Fitur Baru Facebook: "Ticker" Memudahkan Kamu Melihat Aktivitas Terbaru Teman

Meskipun tampaknya belum ada press release dari facebook mengenai fitur baru yang terpajang di halaman muka faceook saya, namun saya berani menyimpulkan ini adalah fitur baru. Di namai "Ticker", side bar baru ini memberikan informasi tentang aktivitas terbaru yang teman kita lakukan. Seperti apa yang teman sukai, dimana dan apa yang teman komentari atau status terbaru teman akan muncul dalam side bar yang dinamakan "TIcker" oleh facebook.

Ketika anda scroll down, maka ticker akan tetap mengikuti anda sehingga anda bisa fokus pada apa yang teman lakukan saat ini.

Tak ada keterangan lebih lanjut yang saya dapatkan, bahkan official account facebook juga belum mengeluarkan keterangannya. Tapi sebagai sedikit bocoran, ketika anda mengarahkan kursor anda ke "Ticker" ini, maka akan ada keterangan tambahan dimana aktivitas tersebut berada.

Dan berikut ini adalah hasil screenshot yang saya dapatkan

Meski bukan peruahan besar, tapi facebook tahu ini akan memudahkan pengguna untuk memantau aktivitas temannya pada saat itu juga.

[UPDATE]

semenjak beberapa menit yang lalu, saya kehilangan fitur ini. Tak ada keterangan yang jelas tetapi tiba-tiba fitur ticker ini menghilang dari akun facebook saya. Memang, saya kehilangan fitur ini pada hari yang lain, (saya menulis posting ini pada jam-jam terkahir hari minggu, agustus, 28 20011 da kehilangan fitur ini pada sekitar jam 1:20 am senin, agustus 29, 2011). Saya rasa ini karena facebook masih menguji coba fitur ini dan belum meresmikannya untuk publik meskipun dalam versi beta.

Jadi, tunggu saja hingga facebook mengeluarkan press release lewat akun resminya.

New Feature on Facebook: Ticker, Let You See the Highlights of Friends Activities

Although it seems there is no press release from facebook about the new features displayed on the front page of my facebook, but I dare to conclude this is a new feature. In the name the "Ticker", a new side bar provides information about the latest activities of our friends are doing. Like what your friends like, where and what your friends or comment on the latest status of your friends will appear in the side bar called "ticker" by facebook. When you scroll down, then the ticker will continue to follow so you can focus on what your friends are doing today.

No further information I get, even official facebook account has not issued a statement. But as a little leak, when you point your cursor to the "Ticker", then there will be additional information which the activity is located.

And the following screenshot of the results that I get:

Ticker Side bar

Although this change does not affect the overall features faceook so, but I think this is one thing that facebook erikan to ease its users to communicate with each other.


[UPDATED 1:39AM (GMT +7) Monday, August 29, 2011]

since few minutes ago, I lost this feature. There was no clear explanation but suddenly this ticker feature disappeared from my facebook account. Indeed, I miss this feature on another day, (I wrote this post during the hours of last Sunday, August 28, 20 011 da miss this feature at about 1:20 am Monday, August 29, 2011). I think this is because Facebook is still testing this feature and yet it official for the public even in beta.

So, just wait until the facebook issue a press release through his official account.

Recently, a new solution to access the Internet presented to the public. Although still in the introductory phase and can not be applied in life, but it seems this will be a new technology.


If in recent years, the data transmitted via radio waves, so in this technology the data is transmitted using light waves. Yes, radio waves are not the only electromagnetic waves that can transmit data. Light wave is also one of the electromagnetic waves that can deliver the data. Examples of application of this simple technology can be seen on the television remote, but more powerful.



Quoted from vivanews.com (21 August 2011), Harald Haas, the German physicist reveals a new solution that he calls "the data through the illumination 'or carrying out of the fiber optic fiber by sending data through LED light has an intensity that varies much faster than man who could be arrested. D-Light, Haas called for the finding, claiming that these findings could result in data transmission at speeds above 10 megabits per second which is far above the average speed of current broadband connections.



According to Haas, the future data to be transmitted to laptops, smartphones, and tablets will be transmitted through the lights in the room. And the issue about security is also so very easy. If the lights do not exist, the data can not be transmitted.


Haas argues, many things can be done using this technology. Start of public internet access via a street lamp, until the vehicle is driven automatically by headlights.


In addition, the data comes through the spectrum that could be seen as the lights can help ease fears that the electromagnetic waves that come with WiFi can damage health.
