Facebook After Death: Who Owns Your Pages When You Die?
Most people can #39;t live without Facebook -- but what happens to your Facebook page when you are no longer living? New Hampshire and other states are trying to figure that out. State Rep. Peter Sullivan has introduced legislation to allow the executor of an estate control over the social networking pages of the dead. Last week, the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted 222-128 to give Sullivan more time to write an amendment that begins a study of the issue. The bill proposed by Sullivan, a Democrat from Manchester, would allow control of someone #39;s Facebook, Twitter, and other accounts such as Gmail to be passed to the executor of their estate after death. According to Sullivan, passage of his bill would bridge a gap in policies of social media sites regarding posthumous users. He said his bill would protect residents who have suffered loss. "This would give the families a sense of closure, a sense of peace. It would help prevent this form of bullying that continues even after someone dies and nobody is really harmed by it."

REVERIE is a revolution in online social networking. It is a safe, collaborative, online environment which brings together realistic inter #8208;personal communication and interaction with 3D media creation. Users can meet, socialize and share experiences using equipment they already have at home -- such as 3D TV and Microsoft 3D Kinect -- along with a range of content creation tools built for the platform. The possibilities are endless -- take your Geography class on a field trip; make an important presentation; attend a distance learning class; play the lead character in your favorite film -- then invite your friends to join you using their existing social networking channels. The research challenges are demanding. The focus is the integration of cutting #8208;edge technologies related to 3D data acquisition processing, sound processing, autonomous avatars, networking, real #8208;time rendering, and physical interaction emotional engagement in virtual worlds. These challenges are combined into two scenarios that will be used as the basis for technical integration, and which will demonstrate the validity and potential socio #8208;economic benefits of REVERIE #39;s vision for the future of social networking. The work plan for REVERIE has been divided into 3 streams designed to support each other. First, it will go beyond the current state #8208;of #8208;the #8208;art by adapting the latest 3D content creation software to create new tools. Second, to ensure the system is efficient, stable, and meets its objectives ...

Alam Ara Janbaaz recount horror.
Women activists have not been targeted in the Kashmir Valley for the first time. A veteran singer and daughter of renowned poet, Alam Ara Janbaaz, had to flee from Kisthwar in 2004 because of threats from radicals. She has now voiced her support for the all girls rock which has decided to quit in the wake a fatwa issued against them by a grand mufti terming singing as un-islamic, a remark that came under all round attack. Support has been pouring in from all corners on social networking sites for the first all-girls rock band of Kashmir after they received abusive and hate messages on their Facebook page for defying convention by choosing the field of music.

Clyde & Co and Eversheds have both launched sector-focused social networking programmes aimed at increasing business development activities, particularly among the firms associates.
Eversheds
The firms have separately hired social media consultancy eSocialMedia to advise them on how best to raise the profile of specific practices and sector groups.
Clydes began working with the consultancy last November, with London marine and energy insurance team head Nigel Chapman taking the lead on the project internally for the firm.
I cant say weve won work off the back of it yet, but it hasnt cost a lot either, confirmed Chapman. Im a bit of an old dinosaur so its a bit of a joke that Im the one thats leading it. Initially one of my concerns was that it might end up taking a lot of time away from associates but theyve really taken to it. Its easy enough for partners to get profile but much harder for associates. And whats really important is to make sure your young people are connecting with your clients young people. Hopefully thatll create relationships that will last for years.
eSocialMedia is understood to have charged 15,000 for its advice to Chapmans team. If Clydes decides to roll out the project across other departments that fee may increase in line with take up.
Chapman said the social media push was effectively a continuation of business development activities the firm was already doing.
We like to talk to clients and listen to their concerns and what theyre concentrating on so we can understand their business better, added Chapman. Social media enables us to have those conversations in potentially a more effective way. Whats changed is that we can reach so many more people via things like Twitter. Also we havent done this before in a sector-oriented way thats whats different. We do have a firmwide Twitter feed but that puts news out about Clyde & Co. So this was a new approach.
Eversheds project is understood to be targeted at the clean energy sector. The firm, which last week announced a redundancy consultation putting 166 jobs at risk (24 January 2013), declined to comment.
