La musique est certainement un des meilleurs moyens de passer un bon moment avec des amis. Qu’il s’agisse d’un concert avec tout un groupe ou d’une virée en voiture avec votre meilleur ami, pouvoir écouter de la musique ensemble est toujours agréable. Et si vous pouviez écouter de la musique avec vos amis, sans pour autant vous trouver au même endroit ?

Jam of Samof76 - Can a Stratup do what #Facebook is doing?

http://samof76.livejournal.com/2309.html Well, yesterday I came across this blog . I am sure many of you following Facebook on its engineering front would have gone through this. What facebook is doing now on the social from is synonymous with what Microsoft did on the desktop front, just monopolize Social Media. But the difference being, facebook is more open about the underlying technology that powers them and duely gives credit to all the Open Source that enables them. Facebook I love you for that! But thats not what I am going dwell upon in this blog.
Today we're launching an updated Facebook app for Android. It's now quicker and easier to view photos, get messages and navigate around the app. Photos get better Photos and albums are up to two times faster than the previous Android app. It's also easier to share photos, view comments and edit captions on the go.

I founded Facebook on the idea that people want to share and connect with people in their lives, but to do this everyone needs complete control over who they share with at all times. This idea has been the core of Facebook since day one. When I built the first version of Facebook, almost nobody I knew wanted a public page on the internet. That seemed scary. But as long as they could make their page private, they felt safe sharing with their friends online.

Facebook’s New Year’s resolution: Go public

With 2011 winding to a close, talk of Facebook’s long-rumored 2012 initial public offering is crescendoing to cacophonous levels. A new report purporting that Facebook is targeting an IPO date between April and June of the upcoming year is adding to the orchestra. Facebook is looking to raise $10 billion at a $100 billion valuation through the offering, has its paperwork ready to go, and is already in talks with the Securities and Exchange Commission about timing, according to a new Wall Street Journal report . The world’s largest social network may even file its papers to go public before the end of the year. We’ve heard most of this before. http://venturebeat.com/2011/11/28/facebool-ipo/

Improved Friend Lists

This week, it will be easier than ever to see more from the people you care about and simpler to share with exactly the right people using Friend Lists. Want to see posts from your closest friends? Or perhaps you'd like to share a personal story with your family—without also telling all your co-workers. With improved Friend Lists, you can easily see updates from and share with different lists of friends. Lists have existed for several years, but you've told us how time-consuming it is to organize lists for different parts of your life and keep them up to date. To make lists incredibly easy and even more useful, we're announcing three improvements:

In this version, we've included a bunch of new features and performance improvements designed to make your messaging experience even better.

With this update, the app is now available for BlackBerry in addition to iPhone (including iOS 5) and Android.

Some Social Media is Toxic to Productivity: Google+, Twitter, and Facebook

This post is on behalf of the Enterprise CIO Forum and HP. Do you struggle with productivity some days? Have you discovered that one of the secrets is to eliminate distractions? If your answer is yes to both, then you’ll understand where I’m coming from with this post.
Ingenuity is surely something to be admired. Commercial ingenuity is something to be revered. Sometimes, though, it seems that certain tech companies only revere their own ingenuity. That seems to be the case with Facebook, which, as reported by TechCrunch's Erick Schonfeld, has removed a piece of fine commercial ingenuity from its site. App developer Michael Lee Johnson, conscious of the need to be big on Google+ or be nobody, wondered what the best way to levitate his Google+ circles might be. He hit upon a fine idea: he placed an ad on Facebook. http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-20080054-71/facebook-bans-google-ad/

Facebook bans Google+ ad | Technically Incorrect

Over the last year, the messages team has been working to make it easier to have one on one conversations with your friends. In November, we launched the new messages , which brings together your chats, texts, emails and messages all in one place. Today I'm excited to introduce video calling and other improvements to chat. See The Friends You Message Most The new chat design includes a sidebar that lists the people you message most. Now it's easier to find your friends and start a conversation.

Facebook OAuth Example — Facebook Python Library

In this example, we will build a barebones AppEngine application that uses Facebook for login. The complete source code for this example can be found in examples/oauth directory located at facebook python library code . You can see the example in action at Facebook OAuth Demo .

An example on how to use Oauth and Python to connect to twitter « Popdevelop – A developer team from Malmö, Sweden

If you are building a twitter client of any sorts you should know that basic authentication (user ID and password) will be removed from the twitter API August 16, 2010 (it says so on the twitter API wiki ). Instead, Oauth should be used to login. One problem with allowing users to build applications towards your service using regular authentication is that these need to use regular login credentials to access data. These third party applications have access to user ID and password and will often store these locally in one way or the other. This is a huge problem for security since you have no control over users credentials.
