| Facebook Applications now tell what Private Data is Shared Posted: 30 Jun 2010 09:38 PM PDT  Facebook is rolling out a new feature that requires 3rd party applications to inform users exactly what parts of their profiles will be shared to make the applications work. Applications already had to ask for user permission to access anything in their profiles that wasn’t public. But these apps didn’t actually have to specify what information they were using to the user. This included information like photos, your friends’ birthdays, e-mail address and contact info. Under the new policy by Facebook, the 3rd party applications will say which aspects of a profile they will pull data. The user cannot disallow certain aspects of information from being used by the app – they have to either grant permission or disallow the app from working in entirety. Due to criticism and the site’s growth from a small network for universities and college students, Facebook privacy settings have seem to become complicated for average users. As a result, lately Facebook has rolled out a raft of privacy setting updates to make the privacy settings more user-friendly and configurable to its users. © admin for Social Media News, 2010. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us       |

| AdMob May 2010 Mobile Metrics Report released, Android Apple battle Posted: 30 Jun 2010 07:32 PM PDT  Google’s Admob have released their May Mobile metrics report giving the latest information on mobile operating system market shares. The main fight is between Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android operating systems. Apple is the clear leader at the moment but Android is making some significant gains. In terms of mobile ad requests, Apple is leading worldwide with 30% market share and Nokia in second place with 23%. Each have strengths in different markets. Apple clearly leads in the US, while Nokia in Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. The below graph illustrates the ad market share of the mobile operating systems: In terms of smartphone operating systems – Apple once again holds the highest market share, however Android is making significant gains and fast growth. 67% of Android devices are in the US, whilst less than half of Apple’s iOS devices are in the US. It’s clear Apple has penetrated markets outside of the US better than Android so far, but that could be because Apple has had a slight head start. All the major mobile operating systems are fighting to keep developers on their platform. Apple has 30% of ad impressions and have paid over $1 billion to developers in revenue over the past 2 years. Apple users are more likely to purchase paid apps than any other mobile operating system. Android however is making inroads with lots of developers also creating products on their platform. Below if the full Admob May report for your viewing which also includes information in smaller places in the smartphone market such as Symbian OS, RIM OS, Windows Mobile OS, WebOS
It will be interesting to monitor these Admob reports over the coming months as the battle between iOS and Android continues. © admin for Social Media News, 2010. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us     |
| Facebook iPhone app updated for iOS4 Posted: 30 Jun 2010 06:47 PM PDT  Facebook have today updated their iPhone app so it is compatible with the new iOS4 operating system. As a result you can expect fast app switching using multitasking and support for high resolution icons/graphics. Facebook is the most popular iPhone application to date and a little strange it took them so long to get the app tweaked for iOS4. However many have wondered why Facebook has not yet built a native iPad application as it would surely be very popular aswell. This is now version 3.1.4 of Facebook for iPhone Have you downloaded the update, what do you think? © admin for Social Media News, 2010. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us     |
