New things are always happening here at Twitter HQ. We’re growing at a rapid pace, and our commitment to simplicity, transparency, and reaching every person on the planet continues. We thought you might be interested in knowing about some of our most recent developments:

• A new weekly email that delivers the most interesting news and items you might have missed from the people you’re connected to on Twitter.
• Now Twitter is in more languages than ever. Check for your preferred language and change your setting.
• Download the latest Twitter mobile apps at twitter.com/download.
• There’s more to Discover on Twitter.com – try out the new Discover tab.

In addition, we’ve made a number of updates to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Here are some of the main changes to our Privacy Policy, with links for more information:

• We’ve provided more details about the information we collect and how we use it to deliver our services and to improve Twitter. One example: our new tailored suggestions feature, which is based on your recent visits to websites that integrate Twitter buttons or widgets, is an experiment that we’re beginning to roll out to some users in a number of countries. Learn more here.
• We’ve noted the many ways you can set your preferences to limit, modify or remove the information we collect. For example, we now support the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting, which stops the collection of information used for tailored suggestions.
• We’ve clarified the limited circumstances in which your information may be shared with others (for example, when you’ve given us permission to do so, or when the data itself is not private or personal). Importantly, our privacy policy is not intended to limit your rights to object to a third party’s request for your information.

In our Terms of Service, we’ve clarified how your relationship with Twitter works and made a number of small changes and formatting improvements, such as new headings for easy reference and updated descriptions of our services.

Take a moment to read our new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, and thanks for using Twitter.

Three external libraries included in WordPress received security updates:

• Plupload (version 1.5.4), which WordPress uses for uploading media.
• SWFUpload, which WordPress previously used for uploading media, and may still be in use by plugins.
• SWFObject, which WordPress previously used to embed Flash content, and may still be in use by plugins and themes.

WordPress 3.3.2 also addresses:

• Limited privilege escalation where a site administrator could deactivate network-wide plugins when running a WordPress network under particular circumstances, disclosed by Jon Cave of our WordPress core security team, and Adam Backstrom.
• Cross-site scripting vulnerability when making URLs clickable, by Jon Cave.
• Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in redirects after posting comments in older browsers, and when filtering URLs. Thanks to Mauro Gentile for responsibly disclosing these issues to the security team.

These issues were fixed by the WordPress core security team. Five other bugs were also fixed in version 3.3.2. Consult the change log for more details.

Download WordPress 3.3.2 or update now from the Dashboard → Updates menu in your site’s admin area.

To solve this issue,  Google around for fix. But, none posted about the issue & few guys posted questions on Google Forum for solution.

Finally i came to conclusion that,   we can’t add author information in search results for the author’s blog which was configured in Google+.  It mean, Contributors Domain name & Author website should not be same. 

Suggestion:  Exact problem was Contributors Domain name & Author Domain name should not be same.  Here,  you can configure your sub-directory links as Contributors Domain. As like what i did [refer below screen shots],

As per Facebook terms, once username set for pages/profiles. It cannot be changed. That’s the FB policy. But, if i enter into Edit Page-> Resources Tab-> username.  It’s asking me to enter desired username.  Actually, username for the pages are already set.  I tried for few of my pages, am getting option to rename it. Is this feature available now?

If you feel, it’s a bug, try fix it.

[I faced this issue on 8:26 PM 3/26/2012].

Wrote on Facebook Issues Page .

[Warning: I did't change the names for any of pages using above points. Please careful while testing/changing. Once Facebook identified as bug, it may fix anytime. & possible to rollback, block etc., So, Please beware.]

OK! How to put in online mode? It’s very simple. Follow the simple instruction below,

1. Click on WAMP Server icon near time [at bottom right of your screen]
2. Click on Put Online option. That’s all. If server is in online mode, it uses your IP address & if it’s in offline mode, it uses localhost. To make Offline, once again click on the same icon.

That’s it. Happy Programming.

+Ve Points:

8. Profile picture should not exceed 180px’s
9. Can create milestones automatically. It’s more helpful to take to the previous posts easily especially the posts older than a year.
10. Share pages with friends options seems to be back again.
11. We can customize the images for your apps, but only able to highlight a few.
12. Option to merge duplicate pages of our company. But, for this we should be administrator for pages like to merge.

-Ve Points:

1. Default Landing Tab are removed.
2. Only 3 Custom Tabs can be shown default others tabs may hided.
3. Removed featured likes options display. but, i can see this option in control panel.
4. Recent posts by others are (sometimes) not featured.
5. If we don’t have regular updates, recent activity looks really bad.

We hope, Facebook will tune the page options with new ideas & concepts soon.

So far,  <?php the_post_thumbnail() ?> executes the complete image. But, most of them required to echo the only URL. Below code will echo the value of the URL of the image.

<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ) );?>

or

<?php
//Get the Thumbnail URL
$src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), array( 720,405 ), false, ” );
echo $src[0];
?>

“We don’t believe in censorship of any kind. All over the world, every company has to operate in accordance with the law. Any company wishing to operate in a country has to follow the laws of the land,” said Mr Chandra Shekhar. He said that their is a need to develop some mechanism to abide by the law.

Last week the government had given the go ahead for the prosecution of the executives of the top internet firms including Facebook, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft, for alleged offense of promoting enmity between classes and causing prejudice to national integration. The matter is still going on in the courts.

Advocate N.K. Kaul, appearing for Google India, had argued that “the issue relates to a constitutional issue of freedom of speech and expression and suppressing it was not possible as the right to freedom of speech in democratic India separates us from a totalitarian regime like China”.

However, the Delhi High Court judge Suresh Kait, hearing the case, had warned Google India and Facebook India that websites can be “blocked” like in China if they fail to devise a mechanism to check and remove objectionable material from their web pages.
