This is something we’ve been trying to get rid off since Facebook. Random, anonymous or mostly unwanted friends tag you in photos where you really don’t want to be tagged.

Google+ sorts out this issue with a very neat option in privacy settings and all thanks goes to circles in Google+.

Disable Photo Tagging in Google+ by People You Don’t Know

Follow the simple steps below to disable photo tagging by random people in Google+.

1. Click on the gear icon at top-tight and go to Google+ settings.

2. Scroll to the bottom and look for Photos.

3. Under “People whose tags of you are automatically approved to link to your Profile:”, you will see “Your circles” circle added in the list.

4. Remove that circle and customize/add friends/circles according to what you want. Leave the box blank if you want to completely disable photo tagging by anyone else on your photos.

One of the strongest points that Facebook has over Google Plus at the moment are the privacy settings and controls it offers its users. Google+ has a decent Privacy dashboard to tweak and set what  part of content you want to show to which Google+ circle, but again, it took years for Facebook to get this (kinda) right and Google+ will take time too.

You can go through the privacy options and set what part of your profile is to be visible to what people. You can completely hide everything, or set as you want. How to do that? Read below.

Echofon announced today they are working on a Windows-only Twitter client, Echofon for Windows. Echofon started out initially with a Firefox addon which was available on all platforms, thank to the browser Mozilla Firefox.

Twitter doesn’t have any official client for Windows, like Twitter for Mac – but Echofon seems to bring that to the Windows platform with more features. Echofon users on Windows had to go through the Firefox extension to tweet, but that won’t be the case anymore, thanks to Echofon for Windows.

No details have been revealed other than a “coming soon” website for the Echofon for Windows. I’m sure it would have the usual features like multiple account support, image uploads, previews etc.

Facebook has very annoying apps which tags friends in photos and shows up on your wall. You can of course completely disable tagging in photos/videos, but there should be another easier way to get rid of these photos.

Now you can “Remove post and untag…” yourself from a photo on Facebook. When you get tagged in a photo, you can remove yourself from it without having to open the photo itself.

How to “Remove Post and Untag” on Facebook

Just go to your profile, on the wall post where it shows the post in which you’re tagged, click on the X (right corner) of a photo tag post on your wall and there you will the option to “Remove Post and Untag…”

Pretty simple, eh? I recently discovered this to quickly remove my tag from unwanted photos that friends (or applications) tag in.

I actually like the new Facebook Profile Page, however, many people seem not to like it and want the old profile page back.

How to Get Back to Old Facebook Profile Page

Facebook has clearly mentioned in their Help docs that once you upgrade to the new Profile page, you cannot go back to the old layout. Well, a workaround can always be found from one way or another.

Some people have reported that if your deactivate your Facebook account for a short time, i.e 10 minutes, and then reactivate it again, you will get the old Facebook Profile Page back.

Facebook launched Social Messaging today in a special Facebook Mail event where they announced how they could merge emails, conversations, text messages and friends – all at one place which will be known as Facebook Social Messaging.

Even though Facebook said it is not like Google Wave, I still think Facebook Social Messaging is a combination of Google Wave, Gmail Priority Inbox and Facebook friends.

Facebook’s Social Messaging feature is currently in invite-only and you will have to wait till someone invites you to try out the new feature. Facebook will roll out this feature to everyone in the coming months “very slowly”.

How to Get Facebook Social Messaging Invitation

It’s pretty simple. Just drop in a request for an invitation at the Facebook website. You can get to the request page using the following URL.

It seemed to be a very nice feature, but it turned out to be an actual mess at the notifications end. Facebook Groups need some fine tuning of how and to whom notifications will be sent from the start.

I was added into a group of 25 members and the next morning I woke up, I had over 50 notification emails just from that group. That was something I never expected.

How to Disable Notification Emails from Facebook Groups

If you want to disable email notifications or tune them to selected group of members only, all you have to do is click on the Edit Notifications button in the top right of the group page and select your options from there.

