Facebook’s Upcoming Privacy Features


Facebook has publicized on its blog that they will be rolling out some new security and privacy control features in the upcoming days which would solve the privacy problems being faced by Facebook users. According to the security experts Facebook's upcoming privacy features are a positive step from the social networking giant and will defiantly make the completion between it and Google plus more tight.

Facebook’s Upcoming Privacy Features
Facebook Security

According to Marian Merritt, Internet safety advocate with Symantec’s Norton “It seems to reflect some of what people have been asking for. The issues of privacy and of control over your data are a growing concern and consumers are paying more attention to them. However, the changes haven’t been rolled out yet, so I don’t know how hard they will be to configure. I’m pleased, but until I can start using them it’s all conjecture,”

Some of the new features which facebook has added seems to have been be borrowed form Google plus. For instance, the choice of sharing posts with ‘Public’ or ’Friends’ and the convenience of deeper privacy controls on profile information is much like what Google+ has come up with.

As these privacy controls are not out yet so it’s quiet impossible to predict what impact it will have on the facebook and more importantly on Google plus

Get Facebook Email Addresses


In the ongoing battle between Facebook and Google Plus , the people at facebook are trying to include new features in facebook so that the users won’t switch to google plus. Recently facebook has launced a new service called “facebook messaging service”. 
Get Facebook Email Addresses
Facebook's Email Service
In my opinion this service would make facebook more or less complete kind of a network, where apart from social networking people can chat and email and thus get connected in a better way. So, to get your facebook email addresses follow these simple steps:

  • Login with your credentials to facebook.
  • Now enter this URL: http://www.facebook.com/about/messages/ in your browser window.
  • You can see a button “Request an Invitation: or if you have already a username then you can see a button “Go to Messages”
  • Now select your username and you are done.
By this method you can get facebook Email addresses for free.

Google Plus vs Facebook


Few months back Facebook was the market leader in the social networking arena but now after the introduction of Google Plus things have changed. No doubt that if you go with numbers Facebook still rules the market with 750 million active users but if we have a look on the rate of growth then there is no comparison to the success of Google Plus. In mere 3 weeks it has got more than 20 million active users. And that’s a big number.

The War Between The Social Networking Giants

I believe people at Facebook won’t be sitting ideal and they won’t let Google plus steal the show so easily. So, get ready to see a war between these social networking giants. 

Below I have presented an infographic that depicts this clash of titans.
