Pakistan Gets Ready to Issue Death Warrant Against Zuckersberg And With Others Involved With The Page

Facebook has really upset the Muslim world with its “Draw Muhammad” page and this brought trouble for Mark Zuckersberg, the CEO and co-founder of Facebook.

A criminal proceeding against Mark Zuckersberg is in place and he is being investigated against for the highly controversial “Everybody Draw Muhammad” page. This proceeding is taking place in Pakistan which also happens to be one of the larger Muslim nations and has better connections with the west. Also involved in this proceeding are Facebook co-founders Chris Hughes and Dustin Moskovitz and Andy, a German who started the page.

A Facebook spokesperson has refused to comment on this calling the matter legal. These charges are being pressed against the 295-C of the Pakistan penal court which says,

Use of derogatory remark etc, in respect of the Holy Prophet, whoever by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representation, or by any imputation, innuendo, or insinuation, directly or indirectly, defiles the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) shall be punished with death, or imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable for fine.

Okay so most of the guy must be asking themselves right now that is this thing right or not well I say it is right 85%.According to Facebook policies they are against the people creating pages against racism and etc.And even Mark says that he had no sort of involvement in this project well what about the guy who made the page “Hitler IS My Friend” his page got quite quickly banned . But then again this is Mark Zuckersberg we are talking about who has a habit of getting into trouble but I might say this one is a little one big then others.

Fifa Is The Hottest Thing On THe Internet Right Now

As it turns out, the FIFA world cup 2010 has become the most popular web event in the history of the Internet. This event has turned the table in its favor and claimed this title beating president Obama’s Election Day victory. The official FIFA world cup website is now serving as many pageviews as Facebook . And when I say that these both share the same page views now that is saying something.

Though, that is just one source of the FIFA buzz. It is all over Twitter, Facebook and other social networks as well. This makes FIFA world cup the hottest and the most happening thing on the Internet. Univision, which is managing live streaming of the matches claims that at least a quarter million people are watching matches online in U.S. and Puerto Rico. This includes desktop and mobile viewers.

Twitter users who are football fans at the same time, bring down a river of tweets updating regularly on the match proceedings. Twitter is having a hard time managing rates of 3000 tweets per second and has surrendered announcing that users should be ready for occasional downtimes.

Amazing isn’t it what are your thoughts on it ?

Twitter’s First Trending Topics Appears As Advertisement For Toy Story 3

Twitter‘s new ad platform has been a little slow to roll out. Promoted Tweets are already in the system, but those popular trending topics have only today been penetrated by ads.

On Twitter’s homepage, the right-hand column that houses the trending topics now includes an eleventh in the list: Toy Story 3, branded with a prominent yellow button. Clicking the link brings up a search for “Toy Story 3,” and the top result is always a Promoted Tweet from Disney/Pixar.

There’s not much more to it. TechCrunch notes that the ad is not location-specific, though that could (and probably will) be implemented in the future. It’s a nice idea that the purchased trending topic falls at the bottom of the list, below the organic trends, and that big honking yellow button makes sure nobody is confused about the nature of that topic.

Of course, we’re left to wonder why Disney/Pixar chose Toy Story 3 to be first. It’s freaking Toy Story 3–it was going to be a trending topic anyway, right?

FaceBook Earned 800$ Million In 2009 Says A Report

Facebook’s revenue in 2009 was nearly $800 million, and the company turned a part of it into a solid net profit, according to Reuters.

The number is significantly higher than earlier estimates of $500 million revenue in 2009, and even the projected $710 million revenue in 2010. Facebook, as usual, declines to comment on any of these numbers, but we know that somewhere in 2009. Facebook became cash-flow positive.

“They are downplaying their performance. There’s no upside in getting people’s expectations high, it’s always better to go low,” said one of Reuters’ sources. It could be true: if Facebook is heading towards an IPO, it’s definitely better to be able to show big growth than to boast high numbers now, and end up unable to beat them after.

If these new estimates are true, this is great news for Facebook, which has been on the ugly side of a privacy-related scandal that ended up reaching the cover of Time Magazine and had Mark Zuckerberg, the site’s founder and CEO, apologizing for the company’s misdeeds. As long as the earnings and growth is strong – and according to the latest numbers from Compete, Facebook is still growing quite fast – Facebook will have time to tinker and experiment with privacy to find out how far it can go before causing a backlash.

Well the above report was obtained and gained by Mashable ,well if I tell you in simple and little words Facebook just made 800$ Million dollars last year and they are still growing quite quickly.In my personal opinion if Facebook gets that much huge traffic and if still they don’t earn that much well then that is something to think about isn’t it ?
