WhatsApp plans free calling in India

by Ziuby



WhatsApp Already enjoys a big customer base and wide variety of users.  It is pretty evident that the popularity and market penetration of this social media app is astounding considering the its short life cycle.

The team at WhatsApp have been busy with constant upadates every month or so to keep the users hooked in. Now they are targeting a new market with a very enticing new feature "Free Calling". WhatsApp are targeting India specifically with this cool new feature.. But the announcement seems to have been hastened due to the fact that another Indian messaging app Hike messenger had announced to make this available. Hike has already made it available to its around 35 million users in India and elsewhere and this is the reason that WhatsApp has been forced to make the announcement so hastily. So we must be thankful to Kevin Mittal for forcing the global messaging giant to act this fast.                 

 Although it seems that Hike has a pretty specific market and have been focusing only in their Local market , still they are giving a fight to the foreign companies significantly. There has been lots of things backing the WhatsApp people be it Facebook or be it the new Indian laws promoting healthy foreign investment. Amongst all this one thing is for sure the end user will surely benefit.

Why did i take the Blue Pill ? SEO Strategy do it right once !

by Ziuby

It is pretty evident that SEO is extremely important to maintain a competitive edge in the market. There are several companies in the market boasting claims that they have gotten on the first page of Google  in matter of weeks with a strategy or that they have got awesome Google rank within a few weeks. The truth of the matter is we can't really check the authenticity of their claims. They might have implemented Black Hat strategies ! We cannot be sure !

So what is the best approach for SEO ? How to begin ? And why does the blog title talk about a Blue pill ?
Well the Blue pill is a reference to the movie Matrix where the character regrets one of  his decision for going with the a particular choice. He had different options but he choose wrong. Same goes with SEO !                                  

It is extremely easy to go with the wrong decision or strategy when it comes to doing SEO. Our suggestion is simple. In conclusion the KISS principle applies perfectly to SEO activities ‘Keep It Simple Silly’. There are lot of people around making bold claims and quick solutions for SEO and frankly it doesn’t ring in any kind of confidence. A simple well thought out approach with a chalked out strategy can make a lot of difference . Th balance between efforts made for On-page and Off-page SEO will surely help out to get a good ranking.

Facebook new privacy policy.

by Ziuby

Even if you're logged out of the Facebook app, Facebook can track your every move, this is because Facebook have updated its privacy policy.This new privacy policy allows Facebook to have your data from the internet , including online searches, and information shared with online retailers .
                                             

A  spokesman from Facebook said "It takes into account pages and places visited on Facebook, alongside browsing on the internet at large." For some privacy loving Facebook user this might not be the good news, but Facebook clamming it as good thing as it help to improvise the user experience.
But as part of relief you can customize privacy setting to overcome  some part of new policy .

Facebook: Empathize or Dislike

by Ziuby

On Facebook, many people post, upload many things for various purposes. Mostly it is used for personal use like photo sharing, view sharing, occasion’s information etc. Face book can also be used business use such as advertisements.
                                     

If person genuinely like their posts and uploads, Like button is the way to express it. But if they don't rather than having dislike button, they can avoid giving any kind of response to it .because dislike button psychologically gives Negative impact on person you are giving dislike response. Another suggestion that was floating around in the digital world was ’empathize’ button. This will reduce the negative effect or vibe of the word dislike. Maybe the best idea would be all together avoiding the concept and going with the approach that doesn’t hamper or affect any community, countries or persons sentiment.

Facebook Messenger in 2015

by Ziuby

Leading and the most popular social networking site Facebook has launched a new feature for its messenger app that automatically transcribes any file sent as a voice recording and let the people send voice clips to each other. Facebook’s vice president of messaging products, David Marcus, mentioned that in 2015, the company will be bringing voice-to-text to the app.
                                                     

With this feature, Facebook will allow people to send written messages without typing.The next big change will be some form of ads or monetization. While Marcus said that these ads wouldn’t be intrusive and that Facebook would make sure to choose a method of monetization that doesn’t get in your face, I know people won’t like it.

For a frequent user of Facebook Messenger it would be something very interesting and time-saving I can say. With the Stickers functionality of Facebook Messenger, Voice-to-text will be a great add-on.

by Ziuby

Social media has given opportunities to connect with people across the globe, it has also given job opportunities, improved business Skills.

A business has an opportunity to truly become a global business. A Customer is no longer restricted to the local market and has now evolved into a global Customer in every sense. This is possible all thanks to E-commerce and technology. It seems that technology, social media platforms have surely helped to achieve a phenomenal Progress rate, but is it so?

In the light of discovery when one always thinks what can be achieved, no one thinks about Whether or not should it be done? We live in an age where the chances of finding new things, new technology uses is relatively high. But knowledge in the wrong hands can be dangerous. Sick minded people can use the same knowledge of technology to commit acts destructive in nature.                                           

 So the question then arises on what should be done? Before implementing any New concept in technology it is important to truly understand its strength, positives and Negatives. Human factor poses the maximum threat level when it comes to security breach. Hackers are intelligent people who will use information as a weapon to commit acts that are destructive in nature. In a work environment it is the duty and responsibility of every person to ensure proper security measures are followed while handling business sensitive data.No individual, business, or government is solely responsible for securing the Internet.

Yahoo follows through ..

by Ziuby

Recent increase in cyber attacks and instances for e-mail and phone data hacking have only highlighted the need of more security measures. Businesses have now moved on and accepted the digital revolution. Lot of business activities are done across different geographical locations and time-zones, such is the requirement. Internet has truly made a business a global business in every true sense. Yet there are security threats that need to  assessed and dealt with.




                                                

In such times the digital world will always look up-to the IT giants. Yahoo is one such company to step up-to the challenge. Yahoo promised last year to turn on HTTPS by default for all Yahoo! Mail exchanges.Now when you send or receive mails on Yahoo! Mail, your exchanges will automatically be encrypted by default and protected. It is mention that anytime user use Yahoo’s Mail services, whether it is on the web, mobile web, mobile apps or even via IMAP, POP or SMTP, it will remain completely encrypted. This encryption will not just remain limited to your mails but also extend itself to your attachments, contacts, calendar and the Messenger in the Mail.

This is a very good example of the leaders taking up the challenge at helping to put out an action plan with execution. Let us hope that others will follow and lend a helping hand in increasing the security over the Internet.

Safe Content for Kids on YouTube
