How To Check If Someone Else Is Accessing Your Facebook Account

Sure, you could always change your password, but lets face it, you aren’t going to do that unless you absolutely have to – unless your password really is the word “password”, in which you should change it immediately (I’m serious). I don’t blame you, but there has to be another way of uncovering suspicious activity on your account. The feature I’m about to show you is a nice little security setting built into Facebook that will help you quickly detect if anybody else has been secretly logging into and using your Facebook account. To get to the security settings I’ve been alluding to, log into your Facebook account and click on Account at the top right of the page.
If you’re geeky and keep up with all the tech news, you probably already know that Facebook added an SSL feature, but for everybody else: You can make your Facebook profile more secure by turning this option on, and here’s how to do it.

Facebook Adds More Mobile Privacy Control

Facebook plans on rolling out more privacy management features to users who access the social network via their mobile devices. According to a blog post by Rose Yao , a mobile product manager at Facebook, mobile users will now be able to view details about the information they’ve shared with different applications and websites. They will also be able to adjust their settings when they’re on the go. The Applications and Websites section of one’s privacy settings will contain a full list of the applications being used, and Facebook users will also be able to see when these applications last accessed their information. In addition, it will be possible to tweak other settings, including access to one’s basic profile information, photos and videos, and friends’ information. To look at privacy controls on a mobile device, users should visit m.facebook.com/privacy , or they can visit the Settings page and click on the “change” link next to “Privacy Settings.” http://mashable.com/2010/12/08/facebook-mobile-privacy/

iPhone App Uses Barcode Scans for Product Recommendations

http://mashable.com/2010/11/22/barcode-hero/ Blake Scholl and Jason Crawford are two Amazon alumni transferring their e-commerce background and social product discovery experience to mobile in the form of Barcode Hero, an iPhone application that is receiving a massive update today. Barcode Hero is designed to be a community where people share product recommendations through barcode scans. The application [iTunes link], a product of Scholl and Crawford’s KimaLabs, originally launched in August. Today’s update better surfaces those recommendations to help app users make more informed purchase decisions while shopping. In version 1.0, Barcode Hero users could scan barcodes on products, leave short product comments and give their review in the form of a thumbs up or thumbs down. The application was built to be incredibly social in nature, so users could find and follow friends, post products to their social networks and compete Foursquare-style to become the king or queen of each of the 50,000 product categories.

Users will be able to access the recently launched Applications, Games, and Websites Privacy Dashboard to view which parties have access to their profile, rescind permissions, control what info is shared with the apps of friends, and restrict who can see their app and game activity. The mobile controls, which are being rolled out over the next few weeks, will allow users to quickly respond to privacy concerns while away from their computers. Mobile privacy controls have been a focus of updates to many of Facebook’s mobile sites and apps over the past six months. Access to controls over content sharing, communication, and basic directory information were added to m.facebook.com in August. iPhone users gained the ability to restrict status updates to certain people on a post by post basis, and in November received quick links to Account and Privacy settings on the full site.
