Now, access Facebook without internet

Singapore-based software applications developer U2opia Mobile has developed a new application for mobile phones that will allow them to access Facebook on all kind of handsets without paying for a data connection.
"We are using USSD technology, which will enable users to access Facebook without having a GPRS connection on their phones," said Sumesh Menon, the co-founder and CEO of U2Opia Mobile.
Unstructured Supplementary Data (USSD) is the technology used by telecom players to send alerts to their users that inform them about their balance at the end of call or for sending miss call alerts.
Menon mentioned that though the technology will not provide access to graphics, it will help users send and view updates on their friends' Facebook walls.
"It is like SMS and hence, the load on the network is negligible. We have built some commands through which a user can receive alerts on activity happening on his wall as well post an update," said Menon.
U2opia launched this application with Indian telecom major Bharti Airtel. While Airtel customers can update their Facebook status through this USSD service free of cost, Rs 1 per day will be applicable for accessing the full-feature application, which enables viewing news feeds, commenting on or liking news feed stories, posting on friends' walls, confirming friend requests, viewing notifications and finding as well as adding friends.
"In the Indian market scenario, where the penetration of smartphones is relatively low and the use of internet on mobiles is primarily limited to key cities, many users are excluded from accessing their Facebook accounts via mobile phones," said Shireesh Joshi, Bharti Airtel Director -- Marketing, Mobile Services, in a statement.
Airtel users can dial *325# and *fbk# for non-Qwerty mobile handsets to access Facebook without subscribing to data plans, the statement said.
"We look forward to bringing millions of Facebook users in India closer to their love for social networking by allowing them to access it anytime, anywhere on their Airtel-powered mobile phones," Joshi added.

Facebook Announces Much Needed Security Revisions

Facebook and user privacy have become separate ideas in the last few years as Facebook grows ever larger and security grows ever less useful. Fortunately today millions of Facebook users got the good news that some new security and privacy controls are finally being given to Facebook users. Thousands of Facebook users rejoiced publicly on Facebook today after the good news broke.
The Facebook security features announced today are not as restrictive as some people would have hoped but nearly everyone is happy to have gained at least a little control. The controls will finally give users control over who sees what which should help make it significantly easier for users to cut down on privacy loss. Analysts around the world agree that it was about time for Facebook to roll out some new privacy features and that is exactly what they are finally beginning to do.
The great news about a new security feature broke, as expected, on Facebook’s official blog. This announcement is welcome news for all Facebook users and not only are Facebook users getting more control over what is distributed; they are also getting easier control. The announced security controls are expected to be significantly easier to use than the current system which means users will in fact be able to actually control what they want to be available. At this time Facebook is rolling out the security features but not everyone will have access to them quite yet so be patient.


Tech Genius Working to Bring Internet to the Poor

Umar Saif received a very coveted award this week from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for his groundbreaking project to bring internet access to those who cannot otherwise afford it. Saif’s project is centered primarily around poor families in his home country of Pakistan where many people are struggling to afford food; let alone a computer and internet access. Saif says that he hopes his revolutionary project will unite the people with the one technology they all have; cell phones.
ike so many revolutionary projects Saif says he got the idea following the earthquake disaster in Pakistan in 2005; ever since then he has been working on this internet style communication system for cell phones all around the world. The idea may not have brought full internet to the people of the region but he says it will likely be able to save thousands of lives by connecting everyone to a unified source of information.
The project is remarkably simple as well; which is part of why he received the away from MIT. Saif’s project is simply a computerized system that allows users to join the network using a cell phone number; should an emergency or other major issue break the computer will be able to easily and quickly communicate important information to anyone who has joined the cell phone social network. The best part is that the entire system works with even the oldest and most out of date phones so Saif hopes that everyone will eventually be able to benefit from this potentially life saving device.
