Facebook launches a new ‘Listen with Friends’ feature for social music listening

Facebook has rolled out a new feature that allows users to listen to music along with their friends.

The social networking site already has integration with music services like Spotify, that allows you to see  the tracks your friends are listening to, but now with the new feature, you can listen to the tracks played by friends and also strike up conversations about the music in the chat.

To start using ‘Listen with Friends’, look for the music note in the chat sidebar. You can then see the friends that are listening to music. To listen to music with a friend, just hover over their name, and click the Listen With button. The music will play through the music service your friend is using.

You’ll have the option to chat about the song you’re listening to.  As other people start listening along, they’ll join the party in a group chat. You can control who you’re listening along with through your settings, just to make sure you don’t have any uninvited guests joining in the music party

The ‘Listen with Friends’ feature will be rolled out over the next few weeks. Do let us know how you find it, once you start using it.

Delhi High Court Orders to Facebook & Google to Remove obscene content or face blocking in India

The Delhi High Court warned social networking site Facebook India and search engine Google 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.

"Like China, we will block all such websites," Justice Suresh Kait said while asking counsel for Facebook and Google India to develop a mechanism to keep a check and remove "offensive and objectionable" material from their web pages.

Justice Kait, who did not stay the proceedings against the two websites before magistrate's court, however agreed with the plea of lawyers that they would not press for an effective hearing in the trial court tomorrow.

Former Additional Solicitor General Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for Google India, said the postings of "obscene, objectionable and defamatory" articles and other things cannot be "filtered" or "monitored".

"No human interference is possible, and moreover, it can't be feasible to check such incidents. Billions of people across the globe, post their articles on the website. Yes, they may be defamatory, obscene but cannot be checked," he said.

Rohatgi tried to distinguish between Google India and its US-based holding company Google Inc.

"The US-based Google Inc is the service provider and not me (Google India) and hence, we are not liable for the action of my holding company. Moreover, it is criminal case where a vicarious liability can be fastened on a company which has no role, whatsoever, in the alleged offence."

Add Post Feed Footer - Let Googlebot discover the source

If you are Blogger user, have you set your Post Feed Footer link? The "Post Feed Footer" can be found on Settings -> Side Feed. It is a link that will appear after each post in your post feed. You must also set "Enable Post Pages" to "Yes" (in Archiving settings) and set "Allow Blog Feeds" to "Full".

Why add a Post Feed Footer? You probably do not know, but there could be a lot of websites that are republishing your RSS feeds, especially when your feeds are set to "Full". When Googlebot crawls the sites, it is very possible that it'll see the reprinted RSS feeds first before yours?

So let the search engine see your link by adding it at the end of your every blog feed.

Here is what you're gonna do. Add this on the "Post Feed Footer". Replace the link with your blog URL.

<hr /> <a href="http://www.myblog.com">My Blog Name</a>

Remember, for this to work, you should be syndicated in full feeds. Enjoy!
