Facebook Asks You To Please Select Your Emotion | TechCrunch

Facebook Asks You To Please Select Your Emotion | TechCrunch | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

It could make us more willing to express how we feel. Or you could say it over-simplies our complex moods and lives. But today the Facebook status update box began offering the option to “share how you’re feeling or what you’re doing” through a drop-down menu of emoticons and media. We’re entering a more structured era of communication, where both friends and big data know exactly how we tick.

 

Facebook began testing the new sharing options in January, but only released screenshots. Now it appears the feature has been given to a much wider audience. It’s likely the beginning of a global or at least US or English language rollout. I’ve contacted Facebook for details. Most mentions I’ve seen of the feature have been from the US, and many note the similarity to an old Myspace mood sharing option.

Just one of the many ways to share over social media; Facebook allows members to share how they are feeling, what they are listening to or watching to their Facebook friends or if the profile is public than anyone has access to see what you as a member are wanting to share with the internet world.

What Happens Every 60 Seconds In Social Media? [INFOGRAPHIC]

What Happens Every 60 Seconds In Social Media? [INFOGRAPHIC] | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest – What Happens Every 60 Seconds In Social Media?

 

Some very interesting information:

 

**Did you know that every 60 seconds Twitter sees (on average) 175,000 new tweets?

 

**Over that same time period, Pinterest receives 1,090 visitors

 

**LinkedIn absorbs 7,610 searches

 

**Flickr users upload 3,125 photos?

 

 **If you think those numbers are impressive, how about this: each and every minute of the day, 700,000 messages are sent on Facebook

 

** two million videos are watched on YouTube.

 

What caught my attention - sometimes the comments are just as interesting if not more than the actual content itself:

Misleading and inaccurate.

 

You cite an article on Foursquare from AUGUST, then round DOWN. They get over five million check ins per day: http://mashable.com/2012/02/28/foursquare-hq-tour/ — so double what you’ve presented here.

 

Jumpstart was very apologetic and said they're trying to be as accurate as possible. Point being, these infographics are great to look at and give us an approximation of what's actually happening, trying to keep the facts straight, not an easy task for sure:-)

 

This data is courtesy of a new infographic from marketing consultancy firm Social Jumpstart, which takes a closer look and tries to be as accurate as possible at what happens in social media every 60 seconds.

Facebook message claiming users have 'copyright' to photos, timeline posts is a hoax

Facebook message claiming users have 'copyright' to photos, timeline posts is a hoax | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

If you do not want to fall into the trap, read this article. For once I do not control the information, I published this information on my facebook wall...! [note Martin Gysler]

 

A new Facebook hoax has some users thinking they own the copyrights to material posted to their pages.

 

A news message claiming that Facebook users have copyrights to their photos, videos and messages is a load of baloney, according to a report.

 

They don't.


The post, which has recently popped up in some users timelines, says:

“In response to the new Facebook guidelines I hereby declare that my copyright is attached to all of my personal details, illustrations, comics, paintings, professional photos and videos, etc. (as a result of the Berner Convention). For commercial use of the above my written consent is needed at all times!”

To protect copyrights of your facebook content you need to like this t-shirt. Also, if it reaches 10.000 likes it saves a puppy! Please think of the puppies!
