Back in the days of ordinary cell phones (you know the phones with black-and-white screens and keypad with big buttons), contacts were just meant to store phone numbers and that too in a very limited amount. In today’s Android smartphones, forget about the limitation, for each contact you can store details like email, address, birthday, [...]
When it comes to online sharing of photos, most of the user activity is centered around Facebook, and photo sharing sites like Flickr, along with Google+ (Picasa) being the latest platform for it.

Facebook’s web chat has always had issues and thus a lot of us usually look for desktop chat clients to catch up with their Facebook friends. Facebook hasn’t been sitting idle though. In order to counter this, it launched its official desktop messenger few months ago to make the chatting experience better. People seemed to [...]
Facebook did a complete makeover with the introduction of the Facebook Timeline. Our Facebook pages haven’t been the same since. The large banner like image dominates, and then your “life story” follows. The timeline is resting place for all your memorable posts, photos, events…all arranged in a reverse chronological order. Admittedly, you have to scroll [...]
Birthdays come and birthdays go. And more often than not we miss wishing our friends, all thanks to the hurly-burly of our lives. This is especially true of our online network of friends too. Even with Facebook birthday reminders we forget to wish them on time. We may not be logging in every day, or [...]
Staying up to date with the latest happenings in today’s age is both difficult and easy. Difficult because we are busy and there’s so much of information around that filtering it becomes painful.

It’s your friend’s birthday today. What do you think he would love the most from you? Well, if you ask me, I do not have a craving for gifts. For me, just a warm “happy birthday” from my friend makes my day. With the advent of Facebook, it has become very easy to monitor a [...]
Social networking has come to mean sharing interesting events around your life. Facebook has come to epitomize that like nothing else; and to be frank, ‘interesting’ has taken a backseat as we share the humdrum along with the eventful. Facebook is building interactions, and to add more bricks to that they recently announced a slew [...]
I am a Dropbox fan. It’s like an extension of my hard disk on the clouds. One of the most important uses I put my Dropbox account to is, of course, the backup, and my top priority is all my precious photos. As soon as I transfer images from my digital camera to my computer, [...]
Way back, when I was new on Facebook, I tried a hell lot of apps and games everyday. Though each of them comes with a necessary set of permissions telling us how the application will integrate with your profile, I never paid attention to them. Soon when I started getting spams of horoscopes, daily fortune [...]
Has Facebook made us more social or has it induced a social laziness in all of us where we think that a simple status update suffices? Well, that debate will rage on, but what’s more definite is that Facebook has given us some easy social and participatory tools to better engage our friends. Facebook Events [...]
Facebook and social networking of its kind has seeped so much into our lives that we can’t be without knowing what the world is doing around us.

The world’s largest social networking site has become a habit. From sharing links to photo albums, Facebook is a virtual timeline of our lives. Thus, it is the next best thing to a digital diary.

It won’t be an exaggeration to say that Facebook has become an integral part of most of our lives and our day might feel incomplete without a dose of Facebook session. If you think the same and want to make your Facebook experience a bit easier you can try the FB Explorer, a Facebook gadget [...]
Facebook needs no introduction and I think, I need not tell you anything about Facebook Photos either. Photographs are one of the best ways to share your perfect holidays, convocation party or your kid’s first birthday with your family and friends on Facebook.
