This App Knows More About Your Facebook Account Than You Do

Nearly 50% of my Facebook friends are Single, which adds up to 123 people total. Meanwhile, 20.1% or 51 of my friends are in a relationship.

All this information I now know thanks to a new “Facebook Report” by Wolfram Alpha, which will gift you with more knowledge than you could possibly ever want to know about yourself and your Facebook profile.

You can access your data by going to Wolfram Alpha’s site and typing “Facebook report” into the search box. Results will ask you to authenticate the app, giving it permission to analyze your account and tell you details.

For instance, I now know I’m Facebook friends with 10 Davids, making that name the most popular on my friends list. Chris comes in second place with a total of 8 making their way onto my list of friends.

I have the most friends in common -–151 -– with my friend Benton, someone I’ve know since middle school. My oldest friend is a 74-year-old professor from college. My youngest is a 22-year-old I babysat when she was just a few years old.

“Wolfram Alpha knows about all kinds of knowledge domains; now it can know about you, and apply its powers of analysis to give you all sorts of personal analytics, “ Stephen Wolfram said in a post on the company blog. “And this is just the beginning; over the months to come, particularly as we see about how people use this, we’ll be adding more and more capabilities.”

In addition to those random trivia facts, the app also gives you a highly detailed breakdown of your most liked and commented on photos, what apps you use most often to upload pictures to the service and when, and even what your average post length is — mine is 9.47 words or 58.59 characters.

The app even gives you a detailed breakdown of you and where you’re from.“It’s quite fascinating—and sometimes revealing—looking at the personal analytics reports for oneself and one’s friends. I think I could spend ages doing it. And coming back at different times to see what’s changed, Wolfram added.

“I’ve no doubt that one day pretty much everyone will routinely be doing all sorts of personal analytics on a mountain of data that they collect about themselves,” Wolfram says. “But it’s exciting today to be able to start that off with Wolfram Alpha Personal Analytics for Facebook. I hope people have fun with it! And perhaps it will also inspire some young Facebook users to become data scientists.”

Facebook tests Photo Sync feature on Android

Automatic photo uploads are a feature missing from the core of most mobile operating systems, but Android has often provided the functionality for app developers to push images to services the minute they are taken. Facebook knows this and has enabled such a feature in its official Android client, testing it with limited set of device owners.

The Verge reports that Facebook’s new Photo Sync feature operates similarly to how the Google+ Android app pushes photos to Google Photos (or Picasa) storage, but uploads will reside in a “Synced from Phone” folder inside Facebook’s Photos page, waiting for you to take appropriate action.

If you were worried you’d be sharing some of those more private photos without knowing, Facebook has you covered.

Facebook appears to be leaning on both Google and Dropbox for inspiration behind its new feature, but as with many of its website features, it is first pushed to a limited subset of users before the company decides whether to roll it out in a future app update.

Facebook also has a small help page on the Photo Sync feature, explaining how it works and hosting a small FAQ to ease worries of those who have access the new sync feature and are worried about using it.

Facebook making efforts to remove fake profiles

Social networking giant Facebook is making a "huge effort" to weed out fake profiles to prevent misuse of such identities, a senior company official has said.

"Absolutely, there is a huge effort," Facebook India business manager Pavan Varma told PTI when asked about the company's action on this front.

If Facebook doubts the ownership of an account, it will ask the user to identify himself/herself, he said.

The doubt about the authenticity of the account will arise if an account has a generic name instead of a proper name, uses images of celebrities/ cartoon characters as display pictures, or does not have "enough friends", Varma said.

"It could even be that Facebook comes back to you saying, could you help us identify yourself if you don't have enough friends, because we don't want fake identities," he said.

"We are worried about the experience we deliver...It's not about protecting our brand identity so much," he said.

Recently, there were reports of fake accounts being created by computer programs, which are used for inflating the number of "likes" on Facebook page for a brand.

Facebook had recently said it would be taking out fake "likes" generated by spammers, malware and black marketers.

Varma said advertisers must also shed the obsession with numbers. "How does an advertiser today treat a Facebook page? It is treated as a place where they just come with a number of people who are there. But that is a wrong way of doing it," he said, stressing that the conversations around the brand should assume importance rather than the numbers.

Mere "likes" on the page do not help a brand, he said.

Companies generally pay Facebook for a dedicated page on its platform that helps them connect with the target audience.

Varma, who was speaking to PTI on the sidelines of a banking summit, said Facebook, as a medium, is completely secure and cited the case of ICICI Bank, which now offers basic services over the Facebook page by integrating its net banking platform with the social networking site.

He added that IDBI Bank claims it has over five lakh fans on Facebook.
