Scam atau Penipuan Terus Mengintai Pebisnis Online Dadakan

Sudah menjadi hal yang menggiurkan disaatkan sebuah bisnis itu bisa menghasilkan sesuatu yang cepat dan mudah. Klik, klik, dan klik, mungkin semudah itulah yang sering membuat orang memilih atau berbisnis online di internet. Tapi jauh sebelumnya itu, sesuatu yang instan juga penuh resiko dan bahaya. Penipuan, scam, phising, dan sejenisnya yang tentu merugikan orang lain pun menjadi incaran yang kini masih tetap menjamur di dunia maya. Dalam kasus ini, ketika mulai berjelajah dan bertemu salah satu situs bisnis dengan genre "survei" yang mengajak orang-orang untuk berbagi survei tersebut dan secara singkat semakin banyak diisi orang, tentu semakin banyak uang yang dijanjikan oleh si empunya situs untuk dicairkan ke bank target (calon pengguna/member situs tersebut, red).

Why 10% of Your Friends on Twitter and Facebook Will Be Nonhuman in Five Years

Image by Eneas via Flickr That's not to say we'll be tweeting with zombies or playing FarmVille with ET. Gartner predicts the coming of "social bots"-- automated tools used by brands and organizations to engage consumers. "Efforts to systematize and automate social engagement will result in the rise of social bots--automated software agents that can handle, to varying degrees, interaction with communities of users in a manner personalized to each individual," the report reads. Gartner says that bots will become so common that an estimated 10% of our friends may be nonhuman. According to AllFacebook, the average user could soon have as many as 500 friends online--which means around 50 of them will not actually exist if Gartner's estimate is correct.

Kuliah Gratis di Dunia Maya

Dahulu kala nenek moyang mencari wangsit dengan bertapa di goa, lalu pada masa modern orang mendapat pencerahan lewat buku bacaan. Kini, ketika teknologi informasi kian canggih, kita bisa memperolehnya dengan instan lewat jaringan sosial di dunia maya seperti Twitter. Demikian serentetan kiriman Goenawan Mohamad, penyair dan cendekiawan, di jaringan sosial maya Twitter selama dua hari, pertengahan Juli lalu. Pesan itu dikemas dalam pesan tak lebih dari 140 karakter. Saat disatukan, dengan jumlah total 109 kiriman, terbaca adanya gagasan utuh yang relevan untuk menanggapi situasi inteleransi di negeri ini. Catatan itu bisa kita tafsirkan lebih luas. Bukankah masyarakat di sini juga kerap melakukan kekerasan atau penghakiman atas nama Tuhan dan agama, sebagaimana di Perancis abad pertengahan itu? Padahal, segala perbedaan itu semestinya membuat hidup lebih dinamis dan indah. Harap diingat, catatan ini bukan ditulis di halaman buku atau disampaikan seorang dosen ruang ...

Amazon Digugat Soal Teknologi Kindle

Amazon.com, toko ritel online ternama yang menjual Kindle digugat oleh Discovery Communication terkait soal teknologi pada eBook tersebut. Amazon.com sejatinya bukanlah produsen Kindle, melainkan hanya mendistribusikannya. Namun Discovery Communications melayangkan gugatan hak paten kepada toko online multinasional itu. Discovery Communications menuduh Amazon.com melanggar dua paten miliknya, yakni meliputi delivery dan keamanan dalam Kindle. Perusahaan pemilik stasiun TV kabel edukasi Discovery Channel dan Animal Planet tersebut mendesak Amazon untuk membayar royalti kepada mereka karena telah menggunakan kedua paten tersebut. Dikutip detikINET dari Reuters, Jumat (16/7/2010), Discovery Communications rupanya sudah mempermasalahkan kedua hak paten ini pada 1999 dan 2007. Kini, gugatan Discovery Communications telah didaftarkan ke pengadilan wilayah Delaware, Amerika Serikat.

UK Facebook users get link to child safety program

A new application was launched on Facebook on Monday by a British child protection agency to allow young users to report worrying or inappropriate behavior to child protection authorities. The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center said their application — called "ClickCEOP" — gives children between ages 13 to 18 a place to report instances of inappropriate sexual behavior and other issues. The application isn't a so-called panic button, and doesn't connect users immediately to authorities, the organization said. Rather, the application appears as a tab at the top of a user's profile once it is added, and clicking it provides links to the organization's website where bullying, sexual behavior or other online problems can be researched and, if necessary, reported. An advertisement for the application will appear on the home pages of Facebook's British teenage users. It is aimed at kids in Britain, but spokeswoman Vicky Gilling...

Facebook ends Facebook Lite

Facebook has put a full stop to its "Lighter Cousin" a.k.a Facebook Lite. Facebook Lite, launched in September 2009 in India and United States was aimed at the users, who prefer to use only basic features of the main site, instead of the clutter one. Facebook Lite used to serve the users with the most trivial social networking features of Facebook, such as accepting friends' requests, updating profile status, post photos and videos, writing on friends' wall etc. With its simpler interface, the slimmed-down site was gradually gaining popularity among the users, only when the Facebook admin has decided its fate. The company has not offered any proper reason behind shutting down Lite. Facebook stated that, We're no longer supporting it, but learned a lot from the test of a slimmed-down site. If you used Lite, you'll now be taken to the main Facebook.com site.
