Social media sites floored by Modi wave

Modi wave swept across social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook as BJP inched towards a thumping victory in the 16 Lok Sabha elections. Narendra Modi was the major trending topic on Twitter worldwide, who declared the victory of NDA by tweeting India has won! The tweet broke all records in India becoming the most retweeted tweet ever in the country.

In Visakhapatnam, BJPs Hari Babus landslide victory over YSRCPs Vijayamma led to a flood of tweets on Twitter. @vamsikaka tweeted: Massive respect to the people of #Vizag . You people are awesome. Our city is in safe hands now. #BJP #TDP.

Visakhapatnam had recorded a 70.57 per cent voter turnout in the General Elections to the Lok Sabha and State Assembly. @JitendraEmmani wrote: Thanks to my friends of Vizag. Our city will remain as the City of Destiny Great Job!

Interestingly, many tweets that poured in from different parts of the region were from the youth who remarked that this was, finally, a celebration of democracy and a successful completion of the largest election in history.

@SScharanalways tweets: At the right time...at the right moment...#Vizag people came to know the importance of their vote.

Vivek Rathod wrote on Facebook: There is no Modi Wave. It is actually Modi Tsunami!

@renachowraju tweeted: Vizag, take a bow! You voted silently but strongly...Finally we have a local MP....Way to go.

Summing up the mood and thoughts of the millions of voters of India, another tweet read: Whoever wins, (I) am hoping for a corruption free India, a stable economy, a safe country, less unemployment. I am happy (to be) 2b a part of #Raceto272.

And cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) tweeted: What is the thought on Chandrababu Naidu? Can he create a vibrant Seemandhra? Cheyyacha? The days to come will give a clear picture.

Instagram Likes Will No Longer Be (Embarrassingly) Shared to Facebook

Heres an example of how a single social networking action can produce drastically different results on two different social networks.

Imagine youre scrolling through your Instagram feed and you come across a photo of your friend on the beach. Aw, she deserves a beach vacation, shes been working so hard lately! So, you double tap and like her photo on Instagram. Your like is lost in a sea of other likes.

Well, lets say you had cross-posting to Facebook turned on for all your Instagram activity. Now, all of your Facebook friends and lets face it, mostly acquaintances and even less, have a fresh, singular story in their news feeds about how you liked a photo of a tanned, buxom woman in a bikini.

Awkward? No, and yes, depending on the network involved.

This scenario, while common Im sure over the past couple of years, will never happen again. Instagrams new app update kills this link between Instagram activity and automatically sharing to Facebook.

Updated Facebook share settings: Continue sharing your Instagram photos and videos on Facebook. But Instagram likes and activity will no longer be shared on Facebook, say the latest app update notes.

So, your Facebook friends will no longer get the news that you just followed CaliHOTbutts69 on Instagram.

But youll still be able to share your Instagram photos directly to Facebook, if youre so inclined.

At first glance, it appears that Facebook (who owns Instagram) is doing something odd by removing a layer of seamless sharing, which is basically free (cross) promotion. But lets face itnobody really liked their likes and other random Instagram activity being directly ported to Facebook. Its a dumb feature. Now, Instagram users are free to like as many photos as they please without the fear of looking like a weirdo stalker on Facebook. Sure, you couldve turned off this feature manually, but judging by my Facebook feed, there were more than a few Instagram users who had no idea that their totally appropriate Instagram likes were popping up on the much less-appropriate Facebook news feed.

Moorpark man indicted on allegations involving child porn

A Moorpark man was indicted this week for allegedly using social networking websites to create fake profiles to allegedly trick, threaten and extort teens in Ventura County and other areas.

Jeremy Brendan Sears, 23, was indicted by a grand jury Wednesday on 18 felony counts, including of eight counts of producing child pornography, four counts of distributing child porn, five counts of receiving child porn and one count of possessing child porn.

According to a 26-page grand jury indictment, Sears allegedly engaged in the activities in his Moorpark home on his computer. The Ventura Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement Task Force made up of agents and officers with the FBI and Ventura County Sheriffs Office arrested Sears on April 30. Sears is scheduled to appear at the United States District Court in Los Angeles for his arraignment on May 20.

Child pornography charges carry a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in federal prison and a statutory maximum penalty of 30 years, U.S. Attorneys Office officials said.

Sears allegedly used social networking websites popular with teens, and targeted fans of musical acts such as Justin Bieber and One Direction, according to the indictment. It added that he made fake profiles under the names such as Tommy Wiseau, Louis Tompkins, Rachel Lily and Sammi Summers to trick teens into believing the profiles were genuine and belonged to a teenager roughly the same age and of the opposite sex.

The indictment filed this week involves three victims with alleged incidents occurring around December 2012 to August 15, 2013.

According to a 110-page complaint filed on April 29, Sears allegedly harassed teens and children as young as 12 years old by trolling online forums such as Facebook, Meetme.com and other social networking sites and hijacked teens accounts by gaining administrative control over the minors personal pages.

Sears allegedly befriended minors and convinced them they were in a romantic online relationship with Sears fake profile, the indictment added. Sears allegedly asked the minors to engage in sexually explicit conduct and transmit pictures and/or video.

To aid in this activity, defendant Sears kept on his own computer and electronic storage devices a collection of nude and sexually explicit photographs and videos of apparently teenage girls, according to the indictment.

Sears also allegedly had the assistance of members from an online group known as the Bieber Trolling and Hijacking Company or The Confederacy, who aided in harassing minors by posting obscene accusations on revenge porn websites.
