Google Launching Gmail Shelfie, Free Your Selfies

Sudah membuka halaman Gmail hari ini? dalam rangka April Mop Google juga buat kejutan bagi pengguna layanan email Gmail. Google memperkenalkan "Gmail Shelfie", kali ini "Shelfie" berarti "the SHareable sELFIE" dan masih berhubungan dengan "Selfie" alias foto narsis diri sendiri. Selain dalam rangka April Mop atau April Fools, hari ini tepat 1 April Gmail berulang tahun ke 10 yang memberikan gift bagi pengguna dalam bentuk fitur "Shelfie".

Fitur "Gmail Shelfie" ini masih berhubungan dengan fitur Gmail "Custom Themes" yang sudah dirilis sejak tahun 2012, pengguna dapat membuat background halaman email kita menggunakan gambar atau wallpaper yang kita inginkan. Silahkan buka alamat https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tm=1#settings/themes trus bisa pilih-pilih themes yang disukai. "Gmail Shelfie" dapat diatur di halaman tersebut dan gambarnya pun bisa diambil dari Top Trending Shelfie yang sedang hits di seluruh dunia. Dan bahkan hari ini di halaman Gmail di Google+ juga memposting Top Trending Shelfies.

Berikut postingan "Introducing Gmail Shelfie" di blog Google:

Today, April 1, Gmail hits the double digits. Over the last 10 years, you—our users—have been our biggest inspiration. You've sent us ideas for features you want, and told us what you like (and didn't like...). So while it may be our birthday, we want to say thank you to you with a gift that is, well, all about you.

When custom themes launched back in 2012, we urged you to find “your perfect image and make Gmail your own.” And you did. Many of you rushed to take photos of yourselves to upload as your Gmail custom theme, which you started referring to as selfies.

As you undoubtedly recall, this term quickly spread beyond email themes and has permeated our culture so thoroughly that the Oxford Dictionaries named it Word of the Year in 2013.

You all love setting selfies as your custom theme in Gmail, but you’ve told us there’s one major problem: there isn’t a way to share your selfie with others. As the pioneering platform for selfies, Gmail is committed to being at the forefront of innovation in the selfie space. And we think it's a tragedy that your handsome hair, luscious lashes and beautiful brows have been trapped in your own inbox. Until now, that is. Today, we’re proud to free your selfies by launching Gmail Shelfie, the SHareable sELFIE. 

Gmail Shelfie is built on the idea that you shouldn’t be selfish with your selfie. With just a few clicks, your mom, your aunt, or that girl you have a crush on can set your Shelfie as their Gmail theme so they can enjoy checking, reading, and writing emails while seeing your friendly face in the background.

Got an awesome selfie? Upgrade it to a Shelfie! Simply open or refresh Gmail on the desktop and share it with your friends. (Gmail Shelfie is rolling out over the next few hours.) If you're looking for inspiration, set your theme to Gmail's top trending Shelfies. You can also see who's currently trending on our Google+ page.

Spoiler alert: Word of the Year 2014 will be Shelfie... clearly.

New Google Feature: Customize And Switch Between Google Products

Google merilis fitur baru yang akan memudahkan pengguna layanan Google untuk me-manage produk-produk Google yang diikuti, menu yang berisi produk Google ini berada di layar kanan atas di samping menu notification. Fitur baru tersebut mulai dari berpindah antara produk/ layanan (Switch between products) dan customize menu bar yang berisi produk Google sehingga dapat diatur posisi produk dengan cara drag and drop.

Berikut tips tentang fitur baru layanan Google yang diambil "Support Google":

Switch between products 
To switch between Google products, click the App launcher icon and select the one you’d like to use. If you don’t see what you want in the menu, click More at the bottom of the menu to see additional Google products.

Customize your menu 
You can customize the App launcher to show your favorite products at the top. To put the products in the order in which you'd like them to appear, simply drag and drop them within the menu. If you’d like to add one you don’t see in the list, click More at the bottom of the menu to show additional Google products you can then drag to the top. 

You can also add Google products you use that don’t appear in the “More” section. Just go to the product you’d like to add and open the App launcher, and you’ll see a prompt to add it as an app.

