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.”

International Consumer Electronics(CES) trade show 2015 - Las Vegas

The International Consumer Electronics Show has been started in Las Vegas yesterday, which will be held from 6 to 9 January, Which give technology related companies an opportunity to familiarize their latest gadgets including 4K resolution TVs, and might be a curved smartphone and Toyota’s latest venture into hydrogen-power.

“It seems that every year there’s a central theme to the technology introduced and a lot of those have just whiffed,” said Jordan Selburn, an analyst for market researcher  at IHS Inc.(IHS Inc. (IHS) is a company based in Douglas County, Colorado, United States. IHS provides information, expertise and analysis to support the decision-making)

One item excited the show was LG’s G Flex 2 – the South Korean company’s most awaited second curved Android smartphone. It has a very powerful processor to the original LG's G Flex smart phone. Gone are those days where earlier model’s big screen – replaced by a more user handable 5.5 inches display with 1080p resolution. The curve is also less pronounced and used as flex – which the company hopes to make it easier to hold in a single hand, and the casing is very hard plastic, which we hope will be more scratch resistant than before.

Dana Wolman, the managing editor of Engadget,concluded that “LG is just the latest company to announce a curved gadget. In this case it’s the LG Flex 2, a curved smartphone. But it’s only the latest curved gadget we’ve seen. Samsung came out with a curved all-in-one computer for the home and so far there are already curved TVs, curved monitors, curved smart phones, curved sound bars. Really, these companies are trying to make curved happen whether you are interested or not.”

Japanese giant, Panasonic breaks the suspense, with CX850 series of 4K LED LCD Ultra HD smart TVs. The company said that it displays more vibrant colours and higher purity blacks. The CX850 series supports 4K ultra HD streaming.

Toyota's 'Mirai 'Fuel Cell Sedan

Toyota’s new sporty, hydrogen-powered ‘Mirai’ was also displayed at the expo. The electricity that powers the motors is made on-board as needed simply bycombining hydrogen with oxygen, No emissions are produced other than water vapour making it an eco-friendly car.

How To Write An Article and Blog Writing when starting your own Blog

So for my article today, I am going to talk about the dos and don'ts of writing an article. For those who are very much interested in writing, this hopefully will give you some things to think about. For those of you who have no interest in writing, you can consider this a behind-the-scenes article. I plan to share some of my tricks along the way.

Let's get started:

#1: Pick a Good Title :

 Let's start at the very beginning. Your article should have a title. The title has basically  one job. That job is to convince people to read your article. Your article can be awesome  but if no one reads it, it won't matter.

 An article's title should try to describe what the article is about. The important thing is  for the first few words to be as understandable as possible, filled with keywords that are  important. This will allow users to recognize what the article is about and click  confidently

Does it explain what you article is about?

 For good or for bad, the thing the audience gets when figuring out whether or not to click on your article is your title. Most of the click-throughs depend on the title grabbing the audience. So not only does it have to be descriptive, something about it has to be catchy

Is your title unique?

You need to craft an impression that is uniquely your own idea. This is especially true of your titles. One of the signs that you've gotten good at titles is that readers can start identifying them as your titles

In addition, a title should follow these guidelines:

• Title length : Google's search results page will display up to 70 characters. 
• Your title can be longer than this if necessary but make sure your important keywords are in the first 70 characters.
• Try to vary the way you name the articles
• Don't use the same verbs or phrases in every title.
• Try to not use “-ing” words.                                                                                      

#2: Products and Topics :

• Occasionally we write "How To Contribute" articles (like this one) or something in one of the other categories.                                                                                  
• Articles are also "relevant to" at least one product. They also belong in one main "Topic" and, optionally, a "sub-topic".                                                                     

The role of a writer is to service the readers :

If they aren't going to be interested in what you're going to say, let them know. It serves no one to force readers into something they are going to be unhappy with. Also, it helps form a trust between you and the readers. You create a transparency so the readers have incentive to return.

#3: Be Conscious of your Physical Presentation :

Some of writing is art and some is craft. This lesson is a craft one. One of the most important things you can do to make your writing approachable has nothing to do with the words, but rather with how you present them

The Role of a Writer :

To service the readers is the utmost importance of every writer. If they aren't going to be interested in what you're going to say, let them know. It serves no one to force readers into something they are going to be unhappy with. Also, it helps form a trust between you and the readers. You create a transparency so the readers have incentive to return.

Using humor and emotion (SURPRISE!) are some of the techniques we can use to engage people. These techniques, which I've listed below, all aim to get your brain to pay attention

#4: Make your writing engaging :

Conversational writing style :

         Use an informal, active style similar to the way you'd speak to someone in person    

Humor and emotion :

         Using humor is great but it's sometimes hard or impossible to localize. Emotions like surprise and "I didn't know that!" (not sure what to call that emotion) might be easier to include.

Multiple learning styles :

         Just like in school, people learn differently. Also, everyone benefits from seeing the same content expressed in multiple ways.

Repetition :

        When you explain something in a different way with different media, you're also, obviously, repeating it which is another good way to help people remember what's important.

Images and video : 

Using images and video to explain things along with text is not only the next best thing to being there to help in person, they are an easy way of including multiple learning styles and repetition

Activities :

        Especially in a tutorial, it's good to give people something useful to accomplish. It's one thing to read instructions and understand the process but it's often helpful to remind people to try things out.

Capitalize the following items:

• Proper nouns
• The first word of a complete sentence
• The letters of abbreviations and acronyms unless they are normally lowercase
• The first word in numbered or bulleted lists

 Stick To Your Topic :

Talk about that subject and only that subject. This might sound simplistic, but one of the biggest mistakes novice article writers have is a lack of focus. 

Good writers might make the words sound organic, as if they are thinking them up as you read them

For the sake of clarity, don't use i.e. and e.g.
