The "Fan Pages" that are created in Facebook were showed how many "Likes" or "Fans" below the page details. 


Now if any fan page is so popular that it has many more likes or fans then it can be rated with the new "Star Rating" system introduced by Facebook recently for mobile users. Now this system is expanding from mobile apps to desktop users. 
 
 
First seen by Techcrunch, the fan pages get the ratings below the name. Thus showing the new visitors how popular it is and how much it is liked by others.This will make it more popular and more likeable. In a way it is good for businessmen who have business fan pages and also for customers or consumers who visit their pages. 

The rating system is in the test mode and will be soon implemented for all users. The system uses rating out of total five stars how many to be given to a particular page. 

The screenshot of the image of a fan page with "Ratings" is displayed below. 



The rate in the above fan page is 2.5 stars. Good to decide the popularity, liking, fans, etc of a fan page. 

According to Facebook spokesperson: "We�re extending star ratings on Facebook from mobile to desktop � to make it easier for people to discover great businesses around them. This is beneficial for both businesses and consumers. Star ratings encourage more people to rate a business, making it eligible to appear in News Feed and help others discover a business they didn�t know about previously. For businesses themselves, this also leads to greater brand awareness. 
 
As you may recall, star ratings launched in early 2012 with the introduction of Nearby on mobile. Now we�re bringing the visibility of star ratings to a more prominent spot at the top of Pages� timeline on desktop and to the preview in News Feed."

As Adobe's database was hacked and information was leaked on 3rd October, people who used same log in details in Adobe and other social media sites like Facebook, will have to reset their passwords to protect their personal information getting leaked.

In Facebook too, you will have to reset your password when it asks for. As a matter of fact, the social media giant is taking active steps for protecting its users and helping them to be more careful. 

If Facebook asks for you to reset your login details then don't think that it is spam or anything very unwanted, but it is warning you to be careful. Look at the image below: 


There are programmers who have searching how to make users find out about their account hack due to Adobe database hack. 

Recently, a programmer named Lucb1e, a Dutch student, has come up with a trick or you may call it as a tool, to check whether your account details were stolen at the time of Adobe hack. 

In his blog post, "Are you affected by Adobe's hack?", he gives you a tool that checks whether your email id and password were among the ones in Adobe's hack. 

The tool link is here: 




So find out using this tool to avoid your account being hacked or stolen if you were using the same password for Adobe and Facebook too. 



Did you reset your password in Facebook after "Adobe" hack ?

News last month stated that Adobe was hacked on 3rd October, which held 150 million users account's and other personal information like name, profile picture, Geo location, credit card number, etc. 
 


Users normally use the same passwords for logging in different sites. If you have your account with Adobe and also with Facebook and the same password you are using for signing into both, then due to the Adobe security hack, your password with other details may get stolen in the issue. 


To protect its users, Facebook is taking some important steps by asking anyone that used identical login credentials to change their Facebook password immediately. 

Facebook engineers are searching through the publicly posted database that has details on Adobe accounts. If match is discovered, then Facebook displays an alert message of a "security incident on another website not related to Facebook". 

The time has come for you to reset the passwords in Facebook to avoid your personal credentials being stolen. 
 
 


How to maintain privacy while using "Tinder app" in Facebook

As discussed in the earlier post, Tinder app is becoming more and more liked by people who are interested in connecting with other people.

In Facebook, privacy it the main thing that every user has to keep in mind before posting. Recently, Facebook has introduced a new tool called as "Anti Bullying tool" to avoid teens getting affected by "Cyber Bullying". Teens had been gifted the sharing of posts in Facebook publicly by Facebook which may create problems for them later. To protect teens, the social media introduced anti bullying tool. 

Now that the "Tinder" app is basically released for connecting even the anonymous people on Facebook, setting some privacy limitations becomes mandatory. 




Why privacy should be maintained while using "Tinder" app:

People who get connected with unknown persons in Tinder, almost think that the other person is trustworthy and reliable. Some people may be here just for fun and entertainment purpose. No one should get targeted for bad intentions of others'. Some may be using fake profile ids etc. The app allows you to swipe through the profiles of matches within your area. If you like them, you press "heart" icon and if they are not interested then they just press "X" icon on the app. Else otherwise. 


This is widely spread and famous in the college goers.

People using this app should follow some privacy steps. The main points that you should consider are : 

  • Before using this app and granting permission while logging in via Facebook, make sure whether you are comfortable with it. 
  • Location will be used by this app. So before using this app think twice or thrice to permit it to access your geographical location.
  • Your basic information like name, profile picture, age will be accessed and shared in the app. So again a thoughtful decision matters. 
  • You may receive a hell lot of interested profile requests. Hence to set a privacy wall is important here too. 
Using of any app like "Tinder" is risky as it is something related to connecting ones who are unknown to you in your geographical location.

Hence, before using this app, think wisely and enter into it.



 







Why "Tinder App" in Facebook is so famous now a days?

There is a buzz going around about "Tinder" app. Recently introduced in Facebook, this is an app that finds out who lies you nearby and starts connecting with them but only when you are also interested in that person. 

Purely an app that lets you connect with others nearby your location. 



It is an app for iOS users which is readily available in iTunes Store. You can download right here: 


Anonymous persons get connected with each other if they are liked by each other in Tinder.

Features : 

  1. Shows you the persons who are interested in you 
  2. If you like the same person then this app makes an introduction and lets you chat within the app
 
But privacy here is the most important point.

For using this app, you need to log in using your Facebook account.

As this app will find out the friends or other anonymous person nearby you, it goes without saying that it will use your location details. To use or not to use while granting permission to this app is to be taken into consideration.


Will you share your location details to any other person who is unknown to you and still liking you? Keep steps very carefully before using this app.

In the next post I will discuss some important tips to maintain privacy before using Tinder app .
