facebook drag and drop photos drop photos, trials simplified Timeline and delivers new privacy controls

Anyone who’s returned from an event with a virtual armful of photos may have been frustrated with Facebook’s upload interface, which until now has involved a less-than-intuitive file browser. The company is quietly solving that problem: an update pushing out to individual users lets them drag-and-drop photos into a new post, like we’ve seen on other social networks, and to a newly streamlined Messages format that’s rolling out at the same time. A much smaller circle is seeing a second update. Facebook has confirmed to ABC News that it’s conducting limited trials of an updated Timeline that moves the news feed to a single column, replaces the thumbnail navigation with simpler-looking tabs and makes all profile page information available through scrolling. A spokesperson wouldn’t say if or when the new Timeline would reach the wider public, but history points to “when” being more likely. They did however mention that the new privacy shortcuts, activity log and untagging tool would be going live for all users starting tonight, and we’ve already seen them pop up on some of our accounts.

tablet sales How Annual Tablet Sales Will Explode To 450 Million By 2016

In the two years since Apple launched the iPad,  the tablet market has exploded. When one includes Android and other tablets as well as e-readers, nearly 100 million tablets were sold in 2011.

Tablets and smartphones will not completely displace PCs. But they will quickly overwhelm them in terms of unit sales. When, where, how and to what degree this occurs will have tremendous implications across many businesses and industries. 

In a recent report from BI Intelligence, we estimate that tablet sales will reach 450 million units by 2016, and lay out the key analysis behind these forecasts.

Suddenly, Facebook Is Playing Up Your Local 7-Eleven (FB)

7 eleven Suddenly, Facebook Is Playing Up Your Local 7 Eleven (FB)

Facebook wants you to check out your local 7-Eleven. Or Dunkin Donuts. Or Starbucks.

Pages for specific locations have seen a major pickup in activity on the social network in recent months.

That’s apparently the result of a deliberate shift in the algorithms Facebook uses to determine what to show users, according to Rob Reed, CEO of Momentfeed, a Santa Monica, Calif.-based provider of location-based marketing services.

In the past, those algorithms have generally favored the main brand page.

In other words, Facebook really wants you to see when your friends like the Starbucks down the street, as opposed to the Starbucks brand overall.

Facebook would not comment on whether it had changed is algorithm to favor local pages. But the evidence is dramatic. Data provided to Business Insider by Momentfeed show an unusual pattern in “likes” received by locations of Dunkin Donuts and 7-Eleven.

At the beginning of the year, both companies saw almost no likes to their locations. Likes started rising sharply in March, followed by a dramatic drop, then another steady rise.

Joergen Aaboe, Momentfeed’s director of marketing, said the drop was likely a sign of Facebook’s “algorithm tweaks.”

Facebook Places, the social network’s location-based feature, has struggled to gain wide traction since it was introduced nearly two years ago. With the growth of smartphone usage, though, local advertising has soared in importance. And Facebook is desperate to show off its potential in mobile advertising.

For brands with multiple retail locations, this could mean a major shift in Facebook strategy. Instead of trying to accumulate likes for one master brand page, they’ll need to worry about hundreds or thousands of local pages.

Here’s the data:

Video’, Just Lost About Half Of Its Daily Users

Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/socialcam-daily-users-2012-5

It looks like SocialCam, the hottest app on the App Store, is in serious trouble.

AppData has finally updated the daily users for Facebook-connected apps after a few days of lag, and it shows that SocialCam’s Facebook-connected daily users fell off a cliff.

That drop probably includes the past five days, which basically showed no change in daily users.

google cloud print Google Cloud Print adds FedEx, Canon to remote printing roster, throws Android users a PDF bone

Chrome users are in store for a bundle of printing perks today courtesy of a recent update to Google Cloud Print. In addition to wirelessly sending documents to nearby printers, Mountain View’s now adding FedEx to the drop down destination list, granting users the ability to obtain retrieval codes for use at any of that shipping service’s locations across the U.S. The remote printing feature has also gained an additional device partner, enlisting Canon into the ranks of participating companies, occupied by the likes of Epson, Kodak and HP. And as an extra bonus for the Android faithful, handsets and tablets sporting the search giant’s Ice Cream Sandwich OS will now be able to receive and display transmitted docs as PDFs, although you’ll need to install the beta version of the company’s mobile browser to take advantage of this seamless integration. Open OS, meet the closed-off cloud.
