Today, when I logged in my Facebook account I saw something strange. As most of you know Facebook is upgrading and rolling out many new features. Today it launched Question. This feature will enable users to ask their friends Questions. This is what Adrian Graham, a project manager of Questions said,

There are a lot of places you can go on the internet to ask questions of people who you don’t know, but there are very few places you can go to get responses from your friends,” said Adrian Graham, a project manager for Questions. “We thought that this is where we should focus.

The version is rolled out to current testers first. It will be automatically be upgraded to their riends once they start asking Questions. Those who are eagerly waiting to use it can enable it directly from here.

Screenshot:

When you ask question, you get an option to create poll and restricted answers. This option enables you to restrict answers to only those you select. It also has an attached comment box so that those who want to say something else can also say.

When your friends answers the question or comments anything, the question automatically gets posted on his or her profile. This way the question gets spread to most Facebook Users. This way you get more response to your Question. As users respond to Question asked, each option’s box gets filled and reflect its popularity. In this way, users see the poll Question and result at same time. It also displays the profile picture of those who respond the Question against each options of poll they have selected.

Well, it’s quite a cool feature. What do you think?

LiveGo; All Your Friends at Same Place! is a post from: Extreme Trix

Facebook, the world 2nd largest popular website after Google, has made several attempts to clean spammers and fake people. Though facebook has been successfully in many of the task. Now facebook has come up with another idea to removing and teaching spammers and fake people a good lesson.

Facebook is now dealing very strictly with fake people making fake profiles for their girlfriend, college mates, family members, etc. Though in india, its not considered a big issue, but in some parts of the world, the law has been successfully amended by the facebook authorities. Some progress has also been made to amend this rule in india too.

Anyone who intentionally and without consent impersonate someone else in the media through the Internet or other electronic medias for the purpose of harming,intimidating ,threatening or deceiving others,has conducted a criminal offense will be handled severely.

This rule is stated by the San Francisco Gate, applicable to all countries and people of irrespective community.

The law is directly enforced by the facebook authorities under the act. People tends to take this law as small one, but its not the case so, any person found doing such an activity will be taken into action for $1,000 fine and imprisonment as well.

Therefore its advisable not to waste your money by paying it to facebook authorities in case if you get caught. If you are earning more than $1,000, it might not be a problem for you to pay the fine and get away, but there is an additional punishment also, which is imprisonment.

You can also report to facebook authorities about such activities by clicking on “Report Abuse“. With this measures, its expected that facebook will now clean most of the fake profiles.

Facebook in Action Against Fake Accounts is a post from: Extreme Trix

Today I log in to Facebook to check my all status updates, messages, and comments made on my links and post. While checking everyone status update, I saw the following:

Girl killed herself, after her dad posted This to her Wall

Of course curiosity kicks in my mind, and I click on the link to see why a girl would commit suicide. I was definitely thinking of some pics which would give me a clear scene of what would have happened. But I was shock to see something else.

If you click on the link then you are taken to a Facebook page, which says you have to like it in order to view the father’s alleged message. In some cases, the page will use some high techniques to trick you into sharing the page as a status update with your online friends, but the end result is the same – you’ll be redirected to a web page which asks you to complete a survey.

I think facebook should take very strong measures to avoid these spams, because these are affecting day to day life of people.

This is the warning message from facebook authorities

WARNING !! WARNING !! EXTREME VIRUS THREAT!!
If you see anything about A GIRL WHO KILLED HERSELF OVER SOMETHING HER FATHER WROTE ON HER WALL!!! ***DO*** NOT*** OPEN***
YOU will NOT be able to delete This self -replicating Trojan virus!!
PLEASE PASS ALONG QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE ……OPENS IT !!

Ahh! This cruel world. Do check the post about how to remove Facebook Spam.

“Girl killed herself, after her dad posted This to her Wall” — Facebook Spam is a post from: Extreme Trix

Scammers are making a lot many income from simple looking Facebook Applications. Now, Facebook is turning into Spambook rather than Facebook. One more spam has been added to this book. This new survey scam is a massive hit on Facebook and many people have been scammed.

This Scam claims to reveal your total Facebook Profile looks like the Orkut which displays recent users which saw your profile. The application will use your Facebook Wall to post spam messages onto user’s profile. This is totally SCAM. There is nothing like this which can actually tell how many times your profile has been viewed.

How this SPAM works:

You will see that your friend’s status update saying that he got to know how many people viewed his profile with the number. It will be like this:

_________________________________

My total facebook views are : 9632

Find out what your total profile views are: http:bit.ly/xxxx

________________________________

If you click on the link give, you will be directed to a Facebook Application where it will ask you to Allow the permissions to access your information. As soon as you click “Allow”, the application will automatically post these kinds of Status Updates on your wall which afterwards will infect your friends’ account. This way the SCAM spreads itself.

