The recently launched video status service 12seconds hasn’t been around for more than a few weeks, but already it’s hoping to become a standard in the crowding playing field of video-integrated commentary services. To do so, 12seconds is seeking a seamless integration offering with its own product, in hopes that other third party services will find this useful. The result is the alpha release of the 12seconds API, which lets you use the 12seconds service ...

For past few days we have been getting pinged by the press folks from Dell who want to attend a joint event next week with Facebook, to announce a new cloud-computing project. That Round Rock, Texas-based Dell and Facebook of Palo Alto, Calif. are getting cozier shouldn’t come as a surprise. Facebook is seriously “server hungry” and has been on a spending spree to beef up its infrastructure. Dell, on the otherhand, has been increasingly ...

Facebook today released a preview of version 2.0 of Facebook iPhone application. The upshot? Both the home page and profile page in Facebook for iPhone will look and feel a lot more similar to the redesigned Facebook home page and profile page. Still not included in any of the Facebook for iPhone mocks are ads. With iPhone rapidly gaining share in the mobile web market, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Facebook include ads in ...

Demographic restrictions have been requested by two camps of developers: Those who have licensed content or games only in certain geographic regions - like the US and Canada but not the rest of the world. Those who want to limit ...

Yesterday I did a couple of interviews at Facebook’s headquarters that’ll be up over the next couple of weeks. But in between I stopped at Chris Putnam’s desk. I’ve known him since he was 16, living in Atlanta (he showed me a web service he built so that people on the Internet could listen to him practice his piano). Anyway, he’s the guy who built Facebook’s video system. Interesting that he has three monitors on ...

The hot, and perhaps somewhat bizarre rumor doing the rounds has the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS, or Mormons) offering to buy Facebook. As Cyndy Aleo-Carreira points out at The Industry Standard, the buy makes some sense when you consider the family networks on Facebook and the Mormons fascination with family history. World wide there’s every chance that your local “family history library” is run by Mormons, and even if you don’t agree with ...

In the absence of news, there's nothing the blogosphere loves more than an unfounded, nonsensical rumor, especially if two visible, but often misunderstood, parties are involved. I was amusingly dumbfounded this afternoon to find that today's rumor du jour settled on the idea that the LDS (or Mormon) Church had made an offer to acquire the hot social networking site, Facebook. While some, knowing only a mote of data about the church, suggested Facebook's strong ...

Facebook has posted a huge preview of the next version of its iPhone app. Due in September, Facebook for iPhone 2.0 will look and feel a lot more like the real Facebook. The News Feed will be exactly the same and profiles will use tabs and the combined Wall/Mini-Feed from the site's latest redesign. Perhaps more importantly, the functionality will be much closer. You'll be able to search for people outside of your friends, make/approve/ignore ...

Think about something you’ve purchased recently. How did you decide to buy that thing? In my buying behavior I find that I can split it up into three phases: 1. Need generation. This is what happens when someone shows you something you didn’t know you wanted, but that you immediately get interested in. It might be a TV show (how many people will visit China over the next few years because of what they are ...

Brooklynite Zack Klein claims that "an employee close to the deal" — translation: somebody was drunk — told him the church San Franciscans love to hate "made an unsolicited bid to acquire Facebook." The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was estimated in 1997 to have $25 to $30 billion in assets and a $5 billion annual revenue stream, making a Facebook buy-in a possibility. True? Maybe. Fodder for lunch discussion all over the ...

Perhaps theists believe there is a biblical answer to the fact that god decided to make something that tastes so ...

It appears that Facebook has very quietly announced when the new profile redesign will go live to all users of their site. In a developers wiki article about infinite sessions posted on August 7th, Facebook announced under the question, “I thought you were deprecating infinite sessions?”, that the new redesign will go live to all users on August 27, 2008. This move should be a welcome one for developers. One of the largest frustrations amongst ...

Good news on the Facebook front: their native application is due to get an upgrade in September. The upgrade should actually make the app reach some sort of feature parity with the web-app version of Facebook, which right now is far superior to the native app. New features include a revamped profiles view, viewing all notifications in the home tab, friend search and approval, the ability to view your full inbox, and more.

The new design is reminiscent of the Twitter home page: Previously, links to your own profile page with the Publisher selected for posting photos, videos, notes, and links were located here. 2) Status updates have been removed from the right ...
