			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Facebook is one of the many social networking sites existing in the web. Millions of users access the site each day and many still signing-up. Users voice out problems and suggestions that can and will improve the site to benefit all. Facebook is developing tools and features that will find solutions to problems being faced by its users.?</p>
<p><strong>Friend Suggestor?</strong></p>
<p>A social networking site is called as such because it revolves around friends. Like Facebook, it centers on meeting new and old friends, sending messages, sharing photos, and showcasing profiles ? without friends, this could be very boring. So this is why they have come up with an idea to help just signed-up Facebook members what to do next. This is the ?Friend Suggestor.??</p>
<p>The Friend Suggestor is a way to help people find other people that they didn?t know were on Facebook. This is a good way to meet up common friends. This is a very handy feature especially to friends who are still new to Facebook. ?</p>
<p><strong>Inbox Search?</strong></p>
<p>It can be a pain sometimes to search for a message among hundreds of messages on your inbox. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Facebook has come up with a tool to help you find your message the easier way ? the Inbox search. You can either search for messages by looking for the name of the person who sent it, or by a specific keyword (probably if you forgot the name or title). Now, you don?t need to dive into the haystack to find the needle. ?</p>
<p>A lot of users have been requesting for a tool that can help them easily find and retrieve messages. Thus, they developed Inbox search to help Facebook users find messages easier. They took the user?s suggestions and find ways to create the right solution to support everyone using the site. They built an in-house system to handle indexing of all information for Inbox search with the fact that there are millions of messages being sent everyday on Facebook. The Inbox search is being tested to make sure it is stable and ready to be used by millions of users. ?</p>
<p>The upgrades being done by Facebook will not just help invite more users but makes it a sure social networking site that will last a long time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Facebook goes Spanish just five months ago. After that launching, the internationalization team and its community translators are working out to translate the site into sixteen more languages. Facebook is now on French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and Italian. The language can be easily changed using the language selector found in the footer of the page.</p>
<p>Facebook caters to all users around the world and some of the users have difficulties understanding English. With the language selector, users who have difficulties understanding in English are helped. Thousands of people offered their hands to help translate Facebook into more than the sixteen released languages and the other eight in the process.</p>
<p>55 new languages are in line for translation by the community. Facebook opens new translations on languages such as additional Asian languages, African dialects, regional varieties like the British English and Canadian French, and even infrequently spoken languages like Latin and Esperanto.</p>
<p>As Facebook goes multilingual, it is opening a bigger door to more users especially to those with difficulties in English. It gives users a better access to the site knowing that they are familiar with the language being used. Though, problems will really occur when they are taking this big leap. One of this will be the inaccurate translation. Some languages do not have the exact words that can equal the meaning of the word. This can lead to confusion in the users’ side.</p>
<p>Friendster goes multilingual also. As the number of people joining social networking sites is increasing, it is best that it caters almost every user’s needs. As a social networking site, you don’t just cater to a specific race but to all. Later on, we will not just see these sites with limited language translations but with all the language translations and maybe hoping for local dialects as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been a year already since Facebook  launched its website for iPhone. Over 1.5 million people are now using  it regularly. Due to the overwhelming amount of users visiting the website  through their iPhones, Facebook is taking a new iPhone experience. Apple  is now featuring the Facebook for iPhone, a new application for iPhone  to access Facebook.</p>
<p><a href="http://socialupdates.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/a20531316728_1115371_6166.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-70" src="http://socialupdates.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/a20531316728_1115371_6166.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="258" /></a></p>
<p>So what’s the difference between the  iPhone website and the application? The iPhone application offers access  to more technology than the website. One of its features is that you  can instantly upload pictures taken from your iPhone cameras directly  on Facebook. Application runs much faster than the website giving you  faster access to inboxes, photos, and friends. It takes a lot of time  waiting for the website’s contents and images to load up, while with  the application, it’s all there.</p>
<p>One important feature showcased by Facebook  for iPhone is the iPhone – Facebook Chat. Whether you’re using the  application or the website and wherever you maybe, you’ll be able  chat with your Facebook friends for free.</p>
<p>This is just the first version of Facebook  for iPhone. Expect exciting features to be added in the near future.  Facebook is coming up with ways to synchronize features with the iPhone.  They are trying to look for ways on how to come up with a feature for  iPhone’s Global Positioning System. Imagine yourself sharing locations  with your Facebook friends and find out who’s on your location. Exciting  new features are currently being developed and will be released in a  few months. So expect better versions and features in the coming months.</p>
<p>It a great experience in taking social  networking out of the World Wide Web walls. With cellular phones being  man’s high-tech best friend due to its size and mobility, Facebook  made a good choice of creating a portal to access the website through  these tiny gadgets.</p>
<p>Facebook for iPhone is compatible with  iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPod Touch. The application is available for  free from Apple’s App Store at <a href="http://www.itunes.com/appstore/" target="_blank">www.itunes.com/appstore/</a>.</p>

<p>Video streaming has been a common activity nowadays. Through the internet, you can watch your favorite shows, clips or movies on your computer whenever you want. Many video streaming websites have sprouted providing a large number of video files, and one of them is VeohTV, a beta application from Veoh.Com that showcases TV experience using the internet.</p>
<p>VeohTV supports open internet standards, giving access to all video files on the internet. Veoh.com users where asked what they wanted, thus, building the concept of VeohTV. It revolutionizes the online video streaming.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-55" src="http://socialupdates.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/veoh-channels.jpg" alt="" width="339" height="263" /></p>
<p>Another great thing about VeohTV is that it offers a single interface to search, browse, and view all available video files online, from major television networks like CBS and Fox, to video contents from YouTube, Google Video, and Veoh.com. We can search videos by keywords or browse through channels, then watch the videos on full screen to give a TV-like experience. The interface presents channels to browse for contents by channels, search bar to search videos online, and recommended videos based on user preferences.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-56" src="http://socialupdates.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/veohtv.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="123" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.veoh.com/veohTV/getStarted.html">Download VeohTV for free here.</a></p>
<p>So after downloading and installing the VeohTV on our PC, it will launch a channel guide like that of cable systems. Videos can be directly streamed by hosting sites or can be downloaded (permitted videos) and watch them offline. We can also connect their television sets to the computer and utilize it to watch VeohTV using the television.</p>
<p>VeohTV is designed as a marketing and distribution channel for content owners to feature their shows to viewers. Viewers using the VeohTV access videos directly from the original video owners’ link, giving advantages to content owners and licensors through traffic and advertising.</p>
<p>More and more are going for online video streaming because they can choose their own video contents to watch without those recurring advertisements and replay scenes. So have you missed a TV show? Watch it online. The VeohTV is your one-stop video shop. Different video contents are available online, and with help of VeohTV’s search tool, you can watch your desired video.</p>