After the application post the Status Update, it will redirect you to a web page which claims that it can calculate the number of people who viewed your profile.

What you can do if you are victim of this Scam?

If you are infected with this Scam, firstly remove all the Status Updates which the application have automatically added. Then you have to remove the application to stop it accessing your Facebook profile. For this follow these steps:

• Go to Account > Privacy Settings
• You will see an option saying “Apps and Websites“. Below it there will be a link saying “Edit your settings” Click that link
• New page will be opened, there you can see the Privacy options of Apps, Games and Websites which are connected with your Facebook Account.
• The first option will be “Apps you use“. There will be a button saying “Edit Settings”. Click on it.
• After you click it, you will see a list showing all the application to which your Facebook Account is connected.
• Search the application saying “funnysweb“. Remove it from your Facebook Account.

Now you have successfully removed the spamming application. We hope that this post helped you, do consider sharing this with others to spread the awareness and help infected peoples.

The New Facebook Scam, How to Get it Removed? is a post from: Extreme Trix

Ever since the launch of Windows 7, last year it’s been achieving milestones every now and then and quite recently on the occasion of its first anniversary it crossed yet another landmark with more than 240 millions of licenses sold until date and counting. With the Service Pack one due for upcoming months we can only see the mark go on the up direction.

We all know Microsoft always had a special place for students, they have shown it in the past with programs like Dream Spark project to recognize the budding developers and encourage them to go mainstream. The ‘Windows 7 Student Offer’ provides college and university students significant discount on upgrade of Windows 7 Professional Edition (for both 32 bit as well as 64 bit versions) via Download over the internet.

Microsoft Tech Students (section)

A couple of days ago Microsoft announced the offer availability for the students of 11 countries around the World. Spain, Italy, Portugal, Denmark, Belgium (Flemish & French) and New Zealand, Taiwan already got the offers up and running this week and Ireland, Norway and Finland students will be able to make use of this offer from the 11th of November.

Make sure to grab this limited period offer from Microsoft (varies from country to country). Checkout Here for more information.

Windows 7 Student Discount Added More Countries. is a post from: Extreme Trix

There is good news for Google India users. Now Indian users can listen to full-length music free of cost at Google’s Google Music. And the best thing is that it is legal. India has been for the last decade accused of piracy. And with the release of Google Indic music we can listen to almost every Bollywood/Hindi song as Google has launched this service in association with – in.com, Saavn.com and as well as with India’s largest record label, Saregama.

For last year or so there had been rumors that Google was launching a music service for a minimal cost, but Google created this service on the footsteps of YouTube.com. Google launched a similar service in the US last year with MySpace and La La Media Inc.’s Lala.com, but this almost failed.

India and Privacy

According to a study conducted by US India Business Council (USIBC) in 2008, 64% of the market is estimated to be pirated. And the estimated loss by Indian music companies is to be $325 million. So with Google Indic music the estimated piracy will drop by 30% by the end year because internet piracy costs $58 million.

Today, we’re starting a trial to help you search and explore music across thousands of Hindi Bollywood songs at Google Music Search (India) Labs (http://google.co.in/music). You can find the latest Hindi songs, restrict your search to songs from 1980s, listen to songs sung by Kishore Kumar or Shreya Ghoshal or just all songs from the movie Buddha Mil Gaya.” Said Google Indic’s product Manager on their official Google blog.

Almost every song

Yes almost every song from 1980s to the yet to be released Bollywood movies like Golmaal 3, Guzaarish and others can be listened with a pop-up-player and it does need Adobe Flash Player. The sound quality is awesome and it loads faster, so there will be no problem for people with slower connections.

Tough Competition

Similar service was also launched by Guruji.com in 2008 which was a huge success and it was voted No.1 for Music search by Indian users. Juxt Consult, a renowned online research firm in India, did an independent third party research where unbiased users were asked to search for music on Google.com, In.com, Songs.pk and Guruji.com Music Search and compare their experiences. Now let’s see who wins as the competition has toughened up.

Discover Indian Music at Google! is a post from: Extreme Trix

Yes. Don’t get a shock if I say Google, which today stands as the World’s most attractive employer and also rank one among the engineering companies was once hired by Yahoo (which was once its competitor too) to be its default search engine. Well, even I didn’t know about this and shocked too while I come to know. I was just going through Google History, actually timeline, I got an eye on ‘Yahoo! signs up for Google search’. I thought it would be a normal page about a small deal or something, but no it wasn’t! It was not a small deal. It created a lot buzz among the geeks that time, but I don’t think anyone does remember about it today. Do you? Not nah? That’s why I thought why not to share it among others.

