iPhone App Makes Facebook Friends More Like Google+ Circles

A new iPhone app will organize your Facebook friends into groups for easier sharing with select people. Created by startup Katango, the app of the same name is an easy way to make Facebook friends work more like Google Circles, the friend-organizing tool built into the search giant's new social network, Google+.

Facebook has offered friend lists and groups for a while, of course, but few users actually create them. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg said at an event last week that only five percent of Facebook users organized their friends into subsets or create specific groups. Google+, on the other hand, holds its Google Circles feature—which lets you wall off specific friends in your network from others—as its primary differentiator from Facebook.

In either case, it's up to the user to make and create the various lists, an exercise in bookkeeping that may be the reason why so few Facebook users actually use the feature. Katango aims to take away the heavy lifting of going through contacts one by one to create groups, freeing up Facebook users to just sit back and share.

"It's not at all inspired by Google+," says Katango co-founder Yoav Shoham. "It was started a year ago. I have now maybe 350 friends on Facebook, and if I want to share a piece of news about Katango or a baby picture, neither one of those is appropriate to send to everybody. If I want to focus on particular people, I have no way of doing it—at least not an easy way."

CASEY ANTHONY MURDER DIARY "CONFESSION" REVEALED

Casey Anthony has "confessed" to killing her daughter Caylee, a source has exclusively told The ENQUIRER.

In a search of Casey's home, cops found a shocking "diary of death" in which the murder-mom basically admits to killing her angel-faced daughter, sources have told The ENQUIRER.

And the detailed handwritten diary written by Casey in the days immediately before and after the toddler's death is so damning that prosecutors could reconsider seeking the death penalty, sources told The ENQUIRER.

In the diary, sources tell The ENQUIRER, twisted Casey spelled out her evil intentions and said she planned to murder her daughter as a "mercy killing" to keep her out of the hands of her mother, Cindy. Police believe the night before Caylee died, Casey and her mother had a vicious fight, and Cindy swore that she would take the little girl away from Casey for good.

"Casey snapped," a source told The ENQUIRER. "In her sick mind, she became convinced that Caylee would be better off dead, in heaven, than in the hands of her mother."

Authorities recently released 650 pages of evidence, including one page of a diary in which Casey wrote: "I have no regrets, just a bit worried. I just want for everything to work out okay. I completely trust my own judgment. I know that I made the right decision."

Casey Anthony Facebook ‘Confession’ Scam

Casey Anthony, America’s most notorious pariah is being used as a Facebook scam, the warning from PC World:

If you see a post on Facebook about a Casey Anthony confession, or a link to download the video chat app, run away. These two new Facebook scams demonstrate why the social network is such fertile ground for attackers to target.

Malware attacks frequently use social engineering to spread and current events as bait. With the recent unveiling of Facebook’s partnership with Skype to deliver video chat from within the social network, and the public outrage over the acquittal of Casey Anthony, attackers have the key ingredients they need to dupe victims into installing malware.

Did Casey Anthony ‘confess’ to her attorneys?

The answer may lie in Jose Baez’ opening statement during the Casey Anthony trial, a claim made by Baez which should have raised red flags with the jury.

From Casey Anthony Trial: Defense Throws Casey’s Father Under the Bus:

Jose Baez:

‘On June 16th 2008, Casey was home with Caylee and so was her father. Early morning hours, the exact time is not known, it could have been Early afternoon, Early morning, actually it was Early morning hours, George Anthony approached Casey and starting yelling at her ‘Where’s Caylee? Where’s Caylee?’

‘The exact time is not known’, the first red flag. The second red flag: Baez waffled on the time frame of Caylee Anthony’s ‘accidental drowning’, ‘it could have been early afternoon, early morning, actually it was early morning hours.’

Those who have tragically lost a child by way of an accident, illness, or a crime have the uncanny ability to recall the exact time their precious child died, went missing, or was murdered.

Casey Anthony was found not guilty of the three felonies related to Caylee Anthony’s death on July 5, 2011. Casey Anthony is set to be released from the Orange County Jail on July 17, 2011. After the acquittal verdict from the jury Casey Anthony has not issued a statement about her daughter’s death via the County Jail or her attorneys. It’s a sure bet behind the scenes major news media outlets are vying for Casey Anthony’s first interview after being released from jail. It’s also another sure bet, if Casey gives a (paid) interview she won’t ‘confess’. The interview, Casey’s first opportunity to put yet another ‘spin’ on what happened to Caylee Anthony in June of 2008. Or, Casey Anthony may wait to tell her ‘story’ in a book, a la OJ Simpson.

Four Reasons Businesses Should Start Using Facebook Video Chat

Facebook held a media event Wednesday morning to unveil 'something awesome'. That something awesome is that Facebook is adding a group chat feature, and the ability--in partnership with Skype--to conduct video calls from within Facebook.

1. You are already there.

2. They are already there.

3. Saves time and money.

4. The price is right.

Facebook video chat is limited to one-on-one calls, unlike Google+ Huddles which allow for group video chat, or even group simultaneous watching of YouTube videos. There are certainly some practical business applications for the group aspects of Google+. Hopefully, Facebook will continue to expand on the video chat concept and include a group video chat function at some point. What would really be cool is if Facebook, Google+, Skype, Apple FaceTime, and any other competing video chat platform could all get on the same page so they could all work together, but I won't hold my breath.

HOW TO: Launch Facebook Skype Video Chat [PICS]

Chat, Facebook, How to, Pics, Skype, Video

You can now make video calls on Facebook, thanks to a new Skype-powered feature the social network launched Wednesday.

During the product announcement, Mark Zuckerberg described how his elderly neighbor in Palo Alto asked if he could to video chat his grandson on Facebook — without the hassle of setting up a new account or downloading a program. “Tune in,” Zuckerberg told him.

It’s not quite as seamless as Zuckerberg’s neighbor was hoping, however. The first time you try to video chat someone or answer a call, you will indeed be asked to download a program. The chat window will then ask you to select some Flash settings.

After that, the feature works like “a mini-Skype client,” as Skype CEO Tony Bates mentioned during the announcement. It also has a neat option to record a video message if the person you’re calling doesn’t answer. Here’s a brief walk-through in pictures.

Facebook Reveals Video Chat Powered by Skype

Facebook video chat is real: the social network has unveiled its rumored video chat product, powered by Skype.

“A few months ago, we started working with Skype to bring video calling to Facebook,” Facebook announced on its blog. “We built it right into chat, so all your conversations start from the same place. To call your friend, just click the video call button at the top of your chat window.”

The new chat product, according to Facebook’s blog, will allow users to call their friends right from Facebook. The revamped chat system now includes a sidebar with “the people you message most.” It automatically appears when your browser is big enough.
