TeleDNA comes out with new social networking platform

TeleDNA has come out with its latest innovation in the social networking platform, which is called SocialI'.

"The platform offers an Intra Operator Social Community Model which allows an Operator to bring about competitive differentiation, tap a higher share of social network pie, and collect more useful info on customers. Further, the platform also offers the ability to integrate other mobile VAS on the social platform, thereby differentiating from web based social services," according to report.

"The main objective is to build a community of engaged users by offering them best of social experience through a single sign on across devices, profile creation, adding friends, creating groups, public chat rooms, private chat, group chat, blogs, photo sharing, video sharing, polls, content upload, news feed, RSS feed, import contacts from other social sites, spam control, ad insertion, web sms, campaign manager, user provisioning, billing and complete data reporting," it siad.

"The platform brings other benefits too, such as M-Coupons which are generated by the system to provide discounts on certain identified services or the content on the platform. It can contribute in generating revenues from advertisements as the platform has been designed in a way that it creates a brand value to attract advertisements, a statement said.

In addition, given the fact that almost 1.5 billion people are using their mobiles to access social media sites and this expected to reach 2.55 billion by 2017, also 63 per cent women check brands more often than men on social pages, the TeleDNA platform promises to be a value addition. Since 27 per cent of online time is on social pages and 93 per cent of marketers use social media for business, the SocialI' promises to be of significant advantage.

Are social media posts admissible in evidence?

Social networking has become part of our daily life with 93 percent of Filipino Internet users having their own Facebook account.

On the whole, this is an excellent social phenomenon. But there is also a bad part of it.

Consider, for example, a Facebook post by Mr. Y that reads: Senator X is a crook. He stole millions of taxpayers money from the PDAF. He is a certified thief. He deserves all the public humiliation that he is now getting.

This kind of comment is definitely libelous. It may be the basis for a civil case for damages and a criminal case for libel.

The post, in turn, is admissible in evidence not only in a civil case but also in a criminal case. (SC En Banc Resolution dated September 24, 2002 in AM No. 01-07-01)

The Facebook post in question is considered a document pursuant to the functional equivalence and non-discrimination principles under the E-Commerce Act of 2000 (ECA) and the Rules on Electronic Evidence (REE), which the Supreme Court promulgated in 2001 to implement the ECA in our courts of law.

Under these principles, an electronic document is considered the functional equivalent of a paper-based document and should not be discriminated against as evidence solely on the ground that it is not in the standard paper form.

In fact, Section 12 of the ECA expressly provides that nothing in the application of the rules of evidence shall deny admissibility of an electronic data message or electronic document on the sole ground that it is in electronic form, or on the ground that it is not the standard form.

The REE further provides that [w]henever a rule of evidence refers to the term of writing, document, record, instrument, memorandum or any other form of writing, such term shall be deemed to include an electronic document as defined in these Rules. (Section 1, Rule 3)

In laymans terms, the Facebook post in question should be treated as a paper-based document. The legal question is how to prove or authenticate this Facebook post as evidence in a court of law.

Best iPhone social networking apps of all time

Best iPhone social networking apps of all time

April 29, 2014 by Phil Hornshaw

Connect to the world through the Internet with this group of 10 awesome social networking apps. These selections bring you closer to friends, family and people all around the world.

With a simple aesthetic and tons of useful features, Tweetbot is one of the best Twitter clients on the iTunes App Store. It brings users all the capabilities they expect from Twitter: your timelines and lists, the ability to quickly post updates and links or images and videos from your device's Camera Roll. You can access multiple Twitter accounts as well, and keep track of all that's trending in the world.

No social networking list could be complete without Facebook, as the app is basically the mobile version of the uber-populous website. The app brings users access to their friends lists and updates, with the ability to look at photos, post statuses and share links, as well as just about anything else. You can do almost everything in the app as you can on Facebook's website, and there's no reason not to keep the social network handy in your pocket.

Another of Facebook's apps, Paper gives users a scaled-back version of its main app by focusing just on the News Feed. You get an elegant interface that brings you all of your friends' updates, shared photos and videos, and comments, and the app allows you to post your own. But it filters out everything else in Facebook you might not need, like birthdays, profiles and group pages and the like. Use Paper just for keeping up with your Facebook friends in the easiest and most visually interesting way possible.

Managing multiple social network feeds can be a pain, but not if youve got HootSuite. The app lets you tie in your networks from Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and more, and is great if youve got more than one account, multiple pages or other social networking needs. You can quickly see all your feeds and send messages to all of them (or the same message to multiple accounts), as well as set up scheduled updates.

Twitter got its start with super-short status updates and brings that same idea of tiny posts to video with Vine. All Vine's videos are six seconds of less, and users can create and edit their own vines to post to the app or Twitter. Vine is a social network by itself, though, allowing you to search for other users, follow them, and view, like and comment in their videos.

Foursquare is all about telling people where you are and what you're doing. It lets you "check in" at various locations, posting a status update that comes with a note about where you are. You can use Foursquare to find out where your friends are hanging out and to meet up with them, or leave ratings and review of the best things about a place or business. You can even unlock badges and discounts at the places you frequent.

Imagine having a bulletin board filled with pictures, magazine clippings and other things you like. That's Pinterest, only the bulletin board is online and can be seen by other people. You can add stuff from all over the internet to your boards within the service, and the app lets you add to your own board or view those of other users. You can leave comments on their pins and follow them to get updates when they add cool stuff, as well.