On 26 June, 2000 Yahoo! and Google announced that they have entered into an agreement that will make Google, which was one of the fastest growing Web company that time their default search engine from the next 30 days of the agreement. In my opinion, this agreement was what all made the Google Web what it is today. Yahoo! being ruler of that time integrated Google to their online products and made it famous among its users too, which also become a reason for others to choose Google as their favorite and look Yahoo! Search Technologies down upon.

Well, I think it one the best event in Web’s history as it made what all Google is today and needed to be shared with others. For the complete  information about the deal, you can check the official press release. If you liked it please consider sharing it among others.

Google Once Worked For Yahoo as its Default Search. is a post from: Extreme Trix

Hello guys! It’s been a long time I have not posted anything. I know, being an editor it’s my duty to be active, but I was busy doing some work of our network with Ankit. Ankit is also being not so active on blogs and social networks these days. It’s almost two-three month, but he hasn’t written anything yet exept the last post. I was just going through the network blogs, I came through a post by Ankit on Passionate Bloggers, the one of the rarely updated blog in our network, though its content is better than any other blog (as I think).

The post is a small one, reviewing an auction site that could help Mobile Bloggers to easily make money by getting rid of their old mobiles. I was just going through it, found it a bit incomplete and thought why not to write a complete detailed post of it on Extreme Trix, as I had not posted anything from so many days too. I know there are numerous sites which offer you a great deal in return of your old useless mobile, but I think none of them satisfy people completely. Sell My Mobile is a service you can look for. Now you must be thinking that why you should choose it? Is there any special feature? Ask me what not special there!  There are many reasons, some of them are:

Reasons

• It’s a comparison site which make sure you get the best deal.
• It’s is composed of a dedicated team who believes that mobile phone recycling should be encouraged for the sake of the environment.
• You save a lot of time since comparing of prices is done by site itself. This site compares more number of buyers than any other site.
• This site has been ranked number number 1 mobile phone recycling price comparison site in UK.

Main Reasons why you should recycle your mobile are:

You should recycle mobile phones because..

• Old phones are refurbished and shipped to developing countries and reuse, this saves minerals and ores required for manufacturing of new mobiles.
• Refurbished phones are re-sold, giving them a new life and reducing the need for the manufacture of new phones which benefits the environment.
• Old phones are being used to make new ones – benefiting the environment by eliminating the need for new parts manufacture.

Information

They help you to sell your mobile phone handsets and you would get money for old phones. They promote mobile phone recycling by making it easy to find the best deals. There are so many phone buyers around the web, but they all offer different prices. For the same handset there can be a huge difference in price between the highest paying company and the lowest paying company. So, if you are looking to sell your mobile, you should not, but YOU MUST get the best deal so, you can go to Sell My Mobile and compare different buyers’ prices in simple and easy way. At Sell My Mobile they compare prices from all the major mobile phone recycling companies so that you get the best deal for your old mobile.

Screen Shot

They offer the best mobile phone recycling price comparison service and compare more phone buyers than anyone else to ensure you always get the best deal when selling your old mobile. That is why they also ranked No.1 mobile phone recycling price comparison site in the UK* . Selling mobile is easy too, here’s a step by step procedure:

How to Sell?

• Search for your mobile – You can search for your mobile model and manufacturer in the box provided at the top in the site.
• Select the best deal – After you have selected your mobile, Sell My Mobile will display results from all the buyers. You can then compare the prices and choose the buyer accordingly.
• Post your phone – After choosing the buyer, click on sell option and your will be redirected to buyer site where you have to fill details about you and your phone.
• Get your cash – Once the buyer receives the mobile he will send payment to you.

Note

Hope next time when your mobile wears out you will choose to recycle it (or i should say you will sell and get some money for your mobile).

Last time I told you about what updates Twitter did last month? And also about the new Retweet page that they introduced (to only some fortunate users), which is very helpful, especially for all who are using Twitter for business. These days Twitter is up to something different.

They are testing three new features and this time in the search page. They have added three new features called ‘Save this search’, ‘Top Tweet’  and added a search box in sidebar too with up and down uptions.

Save this search

This feature is quite helpful for all who keeps on searching on Twitter for something or another as it gives them an option to save what they have searched and can view it again later on!

Top Tweet

This is not of any use as I think. It just counts the number of Retweets a tweet gets and if crosses 90 or 100 it becomes a top tweet.

Search box

I think yes! It was a needed feature that was missing from Twitter and did a good job by adding it.

What do you think about these features? Drop it down!
