My Content Is Being Stolen
2013-01-01 06:19:00 Yes that's right, some guy is blatantly stealing this blog's content, post by post and made a blog of it. It's pretty easy to see, he's ripping my feed and posts a bit after me, sometimes forgets to remove the social bookmarking links in the feed!So if you're reading this, and you're not on http://allthemusicnews.blogspot-.com, it means you fell on that stealer's blog, so come back to http://allthemusicnews.blogspot-.com.Hopefully he will be shutdown soon, he has been reported, and it seems i'm not his only victim as he publishes 9 different blogs, all with stolen content.If you want to help me shut him off, here's the address of his blog: http://musicnewslog.blogspot.co-m/. The blogspot navbar is hidden of course so you can't flag the blog, but you can manually go there on blogger here and report the stealer, http://musicnewslog.blogspot.co-m. If you have a few seconds, report his other blogs too, all stolen content!Thanks!
Google Buckles Under Pressure Removes Offensive Content. Facebook Refuse 2
2012-02-07 11:32:00 In the ongoing issue about an Indian Trial court trying to book Google, Facebook, Microsoft and 18 other social networking firms over the alleged ‘Objectionable Content’ being hosted on their sites, Google India seems to have given in to the trial courts demands. They told the court yesterday that they have managed to remove certain offending web-pages from their search results. Facebook and Google were among the ones that filed a compliance report earlier in accordance with the court’s directive to remove texts, photos and videos which depicted Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh in a negative light. This complaint filed by an activist has been blown up and religion is also being used as an excuse for such an action. Companies like Yahoo! and Microsoft have filed for deletion of their names from the list of defendants due to the fact that there was no allegation against them for web-casting any hurtful material. While Google India has given in to this absurd request which is...

Yahoo’s Late Entry in Video Content Won’t Matter, Believes Vishal M
2012-02-07 07:10:00 We had recently reported about the Yahoo’s entry into Video Content Delivery for Indians. Mr. Vishal Maheshwari [VS] spoke to Pravda Godbole [PG] of Business Standard. Below are some excerpts. PG inquired exactly what we had been wondering. Won’t the late entry prove the reason for being sidetracked? VS reasoned that it won’t because Yahoo is not just a simple Video sharing website. Its proposition is to offer “strictly original, fully licensed video content”. Yahoo believes there is a huge demand for “premium licensed video content in India”. Yahoo has taken the first initiative to offer just that. How does Yahoo go about doing that? As a premium video destination, Yahoo will not wait for up loaders. Further Yahoo, won’t simply bombard its users with random videos. Its Content Optimization Relevance Engine (CORE) will offer personalization, helping users discover content of their interest. Content like full-length movies, Bollywood, sports, news, lifestyle...

Twitter Moves Towards Content Curation
2012-01-31 06:35:00 Why is Twitter insanely popular? That is because it is the perfect tool to send out byte sized opinions and news. It’s micro-blogging nature, the presence of Celebrities and even Politicians are the biggest things going for it as a social communications platform. As last year came to a close it was the star when it came to generating buzz, but the real question is, ‘Is Twitter looking at a new direction?’The first indication of this comes from the Twitter 3.0 design that they pushed out last year. The design was awesome and was consistent even on its mobile apps. They added ‘Home, ‘Connect’ and ‘Discover’ tabs to the interface and let go of the old ones like ‘re-tweets and mentions’. Twitter doesn’t want people using third-party clients either. Here, the ‘Discover tab’ is of some significance. When you click on it it you are treated to a very visual kind of summary of the days trending topics. Here’s an example: Now look at the latest startup that Twi...

Yahoo To Start Inserting Ads To Its Media Content. Get Ready For Commercial
2012-01-24 07:59:00 Yahoo! will soon offer Marketing agencies an opportunity to insert their advertisements into Yahoo’s multimedia content. A while ago, Yahoo had made foray, albeit late into the world of online streaming of movies. Yahoo, at that time claimed it was doing so to offer original & professionally created content to its audiences. Now we know why it had intended to do so. At that time it even offered a web-exclusive release of Super-K an animation film. Yahoo had been planning this for quite some time. We had first reported Yahoo’s spreading of its wings in Sep 2011. Hence this should not come as surprise. Especially when Ad-spends in India, though are rising, the online display advertising business is a dismal 3.7 per cent of the total budget allocated for putting across products & brands. With gross under monetization of this lucrative, yet untapped field, Yahoo! has as its audience of about 30 Million Internet users who regularly consume online video content. In terms of c...

Hire Humans To Censor Content Mr. Sibal Tells Internet Giants
2011-12-06 10:14:00 In a policy decision likely to have serious implications, Mr. Sibal has asked Internet Giants: Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo, to censor and moderate all the content that is generated by users from India. The issue is not new, but this one started when a Facebook Page containing defamatory remarks about Sonia Gandhi was discovered last month. Mr. Sibal has called it “unacceptable” and asked the companies’ Executives to look for a way to “monitor what is posted on their sites”. A top official in the ministry, however has taken a dual stand, “The government of India does not believe in censorship. But sensitivity and feelings of different communities cannot be allowed to be hurt. They (the Internet companies) host these sites and they must regulate it (the content),” The Tech giants though have assured Mr. Sibal that the specific compliant will be looked into, but refrained from committing on the “Censoring” part.

2011-11-25 08:53:00 Google News now has additional support from Google+ with the articles that Google+ users read & vote using the +1 button.

This endeavor has brought forward opportunity for things that have been +1′d by a Gmail contact or someone from a Google+ circle to show up in the Spotlight Section of Google News. Earlier, Google News had been simply showing users the +1 button next to articles to let users up-vote or recommend particular items.

Is Facebook Killing ‘Content Curation’?
2011-11-21 17:02:00 Facebook is indeed allowing us to speculate about the future of social networking with its new changes and road-maps. Their most ingenious feature, the Timeline has been praised by all as it provides a simple and easy way for your friends or contact to view a section or whole of your life on Facebook. Another important feature is the Open Graph protocol which is designed for the new era of social apps which will broadcast your actions and your life to your contacts and friends. All this was much appreciated but the important question is being raised by many people -Are these new features making Content curation and discovery invalid? The answer is complicated. Auto sharing of your content to people rids you of effort to figure out what to share with whom but this same ‘figuring out’ is needed to ensure that a particularly naughty joke doesn’t reach your grandmother or some other relatives? This is what is being called the ‘Freaky Line’ by Richard Scoble. Facebook has...

Should Newspapers Charge for Online Content?
2011-03-29 10:46:00 Since Monday New York Times has started charging for its web edition. It’s a first general news site in USA which has erected a paywall around its online news content. There are number of newspapers which already charge for their web editions, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, The Times and Sunday Times, etc. So will the paywall concept work? Many people are against the idea of newspapers charging for web editions. They believe in the doctrine of “information wants to be free”. Some say that the internet users are so used to the idea of free content on the net that the paywall model won’t work at all.

Content Sharing Site BlinkkMe Receives Funding From Info Edge
2011-03-23 04:15:00 Nogle Technologies plans to launch a content sharing portal called BlinkkMe which is now being funded with Rs.1 crore from Info Edge Ltd., the company behind Naukri.com.

Clicking on it opens a pop-up box for Facebook confirmation which is linked to BlinkkMe and requests permission to access your basic information, profile information and send you emails.

Zomato, Applect Learning Systems Pvt Ltd, Etechaces Consulting, Marketing Pvt Limited are some of the firms in which it had invested. Undoubtedly Info Edge saw s...
