Surprising Facebook Facts That You Didn’t Know

By
facebook-facts Facebook with its multi-billion user base, is the biggest social media giant today. But there are some things you might not know about Facebook. Check out our list of Facebook fun facts and know more about the company.
Facebook recently hit the benchmark of 1 billion active users on a single day. The latest analysis by App Annie, the app store analytics firm revealed that Facebook has become the most popular and the most downloaded app of all times. As happy as everyone in the Facebook community (users and employees alike), we decided to get you some fun facts about your beloved social media, which by the way, is almost as severely criticized by some tech and media business houses.
Let’s see some of the Facebook facts, although you might know a few of them:

1. FaceBlue Is It?

Wonder why Facebook is all blue? Facebook issues subtle changes in its interface regularly but never changed from its trademark blue color. It is not because Zuckerberg likes blue, but actually he can’t see other colors that well. He has got a red-green color blindness.

2. Height of Confidence

microsoft-facebook-offer
You would be amazed to see the multi-billion dollar offers that Zuckerberg turned down for his Facebook. Rejecting a $15 billion deal from Microsoft would have required some serious guts. Now, that is called confidence. Read more

3. You Think You Are Safe?

More than 600,000 hacking attempts are made to Facebook accounts every day. Thanks to the Facebook scams, more and more people are now prone to account hacking. Read more

4. Who Was That Guy?al-pacino-facebook

If you happen to be a long term Facebook user (before 2007), then you would remember that sad blue guy on the Facebook’s homepage. It was none other than the legendary Al Pacino in his youth.

5. Talking Dead

Facebook has over 30 million IDs whose owners are supposedly dead, and over 8% over Facebook users are fake. So stop bragging about your friend list now. 😛

6. Oh God!! Even Facebook Tracks Me….

facebook-tracks-you
Move over NSA’s spying habits people, even Facebook tracks your web crawling habits. It doesn’t matter if you are logged out. Remember, the allegations on Facebook about tracking your profile through the Rainbow Profile Pictures. Also, all the text you write in the status update box is received at the Facebook servers, even if you do not post it. 

7. Wonder Why Zuckerberg Is So Rich?

Facebook’s estimated earnings from every U.S. user are an average of about USD $6. No wonder Zuckerberg is the richest man under 35. 

8. Shortcut To ZuckerbergFacebook-ceo-page

Just add/4 in the end of the Facebook URL and you will be directed to Mark Zuckerberg’s wall. If you add 5 or 6, you will be directed to other co-founders of Facebook. Wonder why the CEO chose 4 rather than 1 !!

9. How Fast Is Your Like Meter?

Every minute, over 4 million likes are made on Facebook. How fast does your like meter ticks? 

10. Whoa.. Watch Your Language Bro!!

zuckerberg-dumb-fucks
Zuckerberg might be a philanthropist now, but he was just a brash guy back in 2004. He bragged about people trusting his website with their personal information while calling us “Dumb F**ks”.

How Education Will Be Smarter, Less Intrusive, And Able To Respond To How You Feel

By
Impatience characterizes the technology sector’s approach to education. Disruption is taking place in all other sectors of society — so, why not education? I know too well, whether at Pearson or in the classroom, the challenges and frustration of developing and using digital tools that improve outcomes for students. But I’m optimistic. We are on the verge of a tide of smarter innovation that, if allowed to spread, will turbocharge the learning experience for students. Here are four areas worth watching: 1. Using technology to learn from learners Every great digital product constantly evolves by learning from its users, adding capabilities, and improving its performance. If it’s true for your Facebook feed, then why not education? The potential is there, as the OECD’s recent report on  Students, Computers and Learning  (OECD) incidentally showed how clickstream and tracking navigation in digital readers can be used to see how students process online text and...

Phoenix OS is (another) Android-as-a-desktop

By
Google Android may have been developed as a smartphone operating system (and later ported to tablets, TVs, watches, and other platforms), but over the past few years we’ve seen a number of attempts to turn it into a desktop operating system. One of the most successful has been  Remix OS , which gives Android a taskbar, start menu, and an excellent window management system. The Remix OS team has also generated a lot of buzz over the past year, and this week the operating system gained a lot of new alpha testers thanks to a  downloadable version of Remix OS  that you can run on many recent desktop or notebook computers. But Remix OS isn’t the only game in town.  Phoenix OS  is another Android-as-desktop operating system, and while it’s still pretty rough around the edges, there are a few features that could make it a better option for some testers. Some background I first discovered Phoenix OS from  a post in the Remix OS Google Group , altho...

Google Announces Android Wear Update With WiFi Support, Always-On Apps, And More

By
It has been a while since Android Wear got any substantial updates, but today Google is announcing a big one. A new version of Wear will be rolling out over the coming weeks that includes a number of previously rumored features (like WiFi support) and some all new stuff (like always-on apps). Most Wear devices use the always-on ambient mode for the watch face by default, the Moto 360 being a notable exception. The new Android Wear version allows apps to operate in ambient mode too, so they remain active when the watch goes to sleep. That makes it easier to take a quick glance at the app instead of waking the device up and opening the app all over again. The watch will still only go into full-color mode when necessary. WiFi support is also coming in the update, which means your watch can be useful even if your phone isn't connected. Watches with WiFi support will be able to connect to WiFi and still get messages and notifications from your phone, provided it has an interne...
