Facebook WiFi, a project to improve access to the Internet from public places

The social network  Facebook  has an important area of innovation that is focusing its efforts on new projects that until now have remained secret. One that has come to light, following talks  Engadget  with the head of the mobile division of Facebook ,  Erik Tseng , is  Facebook WiFi . The bill would allow users to access  free WiFi  in public places by logging into  Facebook . It would, to put it simply, that the world's institutions and places offered to its customers an Internet connection to  access Facebook and the net in general . These, in turn, could get some kind of benefit.When connecting to the wireless network  WiFi  's local share user - through an automatic mechanism - its location.

Thus, apart from  logging on to the wireless network business , share your check-in with dozens of friends on Facebook . Clients of this program could increase its popularity and see real traffic increased. They would know also new information about the profile of those who visit, data that will be useful to focus its business strategy.

At present, the company is working with suppliers to carry out the project. The truth is that the advantage is twofold. On the one hand, service users will have the opportunity to access a wireless network  to connect to secured  Facebook, but perhaps also to access many areas of the Internet and download data. And all for free. On the other hand, clients may know more users and additional return, still studying, through campaigns. Something similar happened  with the check-ins  at places platform , integrated into the social network itself. Through this service and in return to make check-in  in one place, establishments like  Starbucks, El Corte Ingles  or  Sol Meliá  offering freebies and discounts on their products. Moreover, it is clear that the fact made ​​available to visitors  free Internet  is a claim with almost immediate effect. Why choose another cafe if this offers me coffee at the same price, but with  free WiFi ?

But this project is not new. Nothing is further from reality. Since  2012, Facebook  and the company CISCO  maintain an agreement that offer  free WiFi  in hotels, shops, restaurants and other businesses. The  routers  are fitted with a software  for  Facebook , so that when the user opens the browser is redirected to the social network to  enter your login data . Once this step, the client gets a free connection establishment to the  WiFi network .

And what about your application?, You ask. Well, right now  Facebook  has opened the  pilot project with CISCO  in 1,000 small and medium businesses  spread across a total of 50 countries . It is possible that an analysis of the pros and cons of this service / experience, Facebook  can apply - possibly with  CISCO  and perhaps other companies - across the board. We will see later.  'And you, you conectarías to WiFi

Create your own cover photos for your bio on Facebook

If you are tired of seeing the same image, and none of the various  sites to create cover photos for your biography in Faceboo k  leaves you satisfied, you can create your own cover photo . You only need to have an original image, which you can take with your webcam, cell phone or portable digital camera.

An original cover photo will help to give you an even more personalized touch to your bio on Facebook . The following steps will guide you to create your new cover image.

1. Choose the photo you want to use for the cover of your biography
   Find a picture you like and you have saved on the hard drive of your computer. It may be that you have stored in the My Documents or My Pictures. Or if you sent it to a person you know, may still be in one of the emails you have received. And if you have any, take one using your mobile phone, webcam or digital camera.  No
   you download internet pictures that belong to other people , and you're exposing potential legal problems that could potentially cost you a lot of money.
   
   Once you select the picture you want to use, save it to your computer desktop for easier you find it again in the next step.
2. Edit your cover photo
   Digital cameras that exist today, and even cell phones, are able to take digital photos at a very high resolution. This means you are able to create large images. These sizes are ideal if you want to print, but do not play in your favor if you want to use as your cover, because Facebook will reduce its size automatically, ruining what could be a very good cover shot.
   To address this potential problem, I recommend that you edit your photos yourself. If you do not have a photo editing program such as  Adobe Photoshop ,  Paint Shop Pro  or similar, do not worry. You can use a free editing program and online, which allows you to use the features you need to create your cover. I recommend you try using the web application called  Pixlr . A second alternative is the application  LunaPic .
   Upload your photo in one of these programs. Remember to use the photo you chose and you saved on the desktop of your computer.
3. Measures your photo
   The  exact extent of the cover photos on Facebook  is 851 pixels wide by 315 pixels tall. That is,  851 x 315 .
   Following these measures, crop the image you want to use to fit them. Use the Crop tool or  Crop , or just create a new image with these measures and paste on it a new layer that contains the photo you want to use.
   When you set the picture measures you will use, save it on the desktop of your computer using a name that is easy to identify.
4. Upload your new photo to Facebook Cover
   It's time to get your new cover, and this process is very similar to  upload a photo to Facebook . The most direct and simple way to change your current carried by the new photo you've created is:
   • Visit your timeline on Facebook.
   • Place the pointer of your  mouse  over your current cover photo.
   • When you see the button  Change cover  click on it.
   • Choose the option  Upload a photo .
   • Select the photo you created and click  Open .
   • Facebook will show you how it is. If your image allows, you can move it to fit.
   • When you're ready, click Obre  Save Changes . If you change your mind, click on  Cancel .
5. You've created your new cover photo
   I have a new cover photo, completely original and you've created yourself. If you are unhappy with it, repeat these steps to create a new, this time using a different image. Or if you want you can try the same but adding text or different details about it.

Facebook will allow users to share their information publicly teens

Before users to modify the privacy of your updates will be trained to "understand the implications that that implies."

Although teenagers publish the content, its activity will not appear in the search engines.

 The teenager will receive a reminder of who can see what you post and may decide to share it with your friends or with a wider audience.

Facebook announced Wednesday that will allow users to share content publicly adolescents, so that anyone can access publications they rise to the social network. Until now, Facebook users under 18 could only share content with your friends and contacts of his friends, but his hearing may be universal if they so choose.

 Before that users choose to modify the privacy of your updates will be trained on privacy that will provide the social network itself to "understand the implications that this entails" and make a "informed decision." 

Before users to modify the privacy of your information to receive updates to "understand the implications" "Using conducting internet adolescents in general is very very different to what it was when he started Facebook", explained in an interview the director of public affairs for the social network in Spain, Natalia Basterrechea.

 Once accepted the change to share content publicly, the teen will receive a reminder of who can see them. In addition, you can decide on a new action if the shares exclusively with friends or with a wider audience.

 Facebook gives a turn to use policy relating to adolescence in an emergency context of different social networks that appeal to children: Snapchat, Twitter or Instagram are some of them. Even LinkedIn, for professionals, has lowered the entry age of its members from 18 to 14. 

The American Center Pew Research studies indicated a few weeks ago that the use of social networking by teenagers is diversifying and the relations of these with Facebook is "complicated". Basterrechea has indicated that Facebook has detected a "growing demand by users" to share their posts publicly. 

"This move is in line with other services that teens can use today and is evidenced by the fact that some of them are public voices on other platforms and are involved in civil society issues and activism" acknowledged the directive.

To support this thesis has cited a study by EU Kids Online which shows that 26% of children have public profiles on social networks and that this generation has a very deep knowledge of privacy tools they can use in them. 

Although teenagers publish the content, its activity will not appear in the search engines. Another change introduced today in the social network is that the privacy settings of the accounts will default under more restrictive: in principle its content will only be accessible to your contacts, not the friends of their friends as usual. 

"For our part we want to provide the education necessary to carry out those choices in an informed manner," he argued Basterrechea.
