'Facebook at Work' launched for final testing

The social networking site has launched "Facebook at Work", a service that works like regular Facebook except you use it to connect to colleagues who may or may not be friends.

"Facebook at Work" has the same look, apps and tools as found on the Facebook but with a different colour scheme.

The colour scheme is shaded white instead of Facebook's trademark blue, making it easy for employers to tell whether you are on Facebook or "Facebook at Work" during office hours.

Other features like news feed, search, groups, events, messenger and photo and video sharing functions are the same.

But one needs to have a separate Facebook identity specifically for sharing with colleagues, the report added.

It will exist as a separate portal on the desktop as well as on separate apps for iPhones and Android devices.

A mobile web version will also be available.

Facebook employees are using the service internally for years now.

Social networking turns to tales of cold and snow

Over the past week, social media feeds and Internet sites were filled with tales of fighting the winter blues.

With temperatures dropping below zero, meteorologists posted constant updates, parents shared school closing announcements and commuters took dashboard photos listing temperatures as low as minus 17 degrees. When snow and ice accumulated over the weekend, self-proclaimed traffic reporters posted Facebook warnings to stay off the roads.

Others admitted to checking warm-weather vacation websites. Friends living on the West Coast mocked those in the East. I live in Los Angeles, I am coping just fine! former Pittsburgher Michael McNeirney said.

North Huntington resident Randy Persi admitted to booking a vacation to Florida online.

California University of Pennsylvania graduate Mark Gregris posted scuba diving pictures from his trip to Belize.

Some people preferred creativity to vacation planning. Finleyville resident Phil Obidzinski uploaded recent photographs. Winter weather sometimes helps create great pictures, he said.

Pittsburgher Kahmeela Adams produced and edited podcasts for her website ruggedangel.com. Kim Coyle Bevan of Eighty Four finished constructing minion lawn ornaments. Her pictures proved she made one for every holiday.

Meanwhile, the Sauer family hosted a poetry event called Word Circus last Friday night at their establishment: Most Wanted Fine Art, a gallery, music and performance space on Penn Avenue in Garfield. Jason also painted a portrait of his friends dog, said Nina Sauer.

April May Ohms of Greenfield performed in Lend Me a Tenor at the Theatre Factory in Trafford. Only about 25 percent of the reservations showed up Friday and Saturday night. On Sunday, we played to a full house! she said.

Amy Barker Meyers enjoyed listening to her son Adams band, Man and the Arena, at a local pub.

Facebook pays bug hunters $3mn; India reports largest number of threats

New Delhi, Feb 26:

Social networking giant Facebook has paid over $3 million since 2011 to security researchers who report bugs on its website, with India topping the tally with the largest number of valid threats reported.

India, which has over 112 million Facebook users, cornered an average reward of $1,343 (about Rs 84,000) in the US-based firms Bug Bounty programme.

India contributed the largest number of valid bugs again this year at 196, with an average reward of $1,343, Facebook said in a post.

Egypt and the US followed at the second and third spots by volume, with 81 bugs and 61 bugs, respectively, and an average reward size of $1,220 and $2,470, it added.

The UK, which took the fourth spot in reporting bugs, earned the highest amount per report in 2014, receiving an average of $2,768 for 28 bugs.

The Philippines was at fifth, earning a total of $29,500 for 27 bugs, it said.

A bug is an error or defect in software or hardware that causes a programme to malfunction. It often occurs due to conflicts in software when applications try to run in tandem.

While bugs can cause software to crash or produce unexpected results, certain defects can be used to gain unauthorised access to systems.

Weve paid out more than $3 million since we got started in 2011, and in 2014 we paid $1.3 million to 321 researchers across the globe. The average reward in 2014 was $1,788, Facebook Security Engineer Collin Greene said in the post.
