in this war against Facebook.
Despite the fact that GOOGLE
keeps the figures and truth about the membership and acceptance of its new
social media platform under the wraps, frustrating observers and Facebook, the
numbers look impressive from various “estimates”.
Though this can be credited
partly to the massive awareness creating advertisement by GOOGLE, the leverage
it is wielding from its existing flagship platforms like CHROME, inadvertently
brought in to play by the work of the army of the volunteer hackers, is
seriously and quickly shifting the sand under the feet of Facebook and other
social media platforms like Twitter.
For example, the hackers have
come up with powerful and ingenious extensions for CROME, the very popular
browser of GOOGLE, which shows the WALL of your Facebook page and your Twitter
Time line in your GOOGLE Plus page!
The CHROME extension called Extended
Share For GOOGLE Plus is particularly “nasty” being a feature which allows
you to repost your Post to Four other leading Social Networks, Facebook,
Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr and others.
What this means is those visitors
no longer need to visit Facebook or Twitter to post in to those or check out
what is new with their friends with the help of the extensions like the
following, already available to CHROME users.
- The GOOGLE + Facebook Extension
- The GOOGLE + Twitter Extension
- G+ME: Collapse the GOOGLE+ Stream in to a Dhashboard
- How to Make GOOGLE + Top Bar Sticky
To counter this onslaught of
GOOGLE, Facebook also have come up with much needed features like Video Calling and some ingenious
ones like the Open Air browsing stations in Holiday Resorts and Hotels where
you can log in to your Facebook page in your swim suits and bikinis!

Has Obama got a secret weapon for the Chinese?
There had been recent reports of Facebook loosing a bit of its sheen.
CNN reported on recent signs of 'Facebook Fatigue' and another interesting story about it being ripe for some imminent disaster. There were also reports about alternative and upcoming social media sites like Tumblr which could soon replace Facebook.
Despite the recent drop out of about six million Facebook users in the US, I guess all this talk of Facebook’s loss of face has to do with its valuation of over a hundred billion dollars, based on a membership of over six hundred million users.
The reality is, with the world population approaching seven billion by 2011, the tsunami of Facebook is only in the making!
At the heart of its powerful social impact on the world, which can only be likened to a tsunami, are factors which the inventors of this social media site wouldn’t have been even aware.
Anthony Weiner could have almost touched his women!
Article first published as Anthony Weiner Could Have Almost Touched His Women! on Technorati.
One can only feel great admiration and respect for the courage and poise with which Huma Abedin is facing the tempest raised by her husband’s misdemeanour at a time of extreme vulnerability, as a woman who is in to the third month of pregnancy.
I wish her well and hope she will continue to be strong and be able to see through this crisis together with her husband, as a couple. After all, their relationship and interfaith marriage are proof enough that the couple has great power of introspection and great strength to live by their conviction, leaving enough space for each other.
However rather than die out with the public confessions Anthony Weiner has done so far, with additional material released and being circulated on the internet and media, the storm seems to be only intensifying, with the clamour for his resignation becoming more and more loud.
Japanese Internet kissing machine is ready!
Years before, in the beginning days of the internet, when everyone was struggling with 28k and 56 k modem connections, I used to wonder when things will improve to make human contact experience possible. At last it has become a reality now. Well, almost!
This invention by the Japanese gives them a heads up for the next generation consumer electronics and perhaps new dimensions for social networking.Hopefully very soon people on Facebook should be able to share kissing experience with those on orkut!

Japanese lab invents Internet kissing machine
CNN) -- We admit to being sort of creeped out by this: A Japanese lab has created a device that may let let you "French kiss" someone over the Internet.
And by "kiss," we mean waggle your tongue on a plastic straw, thereby making another plastic straw waggle remotely on someone else's tongue.
Hot, huh?
Well, the folks at Tokyo's Kajimoto Laboratory say it's just the beginning of what could become a full-on person-to-person experience over the Internet.
The lab, part of The University of Electro-Communications, posted a video in which a researcher demonstrates the "Kiss Transmission Device." It's a motorized box that looks a little like a police Breathalyzer.
Watch the video of the "Kiss Transmission Device"
In the video, Nobuhiro Takahashi, a graduate student and researcher at the university, manipulates the plastic tube on one device with his tongue. A program stores the movements on a computer and then transmits them to another device, causing its tube to move -- presumably in someone else's mouth.
The idea is to help lovers -- in long-distance relationships, say -- by transmitting the tactile sensation of kissing from one person to another. The lab is running both devices on the same computer, but says a system could be set up to connect them via the Web.
"Kiss information" can be recorded and replayed, presumably meaning someone could save and share a "kiss" over and over.
"For example, if you have a popular entertainer use this device and record it, that could be hugely popular if you offer it to fans," Takahashi says. (Can you say, "Justin Bieber"?)
The researchers seem to realize that most people might not exactly find licking a plastic tube a suitable replacement for sucking face. But there are refinements on the way, they say.
"The elements of a kiss include the sense of taste, the manner of breathing and the moistness of the tongue," Takahashi said. "If we can re-create all of those, I think it will be a really powerful device."