This was one feature that was always missing from Facebook. And there was no proper service either to backup your Facebook account (SocialSafe did pop up a while ago).

When this feature rolls out, it will be very easy to download/export your information from Facebook. All you have to do is, go to Account (top right menu) > Account Settings > Download Your information. Select the option to download a .zip file which will have your entire Facebook profile, including photos, videos, wall posts, messages, friends, notes and a lot more.

Currently, there is no option to restore or import this data back into Facebook, but I’m sure that feature will be coming out soon once the “Download Your Information” is rolled out for everyone on Facebook.

Places is all about location services and how Facebook users can utilize it. Facebook Places allows you to check-in places just like you do with Foursquare.

Foursquare, Gowalla and Yelp are the launch partners of Facebook Places which will use the new API of Facebook Places and you check-ins will show up at the Places page on Facebook. Places lets you easily share where you are, what you’re doing and the friends you’re with right from your mobile.

• Check in and your update will appear on the Place page, your friends’ News Feed and your Wall.
• Tag the friends you’re with so they can be part of your update.
• Appear in “Here Now” to friends and others nearby who are also checked in.
• Browse status updates of friends checked in nearby.
• After checking in, tap “Here Now” to see who else is checked in where you are.

One thing to remember here is, you have to use Facebook Places to allow your friend to tag you and check-in places when you’re with him. If you’re already using Places, it’s like you checked in yourself without having to do a thing. If you’re not using Places yet, it’s just like being mentioned in a status update.

Facebook Places is now available on Facebook for iPhone 3.2 app which just got updated with the launch of Places. Facebook for Android and BlackBerry will get this feature soon.

Places will soon go live on http://www.facebook.com/places.

According to documents acquired by mashable, this service is in the pipeline and may be in active usage by as early as tomorrow, which is August 12, 2010. There is a problem however with this early launch: the service may not be available to the entire Twitter subscriber base and may be only a few test accounts get the chance to use the service and then subsequently the service would be expanded.

The official tweet button comes in at three different sizes measuring in at 10 x 20, 55 x 20, and 55 x 63. It also features the Twitter bird alongside the button. The twitter button will make other add-ons pretty useless once it arrives since it will be the best and most optimal piece of utility to use. The creation of an official Twitter button follows similar decisions by Twitter taken in the past where they have presented their own solutions thereby curbing third party Twitter app developers like Atebits for its Tweetie mobile apps or Cloudhopper for its SMS programs in the past.

Let’s see how the service runs when Twitter officially ups it in the very near future.

In the last update, Facebook added Inbox support to the app, but the latest Facebook for Android 1.3 is a much-needed update we all wanted from the ugly UI it had.

Taken from the official Facebook for Android page:

The latest version of Facebook for Android is now available! The app has a number of notable new features, including: video playback, the ability to view and RSVP for events, respond to friend requests without leaving the app, and an updated home page. The new home page has a draggable notifications drawer, a photo reel for easy viewing of your friends’ photos and videos, and the ability to post a status update or search for friends with just one click.

Droid users seem to be having some kind of trouble getting the the new Facebook for Android 1.3 to run, but I’m sure it will be soon fixed with a new minor update.

For now, the new app is working fine on my Nexus One! A highly recommended upgrade! Get it now from the Android Market.

Just like my previous quick reviews and screenshots posts on Opera Mini 5, Fennec for Android and Skyfire 2.0 Android, I’m doing a similar one for the Twitter for Android app too!

Twitter for Android Review, Screenshots Tour

The bottom part you see with the Twitter bird and clouds in the screenshot below is actually an animated background, and offers quick access to the latest Trending Topics in Twitter.

It is a very fast, easy-to-use Twitter app with basic functionality and would be perfect for new and novice Twitter users who have recently bought an Android phone. For advance users, there are plenty of apps available in the Market which are currently better than the one offered by twitter officially. Check out our list of 25+ Android Twitter Apps!