Sign out, switch accounts, or manage account settings 
To sign out of your account, switch accounts, or manage your account settings, click your picture on the upper right hand side. If you see your email address at the top instead of a photo, click that. Note that signing out of your account from the Google bar means you’ll be signed out for all Google products. For example, if you signed out of Gmail, you’ll also be signed out of Calendar and Maps.

Search from the Google bar 
For some services like Gmail, the Google bar will include a search box you can use to search within that service. For example, in Gmail you can use this search box to find a specific email. 

Share to Google+ from the Google bar 
If you use Google+, you can easily share things with your circles by clicking Share from the Google bar. The icons at the bottom of the box can be used to add photos, videos, links, or events to your post.

Foursquare Day 2014 is Coming.. No 4sqDay Badge?

Sebentar lagi memasuki bulan April dan bagi pengguna layanan Foursquare selalu teringat dengan peringatan Foursquare Day setiap tanggal 16 April sejak tahun 2010 mulai dari meetup, swarming, unlock badge #4sqday sampai dengan bagi-bagi swag atau merchandise khas Foursquare Day.

Untuk tahun 2014 ini akan berbeda karena Foursquare saat ini berbeda dengan tahun lalu yang masih mengeluarkan badges untuk para pengguna-nya. Saat ini Foursquare lebih fokus dengan pengembangan aplikasi serta pengembangan bisnisnya terutama setelah mendapatkan pendanaan atau investasi dari raksasa komputer dan internet Microsoft sebanyak $15 million di awal tahun ini.


Badge Foursquare terbaru hanya terbit di Istambul Turki mulai dari badge Time Out Istambul, Voguette dan NTV Spor sedangkan badge Foursquare non partnership sudah ditinggalkan mulai dari badge New Year 2014 sampai badge-badge event sebagai contoh SXSW 2014 yang merupakan event bersejarah bagi Foursquare karena di tahun 2009 Foursquare mulai diperkenalkan dan sampai dengan SXSW tahun 2013 masih mengeluarkan puluhan badge-badge spesial SXSW.

Foursquare setelah mendapat pendanaan dari Microsoft memiliki kewajiban berkontribusi bagi platform lokasi untuk search engine milik Microsoft yaitu Bing serta mensupport platform lokasi untuk Windows 8 dan Windows Phone.

Kembali ke event Foursquare Day, untuk tahun 2014 ini belum tentu ada badge Foursquare Day atau 4sqDay seperti badge 4sqDay 2010, 4sqDay 2011, 4sqDay 2012 dan 4sqDay 2013 tetapi bagi yang tetap mau memiliki koleksi kaos bertema Foursquare Day 2014 silahkan menunggu postingan berikutnya lewat blog ini atau melalui Twitter @PC_holic dan @tamtomo2.

Kita tunggu saja informasi lanjutannya... Dan berikut badge-badge 4sqDay mulai 2010 sampai 2013..

Update: 
Kaos foursquare day 2014 tersedia dalam pilihan warna dan model, kaos dewasa - kaos anak dan kaos lengan panjang bisa diorder di http://bit.ly/kaos4sqday2014 untuk hoodie/ sweater bisa dipesan di http://bit.ly/hoodie4sqday2104

LinkedIn Updates Terms Of Service (Privacy Policy and User Agreement)

On March 26, 2014, the professional network "LinkedIn" published revised versions of their Privacy Policy and our User Agreement. If you're want to continued use LinkedIn service means you agree to these revised documents. LinkedIn posted the announcement on their blog on March 14 but the new LinkedIn’s Terms of Service effective as of March 26, 2014.

LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network with 250 million members in over 200 countries and territories around the globe. LinkedIn is publicly held and has a diversified business model with revenues coming from member subscriptions, advertising sales, and talent solutions.

Here are some other changes you’ll see in new LinkedIn's Terms of Service:

Updates to Our Privacy Policy

Member data. We’ve always had a high bar when it comes to responding to government requests for member data and that hasn’t changed. In Section 2.14, we clarify that we will take steps to let members know about demands for their data unless we’re legally prohibited from doing so or the request is deemed an emergency. We also specify that we may dispute such demands if we believe they are too broad, too vague, or lack proper authority.

Premium services. While it is not new that LinkedIn offers premium services that give our customers access to members’ profiles to generate career and business opportunities, we’ve rewritten Section 2.12 to clarify that our corporate offerings include Talent Solutions, Marketing Solutions and Sales Solutions.

