Facebook Toolbar Speaks New Languages

January 29th, 2010 Ashesh 2 comments

No matter where you are on the web, you can stay close and share with your friends through the Facebook Toolbar. Originally launched in English for the Firefox browser, we now have released an Internet Explorer version of the toolbar and made both versions available in a total of 16 languages.

You can use the toolbar to easily visit the most common sections and applications on Facebook, including your home page, profile and Inbox. You also can see how many friend requests, Inbox message and event and group invitations you have from icons near the top of your browser, and then click to view them.

When you find an interesting news story, funny video or other content you like on the web, click the “Share” button on the toolbar to share it with your friends on your Facebook. The toolbar even gives you a quick way to upload photos to your profile.

The languages now supported are Arabic, Chinese (simple and traditional), Danish, Dutch, German, Spanish (Spain and international), French, Hebrew, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazilian), Swedish and Turkish. You can download the latest Facebook Toolbar for Firefox or Internet Explorer here.

Facebook Backtracks

August 1st, 2008 Ashesh 2 comments

FACEBOOK HAS Finally agreed to let users who wish to delete their accounts remove every bit of personal information from the site. A New York Times article brought the data policy into the public eye. Facebook used to keep all user information-photographs, contact information, and other details- in its database, even after user had deleted their profiles. Facebook has now promised to make it easy to leave without leaving anything behind. The method is still sell-hidden though, and you need to dig around to find a particular form. The previous policy raised the hackles of privacy advocates,and Facebook was starting to face an investigation. This move may seem designed to take some of the heat off, but at least it’s positive step forward.