As I said, it doesn’t have all the features, by that I mean is the traditional way of retweeting a tweet! The official app only offers you to retweet using the native retweet feature of Twitter.

Syncing your contacts with newly updated tweets and display pictures is something that would appeal to many – including me! Check out the screenshots below:

Twitter said they have developed a new set of framework which will improve Twitter experience. The new @anywhere feature does not work on the API already implemented by Twitter but works with simple javascripts. The owner of the side needs to add few links of javascript on his site to use this feature.

Some sites that will be testing out this new @anywhere feature include Amazon, AdAge, Bing, Citysearch, Digg, eBay, The Huffington Post, Meebo, MSNBC.com, The New York Times, Salesforce.com, Yahoo!, and YouTube.

Facebook Connect by Facebook also provide the same function so there is a big challenge for Twitter ahead as they have to compete with many big websites.

The launch date of this feature is not yet finalized by Twitter but it looks like they will be rolling out this new feature really soon.

Along with importing your contacts from sites like Gmail and Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail now allows you to connect with your Facebook friends and easily add their email addresses to your Yahoo! Contacts list.

This will make it easy to communicate and share with the people you care about – wherever you are in Yahoo!. So when you are on Yahoo! Sports and you want to email your old high school buddy that great article on the Winter Olympics, his email address is just a click away.

How to Import Facebook Contacts to Yahoo Mail

Just follow the steps below to import your Facebook contacts to Yahoo! Mail.

• Go to the Import Contacts landing page and select Facebook.

Now this feature could be useful for some, but for most of us, this is quite annoying and looks like spam for regular Buzz users who get comments on almost all of their posts.

1. Look for the post you want to disable comment notifications of.
2. In the top right of the post, click the arrow for more options
3. Select “Mute this post” to disable comment notifications.
   

You will not get email notifications of comments now.

Buzz has been a fail so far, but just for people who use Buzz to post updates, links or anything, you can now post via email.

How to Post by Email to Google Buzz

Post by Email for Google Buzz is useful for people who don’t own an Android device or an iPhone. You can send updates to your Google Buzz by email for your followers to see or comment on it.

Like Twitter and Facebook, Buzz also has a very cluttered web interface and it would be better if you use it with a clean and simple desktop client. You won’t have to open your Gmail just to update Buzz.

Google Buzz Desktop emulates the iPhone version of Google Buzz and brings it to your desktop to update from there with ease.

Google Buzz Desktop Client Features

• Updates every 2 minutes
• Emulates iPhone version of Buzz on desktop
• Works on any platform/browser.

Since the API doesn’t offer everything for Google Buzz, geolocation doesn’t work in the app.

In my experience with Facebook 1.0 app on HTC Hero, all it could do is check your news feed and comment or like feed items there. Or most you can do is open anyone’s profile information.

In the recently launched Motorola Droid, that runs on Android 2.0, it has been found that it comes with the latest Facebook 1.1 and someone has been kind enough to extract the .APK out of the Droid for the rest if us to try it on our Android 1.5 devices (HTC Hero, Droid Eris, Dream, Magic etc)

It’s now more like the iPhone version, but still doesn’t have support for private messages in Facebook.

Download Facebook 1.1 for Android

You can download it from the link given here: Download Facebook 1.1 for Android (Direct Mirror)

Update: Direct mirror added.

Many of you really hate the new Facebook design and find it very annoying as you don’t get to keep up with the happenings in your friends profiles. If that’s the case, I’d suggest you go for Facebook Lite as default.

How to Use Facebook Lite as Default

Follow the steps below to get a clean Facebook user interface using Facebook Lite as default.

1. Login to Facebook Lite and go to Settings (wrench tool beside search box).

2. From the Settings page, go to Default Site.

3. Choose Facebook Lite from the two options and click Save.

You should now see Facebook Lite as your default Facebook.com page.
