Good things come to those who wait. For almost a decade, we Facebook users have been waiting to be able to express our disagreement or disapproval with a single click. At our insistence, Mark Zuckerberg has now only announced the imminent arrival of the Dislike button, which will almost certainly bear a different name, as the founder of this social network says that he will not offer it as a weapon for criticism, but for an expression of empathy. No more weird moments when we like tragic news, then.
You probably all have friends who annoy you with their Facebook statuses, with whom they are desperately looking for self-affirmation or their five minutes of fame on the social network. That's probably why you also have a group of friends that you've unfollowed. Because they are so very annoying. But the line between online and real life is blurring, so comedian Jason Horton asked what would happen if people spoke like their Facebook statuses? And there were dialogues from an alternative reality that will give you chills.
A puffy cloud rolls across the blue sky when we log in and the gospel is heard while we chat with friends - welcome to Facegloria, Brazil's evangelical social network. Although it looks a lot like Facebook at first glance, they want to be technically and morally better. This is a network where images of homosexuality, all violent content, erotic content and about 600 "forbidden" words are prohibited. There is also no "like" button, just an "amen" button. It all sounds pretty innocent, right?
Are you curious about who doesn't want to be your friend anymore on Facebook? There is a new-old app called Who Deleted Me on Facebook that reveals who deleted you from their friends list on Facebook. It is a gesture that hurts many people, so use it with caution, because it can happen that you will realize that Tanja is not as good a friend as you thought. And how does it work? The application creates a list of current friends, keeps track of it and notifies you if someone removes you.
Facebook and smartphone have become like ass and shirt. More and more users use the most popular social network on the go, through a dedicated application. But Facebook is a greedy business, and not everyone has the most powerful smartphone. And since low-cost devices have recently flooded the market, Facebook is now meeting these users with a "diet" version of the mobile application that does not require such a fast Internet connection and powerful hardware.
Although video calls on mobile devices are not exactly new, what is new is that we will soon be able to make them right through Facebook Messenger. At Facebook, they showed their language to Skype and took care of their own video calls within the network.
Where do we make new friends today? On Facebook, but where else? The +1 Add Friend brooch, for which Dorota Pankowska took inspiration from social networks, more precisely from Facebook, proves that making friends online has become a social norm. As a result, the word 'friend' also started to be used in quotation marks. Would you have it?
Facebook is not resting on its laurels. He is spreading his tentacles left and right, and his Creative Labs development department is also diligently forging new things. The latest thing he signed up for is Riff, a mobile app for iOS and Android phones that lets you create group videos. We can respond to a recording with a recording.
Do you know basic Facebook tricks? Like it or not, Facebook has hooked the younger and older generations. It seems as if there is no escape from him. Despite various protests and outcry at changes to the website's appearance or privacy rules, people like sheep are returning to Facebook. And if we really have to, it's good to know some "secrets" that will help preserve a little more privacy and solve our mental state with one click. Here are useful Facebook tricks that we must know.
Facebook page is for businesses, services, etc. a marketing tool, and the number of likes is often a measure of success and relevance. That's why Fbox, a physical digital Facebook page like counter found on Indiegogo, was born. Admittedly, likes as such do not (yet) bring profit, but today we are so obsessed with them that e.g. a bar that shows a high number on such a meter must have attracted customers more easily than one that only has them as a place to eat. Will likes become the new Michelin stars?
Would you like to work for Mark Zuckerber? If you've always wanted to work for Facebook, which would make sense for most of us, considering how much time we spend on it, then it's worth listening to the advice of Facebook's founder, who revealed what he's looking for in Barcelona at MWC 2015 people who are looking for employment with him.
Facebook is expected to become a social network of the "living dead" around 2065, as the number of dead people's profiles will exceed the number of living people. To prevent this from happening, since it is still intended to maintain and establish contacts, Facebook is now also getting a (digital) will, which means that you can entrust the management of your profile to someone else after your death. Until now, it has only frozen, and even for that it was necessary to overcome many bureaucratic obstacles.
