You should delete your Facebook. Now!

Matthew Frederick or as he is more known to the internet community as Matthias has permanently deleted his Facebook profile even though he had over 10 k followers. He also wants you to follow his example.

     Why? As he explained in the video the latest Facebook updates and changes have compromised the end users privacy a ''little'' to much. The one thing that he says was the most disturbing update is the feature is Facebooks audio file recognition system.

     He also asked himself but everyone who is watching his video - if Facebook was a person would you hang out with him?

     ''Giving up your personal rights for tailored adds and ''security'' is the dummest thing you can do. Deleting your profile won't solve the issue immediatly but it might trigger the conversation about what is important and how to protect that.''

Massive Twitter Stream Update Makes It Look Like Facebook Timeline

I started to use Twitter about a year ago and now I can't get rid of it. I'm in love with that one stream which is an endless scrolling list on information I want to read. But some recent leaks show that this may soon change the update was spotted earlier this week by a member of Mashable. Even though this update is still testing if it goes through Twitter may look a really similar (almost identical) to Facebook. Not really sure how to feel about this one. 

If you look at the screenshots, you can see that the user profile picture is located on the top left of the user page, just under the header-picture (we've not seen that before) and it even includes a short bio under the photo. Your tweet timeline lives to the right just as your Facebook timeline. Tweets are in massive cubes which I don't like that much. It takes a second to read a tweet and now I will have to scroll endlessly. But the thing we don't see on this pictures is whether this is applyed to only the user profile or the entire timeline. Why would Twitter do this?

Our best guess is to drive additional revenue. The company still didn’t report a profit in its first earnings report since going public, and it needs to continue to find new ways to make money. With a massive area to display content, Twitter opens up plenty of opportunities to serve sponsored posts and other advertisements. We fear that may mean big photo and video ads, though we hope Twitter has some restraint in that regard.

At the time this service is only available to a few selected users, though it seems serious enoguh to be a drastic change that Twitter is considering a roll-out. We won't complain if there is a way to switch between views, but that doesn't appear to be an option in the test screenshots.

When is Zuckerberg going to leave Facebook?

In an article that The Los Angeles Times wrote it's time that Mark Zuckerberg leaves Facebook as its CEO. The main reason is the fall in price of Facebook stocks. When Facebook's stocks went for sale in May they were priced 38 $ pre stock, but now the prices have fallen big and now they are priced at only 20 $.

Thoughts of Stock market analytics Zuckerberg is a visionary in his work and knows in which point move his social network. But he is know-nothing in running a big company like Facebook and is incabable of being it's CEO. Mark has till now shown to be unready for supervising financial operations and daily contacts for potential investitors which are crucial for financial growth of the company.

For all of this Zuckerberg hasn't got the will, he says that he doesn't like them on a personal level or that he can't handle their daily scheduals ( he sleeps till afternoon and for him morning meetings are a no).

Many investitors want to pull out of the company, so that means that there are some changes needed, first the frontman of this comany.

Find out how many unactive or fake followers you have on Twitter

As in every other segment on Twitter the rule is - more is better. But ''more'' always has a flaw. Today we show you a online tool which will show you how many unactive and fake followers you have on Twitter. The tool called Faker Scores will show those numbers in percents.

As you can see our Twitter account doesn't have any fake followers but has 22% inactive followers.

But the thing that isn't clear to us is how does the company StatusPeople with their tool find out how many users are indeed fake or inactive, but we will just have to thrust them on this one becouse they do work with social networks.

Try out Faker Scores.
