Along with the Geolocation feature that VPHO has planned for the next release version, VPHO is also planning to enhance the social networking experience for its users by introducing two new features.

(PRWEB) January 08, 2013

VPHO has announced two features that will also be included with the Geolocation feature: Call History and Contacts Friend List.

The geolocation features enables the user to broadcast his or her position to contacts. This feature is visible on the chat page under the contact name the user is chatting with.

Its a nice feature since most people love to broadcast about their whereabouts during special occasion. Take for examples, when a person is on holiday, he might want to share his whereabout to other people and share his holiday experience with his peers, explains Yuda Hadar.

The geolocation feature is a part of the realization that VPHO has promised for some time now and it will soon be available to users with the option to turn it on and off.

The other feature that will also be available to users is the Contacts Friend List. With this feature, a user can look at a contacts friend list and add his friend if he wishes.

We think that this feature is a great opportunity for a user to expand his social links and have large connection to other people, said Hadar.

This particular feature will be accessible when accessing a contacts profile. Of course, to see a contacts friend, the user has already sent an invitation to that particular contact and the contact has submitted approval to be added to that users contact list.

We keep looking for improvements to this application and we came up with some exciting ones. I hope our users keep on a high anticipation as we are far from over, said Hadar.

Social media: ignore at your own risk It has changed the way we promote national causes and do business. But you must be careful about a few things while using social networking sites Shantanu Bhattacharji / New Delhi Jan 08, 2013, 14:56 IST

Demonstrators shout slogans as they are surrounded by the police during an anti-rape protest rally in New Delhi. BS / File photo Politicians and other policy-makers cannotremain indifferent to the views being posted on social media websites. Social networking sites are versatile vehicles for articulating opinions of a society or its sections. Social scientists say it is a double-edged sword. The magic of 140 characters can make or mar your day. Even theek hai remarks of Prime Minister Manmohan Singhs December 24 speech went viral and invited peoples wrath.

From the Arab Spring to the Delhi anti-rape agitation, citizens of all nations are more empowered than ever before. Connected individuals has created vast audiences and toppled political establishments by communicating their message through social networks.

How social media shook India

Delhi anti-rape protests galvanised thousands of young Facebook- and Twitter-savvy youth last week. The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government appeared to be caught off guard by the outrage that started online and spilled into the streets over the December 16 rape of a 23-year-old woman, who died two weeks later. The other incidents that added fuel to social media fire are: Anna Hazares fast for Lokpal, mass exodus of north-eastern people from Karnataka and so on.

Social media: ignore at your own risk

Tremendous progress has been made in controlling the pandemic of hepatitis C virus. This virus, which affects about 180 million people globally and up to 5 million Americans, has been difficult to treat, using drugs with only modest potency and significant side effects resulting in cure rates of only about 50 percent.

However, two new drugs were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2011, and several additional agents are in late stages of clinical testing. Cure rates now are in the 65 percent to 85 percent range, depending on the stage of the disease and which strain of the virus is involved. And within the next few years, cure rates are expected to rise even more dramatically.

HCV has been called a silent killer, because the majority of infected individuals are unaware of their disease and have minimal symptoms. However, it is now recognized most infected people will develop chronic liver disease. The effects begin to show up decades after the initial infection; HCV is now the leading cause of end-stage liver disease (cirrhosis) and liver cancer.

Who is at risk for HCV, and who should be tested? HCV is a virus transmitted person to person by exchanging blood or blood-tainted body fluids. The virus is not transmitted casually, and you will not be infected by engaging in normal social activities with infected individuals. Before developing a test to check for HCV in 1992 for blood donors, approximately

10 percent of all units of blood were contaminated. So anyone who received a transfusion before then is potentially at risk.

The majority of new infections occur in people who engage in activities such as injectable drug use with needle sharing, getting a piercing or tattoo in any setting other than a licensed establishment that strictly follows health department regulations, intranasal cocaine use with sharing of straws or other paraphernalia, and sexual intercourse. Mother-to-child transmission also occurs occasionally.

Anyone who fits into the above categories is encouraged to be tested. Additionally, in 2012 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that anyone born between 1945 and 1965 be tested. These baby boomers account for about 2 million of those infected the vast majority of whom are unaware if they are infected.

There are important reasons to be tested. The first is to prevent transmission of the virus to others by modifying ones behavior. Secondly, because of dramatic therapeutic advances, the disease frequently can be cured, either with current drugs or with ones that will become available soon. There is no latent or dormant state. Once your physician tells you the virus is gone, it stays gone (unless you are exposed again). Finally, it has been shown that advanced liver disease will improve once the virus is eliminated.

We have significant optimism that we can get ahead of the HCV epidemic.

In conclusion, all baby boomers, anyone who received a transfusion of blood or blood products before 1992, anyone who has engaged in activities involving exposure to the blood of other individuals, or anyone who has been sexually active with several partners may harbor hepatitis C.
