People love to explore new things and features at every point in their life and Facebook is the place where maximum of us love to be in touch with each other as it is the most popular Social Networking Website and thus it carries the responsibility of satisfying around 200 million users who are using the website. Facebook changed its look completely and you must have observed that new feature which has been introduced the page of the profile. The profile page has become more interactive for the user who visits your profile and in this post I will be covering all the new features which have been introduced besides this I will also be telling you that how these features are interactive.

I will be telling you most of the highlighted features one by one. They all are enlisted as follows:-

Personal Information and interests

As soon you open the profile of your friend (or if you even open your own profile) then you will find that al the all the personal information has been scripted below your name. Initially the page was allotted to this section where your likings and personal information was covered. But now they have tried to wind up the personal information which consists of your age, sex, your current location under one or two lines. This time you can even tag your friends which were with you at the time of school and college. It will be displayed on the screen that who were the friends with whom you attended your school and college. Moreover you can also see the common interest among your friends and let me tell you that al the interests are accompanied by a picture and this has been done in order to make a picture more visual.

Photographs

This is the only source of information in which everyone is interested to know. Now you can see the photographs just below the personal information of that friend. You can also categorize of highlight some of your photographs in your profile so that when some other user visits your profile he or she will see those photographs first.

Friends

Now this list initially consisted of only 6 members and they all were there in a small box. Now you can see the list of your friend in the left hand side aligned vertically with larger photos as compared to the previous profile layout. You can even feature a certain list of friends like you can collect up all of your college friends which will enlisted when someone visits your profile.

Wall

After getting all the information people love to read the wall posts because it tells them about your current status, what you have been doing these days on Facebook. So this is also available on the first page.
I short I should say that all the information which is required to completely know about a certain friend is enlisted on a single page and this is really a very positive change done by Facebook. We will keep you updated with any new changes found related to this news topic or any other topic which is related to it and anyhow if you get to know anything related to the news topics mentioned above then please do not hesitate to share it with us, just put it down in the comments section and if we found it genuine then we will be sharing that piece of information with all the other readers on your behalf, so keep searching something useful and then let us know about it.

Google is really concerned about its users and that is the reason it keeps on adding something new every day without a gap. Google added an extension for its browser Google Chrome and this extension is for taking the snapshot of a webpage. So in short I should say that if you are working on Google Chrome and you want to remember about a particular advertisement which was there on a page, then you can take the snapshot of that webpage without the help of any tool just install this extension in your browser and then you take snapshot as per your convenience. In this post I will be telling you about the feature of this new extension and how can you use this extension.
clip_image002
I will be providing you the link to this extension and then you will just have to press install button which will install it on your browser. It will download the CRX file of around 100 KBs and then after getting installed it will appear in the same way as you can see in the snapshot shown above. It is very simple to use and one of the most attracting feature of this tool is that it wisely understands the page and if there is any advertisement on the page which is floating on the page then it will just capture it one and then ignore it while scrolling down that webpage.
clip_image004
If you want to use this extension then just click that icon which is highlighted in the first snapshot and then you will see a screen similar to the one shown in that snapshot above this paragraph. You can see the options in two categories few of them are on the right side and some of them are on the left side. The options available on the right side will help you save the screenshot in the GIF file format or you can copy it, if you want then you can even edit that screenshot for your own convenience.
Please use this extension and then let us know about any problem faced while using it or if you discover any new feature with this extension then please write about it in the comments section. We will be glad to share it on your account keep reading and have a nice day.

So, it is obvious that you must be getting restless to know about the status of the release of that phone in your country and luckily Google has also taken care of it. You can read the article and then at the end you will find a link to the website, which has been especially designed by Google for Nexus S. I am sure that once it comes in market people will love to keep it in their hands. In this post I will be telling you that haw you can be updated with the latest news updates of this phone.

So, after taking the glance at the screen shot shown above you must have got an idea about getting the latest updates of this phone. Google has deigned this website for their new mobile phone and here you can take a look at the specifications and the gallery of that phone. You can also take a glance at the features of this phone and please note that the feature have been described in detail so if you are in a mood to buy this phone then you should take a glance at them.
Now you must be seeing the area which has been highlighted by me in the snapshot.
