Google+ is getting popular day by day. Although it is on the trial phase, millions of users are using it and seems it will be a hit. The users in the Google+ are those who either use Facebook or those who left Facebook to stick with Google+. Theres a good news for people who use both facebook and Google+. They can now move their photo albums from facebook to Google+.

The app was very popular and saw over 10,000 users putting photo movement request. Developer Jain said "I did not think it will get such a response. We moved 4 lakh photos which took up lot of resources. We have a long request queue waiting, so we have temporarily paused accepting requests". 

Google+ bombarded spam notifications to the users due to a bug. Many of the Google+ got users got massive notifications today. This may have affected different users differently. I got about 55 notification email filed under a single conversation thread,but many of my friends say they didn't received any kind of such emails.

Vic Gundotra, Senior Vice-President of Social for Google, on his official Google+ page posted 

"Please accept our apologies for the spam we caused this afternoon.

For about 80 minutes we ran out of disk space on the service that keeps track of notifications. Hence our system continued to try sending notifications. Over, and over again. Yikes.

Thank you for helping us during this field trial, and once again, we are very sorry for the spam."

But we’ll likely see even more issues than normal arise from Google+, since its “field trial” status — which has led Google to limit participation in the service so that it can see how Google+ handles the initial stampede of traffic — seems to indicate that it may be even less mature than a typical Google beta test.

For a field test though, Google+ seems to be off to a good start. It’s been the most buzzed about tech topic since it was announced last week, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt also recently said that it has millions of users (not that that’s a huge surprise).

Scams are no new to Facebook. Once the other day Facebook walls are filled with various spams. Sometimes with the titles somewhat like " SEE WHAT THAT PARENT DID AFTER SEEING THAT VIDEO" or other time "YOU NEVER IMAGINED THIS", scams spread out on the Social giant Facebook. Facebook, with no doubt has been heaven for scammers. This time a scam has taken over Facebook in the name of Facebook new feature Video Calling.

Its been few days since Facebook launched its most talked feature Video Calling. But with the launch of that features, scammers are teaming up to trick you into spamming all your Facebook friends, using the lure of the new video calling feature. Most people got lucky and installed video calling on facebook. But many are still unable to install it. Its a warning to all of you, those whose haven't been able to install facebook video calling, don't be the victim of such spams.  Facebook Video Calling not supported on Linux and Chromium, and those users unable to install it can click in the links and may be the victim of spam.

The scam comes to you in the form of a wall post, enticing you to “Enable video calls". But naked security strongly suggests you not to click on the links. Naked security also shared the following images.

According to mashable "If you do click on that bogus message, it asks for access to your basic information, wants to post to your wall, to access your posts in your news feed and access your data at any time.

The enthusiasm of Nepali Football fan in the match between Nepal and East Timor  was animated. Thousand of supporters poured into Dashrath Stadium to support Nepal. The world cup qualifiers matches are being held on Home and Away basis. Since East Timor don't have a stadium, Both Home and Away matches were played in Nepal. 

But The venue for Nepal´s home match against Jordan in the 2014 World Cup Asian Qualifiers second round is still undecided even though schedules in the official website of the Asian Football Confederation (the-afc.com) shows the match would be held in the Dasharath Stadium, Kathmandu.

Indra Man Tuladhar ,CEO .All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) said “We are still undecided about hosting the home match against Jordan in Kathmandu since we are facing the problem of ground maintenance" Tuladhar added "As the Martyrs Memorial League is going on, we still have ground problem despite our interest to host the home match"

Previously, ANFA had asked to play both Home and Away match at Jordan. But after the matches with East Timor getting massive response from Fans, ANFA is in tremendous pressure to host the home match. Meanwhile ANFA is doing homework to host the match against Jordan. ANFA spokesman Lalit Krishna Shrestha says "We are discussing about the preparation of the national team and managing the ongoing league simultaneously but we are undecided yet,"

Meanwhile, Graham Roberts has said that he will make sure home match against Jordan will be played in Kathmandu. Speaking after post match conference after defeating Timor Leste 5-0 in the second match of first round matches of 2014 World Cup Asian Qualifiers, he said, "I will do everything possible to make sure we are playing our home match at home. You should not hurt thousands of Nepalese football fans."

Lets hope we can support NEPALI FOOTBALL TEAM .

Nepal's Away match will be Played at Amman Interbational stadium at Jordan which has the capacity of 25,000 suppoters.

Finally, now you can view your Facebook stream inside Google+ with an extension called GOOGLE+FACEBOOK. This application was godsend to me as I was irritated managing many social networking sites. Previously, I had linked my twitter and Facebook account in order to manage both of them easily. But after the arrival of Google+, I desperately needed an extension to link Google+ and Facebook.

In order to see your Facebook steam inside Google+, you need to install  an extension 'GOOGLE+FACEBOOK'. Click here to install the extension. After the easy one click installation you can see a little facebook icon on your Google+ homepage. Clicking on that icon you will be able to see all your facebook stream right there on Google+. Moreover you can update your facebook status from Google+ itself. Sounds Cool ! isn't it? According to developers, the extension was created in 1 day using crossrider. Google Chrome and Firefox easily supports the extension but IE doesn't support it due to https:// security level issues.

I linked my Google+ with Facebook. See how it looks.

Me at the zoo is the first video ever to be uploaded to YouTube. It was uploaded at 8:27 pm on Saturday, April 23, 2005 by Jawed Karim, one of the co-founders of the site, under the username "jawed".Described by The Observer as "poor-quality", the video was shot by Yakov Lapitsky at the San Diego Zoo; it features Karim in front of the elephants, explaining how interesting their "really, really, really long trunks" are, and is 19 seconds long.

The Los Angeles Times states: "as the first video uploaded to YouTube, it played a pivotal role in fundamentally altering how people consumed media and helped usher in a golden era of the 60-second video." As of June 2011, the video had received over 5 million views.

With the launch of Google+ , a new feature called HANGOUT became really popular. This is the main feature that makes G+ different than Facebook. As soon as search engine giant Google launched G+,so called 'FACEBOOK KILLER', people started saying it seems to be way cooler than Facebook. With the features like HANGOUT ,Sparks,circle etc G+ can be called as the COMBO for Facebook and Twitter.

To overcome the buzz of Hangout,Social Networking Giant Facebook launched its most talked ‘awesome’ Video Chat powered by Skype on Wednesday.At the company’s Palo Alto, California, headquarters on Wednesday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch of Video Chat on Facebook in collaboration with Skype.

This announcement also brought the attention back to Facebook, after Google Inc. has hogged the social media spotlight for the last week with Google+. The thing to note is that facebook chat is different than G+'s Hangout. You cannot have group chat on Facebook as on G+. Only one to one video calling is allowed in Facebook.

Zuckerberg stated that with 750 million active users with Facebook, it will be a great boost for the skype. Let me remind you that Skype which was recently bought by Microsoft corporation. In its blog Facebook wrote, “A few months ago, we started working with Skype to bring video calling to Facebook. 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.”

Video Calling still doesn't support various browsers and Linux platform. Click here to read more.