Mobile numbers. As LinkedIn expands our services globally, we recognize that the mobile phone has become a ubiquitous communications tool. We’ve updated Section 1.2 to include the forthcoming option to use your mobile number to sign in to LinkedIn.

Update to Our User Agreement

Content Availability. LinkedIn has always operated within the laws and frameworks of the countries in which we operate. We recently launched a LinkedIn site in Simplified Chinese, and as we said at the time of our launch, we may be required by local regulations to remove certain content, which means this content may not be available on LinkedIn in China. While LinkedIn has always reserved the right to remove content (e.g. when it’s hurtful or infringing on others’ rights), we believe it’s important to be transparent that sometimes laws may require us to remove certain content, and we make that clear in Section 4.1.

Seperti kita ketahui pengguna Twitter sering sekali berdiskusi atau share tentang musik di timeline-nya terutama share musik yang sedang diperdengarkan dan dengan kerjasama Twitter dan Billboard akan ada update secara live di akun @TwitterMusic maupun @BillBoard serta situs BillBoard.com.

Selengkapnya tentang kerjasama Twitter dan Billboard bisa dibaca di cuplikan postingan BillBoard:

Billboard and social media platform Twitter today announced an exclusive, multi-year partnership to create Billboard Twitter Real-Time Charts. The charts, which will launch in the coming weeks, will track U.S. music conversations among the millions of Tweets sent each day. Combining the authority of the Billboard charts and Twitter’s public, real-time data, these powerful co-branded charts will reshape for consumers and the industry the way music success is measured.

As part of the initiative, Billboard and Twitter have signed a Twitter Amplify partnership, which will help distribute the chart beyond Billboard.com and include custom in-Tweet charts and in-Tweet video round ups of the week in music on Twitter

The charts will reflect the top tracks being discussed at the moment and over an extended period of time on Twitter, as well as surface the most talked about and shared songs by new and upcoming acts. The chart will live on Billboard.com and will also be shared through Billboard’s Twitter account, @billboard, multiple times a week. 

"Billboard has always been the standard by which music popularity is measured, and Twitter and its millions of users worldwide have added an entirely new dimension and pace to the way the marketplace interacts with, and evaluates, music and music-makers," said Janice Min, Co-President/Chief Creative Officer of the Entertainment Group of Guggenheim Media. "The Billboard Twitter Real-Time Charts, a natural extension for media brands so in sync in the music space, stands to once again dramatically shape the conversation around the content and the business."

"Twitter is where the music of the moment is discovered and discussed — every day, new songs and new artists are breaking on the platform,” said Bob Moczydlowsky, Twitter’s head of music. “We’re partnering with Billboard to create a ground-breaking chart to track the conversation around music as it happens. This means when artists share songs and engage with their audience on Twitter, the buzz they create will now be visible to fans, other musicians and industry decision makers in real-time."

The Billboard and Twitter partnership brings to fruition the first-ever real-time charts on the Billboard platforms and is a continuation of Billboard’s integration of new media music consumption in its chart rankings. From the unveiling of theSocial 50 artist chart in 2010, the expansion of song streaming data over the past few years, including Spotify and YouTube into the Hot 100, and the launch of streaming charts covering multiple genres, Billboard continues to be at the forefront in incorporating new technologies in its music rankings.

"Billboard is the number-one destination for vital industry news and analysis, and the place consumers around the world turn to for the best, and what's next, in music," says John Amato, Co-President of the Entertainment Group of Guggenheim Media. "This exciting Twitter partnership extends the Billboard value proposition that much further and deeper into the social media conversation that Twitter so effectively harnesses and drives. This will have tremendous impact on Billboard’s engagement with consumers and the marketplace."

"Billboard has extensive experience building charts that are trusted by both the music industry and consumers which made them the perfect partner for us," said Conway Chen, Director of Business Development at Twitter. "Twitter's data is unique in that it represents a comprehensive view of the world's conversation about anything and everything, including music. These charts will leverage our combined strengths to provide a reliable and unprecedented look into what music matters most to the public in any given moment."

The Billboard brand is built on over 200 exclusive charts - the measure of success in music - that are constantly updated to reflect the changing music landscape. Billboard’s charts, led by the world-recognized Hot 100 songs chart and Billboard 200 albums chart, as well as its content, are consumed and referenced by millions of people around the globe.

