Facebook Confirms Removal of Suggest to Friends Feature from Pages

Facebook removed the Suggest to Friends link from Pages last week when a bug caused the feature to load incorrectly. However, an article in the Help Center confirms that the option will not be returned to users, and that they should now use the Share button to ask Friends to Like a Page. The closing of this viral channel should reduce Page suggestion spam, but may also stunt the growth of Pages unless they pay for more ads.Admins will still be able access the Suggest to Friends feature on their own Pages,  Users can’t access the feature, but can instead use the Share button, located at the very bottom left Pages. The Share button allows users to make a post of the Page to their profile, “which may appear in their friends’ News Feeds”. Users can also opt to Share directly to specific friends via Message, and can send up to 20 of these at a time. The most likely reason for this change was that page administrators were typically the only people likely to use the tool. This also pre...

FreeOCR – Extract Text From Scanned Images

You might have encountered a situation where you need to “digitize” stacks of text documents such as contract agreements and written notes. Although it is fairly easy to use a desktop scanner to convert the documents into the digital format but have you wonder if the output from the scanner is processing ready? The free Windows-based Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application – FreeOCR is the helpful tool which allow you to convert a scanned document into electronic files containing readable text. In contrast to the scanned image, the files generated by FreeOCR are processable by word processors to support functions such as text search and editing.

Beware! Facebook Apps can now Access Your Phone and Address Details

 Facebook has the knack to piss off users, specially those privacy freaks. We have previously warned you about keeping an eye on what permissions you are giving to the Facebook apps you are installing. Now, you have even more reasons to get paranoid, as Facebook has announced that it now lets developers access your phone number and home address, if they choose, when you use their apps. To be fair on Facebook, it is only making this data available to the apps if you, the user, specifically approve it. Moreover all those apps you have already installed won’t have automatic access to these information. So, next time you install a Facebook app, look out for the “Access my contact information: Current Address and Mobile Phone Number” permission request Facebook’s obnoxiously huge valuation is because of the data – the personal data of millions of users, all fed manually by the users themselves. And there is a huge demand for this data out in the market. If some app developer is greedy ...