Twitter is a global platform for public self-expression and conversation in real time and is available in more than 35 languages and has more than 240 million monthly active users.

Facebook Aqcuire Oculus Virtual Reality Company $2 Billion

Facebook today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire Oculus VR, Inc., the leader in immersive virtual reality technology, for a total of approximately $2 billion. This includes $400 million in cash and 23.1 million shares of Facebook common stock (valued at $1.6 billion based on the average closing price of the 20 trading days preceding March 21, 2014 of $69.35 per share).  The agreement also provides for an additional $300 million earn-out in cash and stock based on the achievement of certain milestones.

Oculus is the leader in immersive virtual reality technology and has already built strong interest among developers, having received more than 75,000 orders for development kits for the company's virtual reality headset, the Oculus Rift. While the applications for virtual reality technology beyond gaming are in their nascent stages, several industries are already experimenting with the technology, and Facebook plans to extend Oculus' existing advantage in gaming to new verticals, including communications, media and entertainment, education and other areas.  Given these broad potential applications, virtual reality technology is a strong candidate to emerge as the next social and communications platform.

"Mobile is the platform of today, and now we're also getting ready for the platforms of tomorrow," said Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. "Oculus has the chance to create the most social platform ever, and change the way we work, play and communicate."

"We are excited to work with Mark and the Facebook team to deliver the very best virtual reality platform in the world," said Brendan Iribe, co-founder and CEO of Oculus VR. "We believe virtual reality will be heavily defined by social experiences that connect people in magical, new ways. It is a transformative and disruptive technology, that enables the world to experience the impossible, and it's only just the beginning."

Oculus will maintain its headquarters in Irvine, CA, and will continue development of the Oculus Rift, its ground-breaking virtual reality platform.

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014.

27 March 2014, Nokia X Android Phone Release Date In Indonesia

Setelah diperkenalkan di Malaysia dan India minggu lalu kini giliran Indonesia akan diperkenalkan seri smartphone baru Nokia dari keluarga Nokia X (aka Normandy) di akhir bulan Maret ini. Acara Media Launch Nokia bakal digelar tanggal 27 Maret 2014 ini di Jakarta yang akan memperkenalkan Nokia tipe X dan XL yang merupakan debut baru perangkat Nokia yang menggunakan OS Android dan bukan Windows Phone (meskipun tampilan OS ini dimiripkan dengan Windows Phone).

Sebenarnya ponsel Nokia keluarga X tersebut ada 3 tipe yakni X, X+ dan XL tetapi sepertinya hanya X dan XL saja atau hanya Nokia X saja yang akan diperkenalkan sesuai dengan situs Nokia Indonesia yang hanya menampilkan spesifikasi Nokia X dan Nokia XL.

Harga jual Nokia X masih dibanderol di bawah 2 juta, untuk negara Malaysia dipatok sekitar 1,4 juta sedangkan di India sekitar 1,6 juta dan untuk Indonesia kemungkinan sekitar 1,4-16 juta. Nokia X dan XL selain mengusung OS Windows Phone juga memiliki layar ukuran 4 inchi (Nokia X) dan ukuran 5 inchi (Nokia XL).

Untuk warna ponsel, sesuai dengan khas Nokia pada produk varian Lumia dan Asha, kali ini varian Nokia X juga tersedia 6 macam warna hitam, putih, cyan, hijau cerah, oranye dan kuning cerah. Nokia X, X+ dan XL bisa menggunakan 2 sim card (dual sim) dan kamera yang digunakan disesuaikan sesuai tipe-nya, untuk Nokia X dan X+ menggunakan 3MP dengan memori 4 GB, Nokia XL dibekali kamera 5 MP dan memori 4 GB.

Untuk prosesor ketiga tipe Nokia menggunakan  Qualcomm Snapdragon™ S4 dengan memori 512 GB RAM untuk tipe Nokia X dan memori 768 GB RAM untuk Nokia XL.

Karena Nokia X menggunakan OS Android otomatis aplikasi bisa diunduh dari Play Store (Nokia Store) tetapi untuk aplikasi peta menggunakan milik Nokia sendiri  Here Maps dan untuk musik dilengkapi dengan Nokia Mix Radio.
