Facebook Explains the Reason for Decreasing of Page reach

http://onlinesmedia.in/

Last year in December, facebook have made a changes in its algorithm and also give a new look to Facebook newsfeed. The new algorithm determines what a user sees in their Newsfeed. As Facebook is getting more and more popular and more users are connecting with Facebook, there are too much of content on the users newsfeed which make it noisy. So to prevent this shouts Facebook team have made a tweak change in the Facebook Fan Page reach.

Why the Page Reach was Down ?
Today on the blogpost Facebook explained the reason for the decline in the page reach of the Fan Page. Facebook ads product marketing lead, Brian Bolan, explains that there are two reasons for the downfall of the Page reach.
First there is too much content-

As the users are increasing and peoples shares there activity on there timeline, via web or mobile makes too much contents on the users news feeds every time they log into there account. And along with this tonnes of Fan Page have been made and Page Admins shares the post frequently which making the users news feed full of content. More and more Facebook users are becoming fans of more Pages.  So to solve this Facebook team have limited the reach of the fan page.

The news feed algorithm defines what user like to see in there news feeds, so the algorithm shows only the content relevant to there interest. So instead of showing someone the potential 1,500 posts when they log in, Facebook picks approximately 300 posts of those posts to add to their Newsfeed. That means a user sees 20 percent of what’s posted by their friends and Pages they like.

Bolan also explains the Facebook will continues to innovate. The recent change in the design of page layout is one example of there work. He mention that further more awesome and simple feature will be coming to facebook.

So if you are a page admin them you definitely searching for the reason for the downfall of the page reach. Its not a good news for you all, as the earlier algorithm may not be back.   -

How to Import Web Data into Google Docs

For instance, you can directly import data from web pages and edit it inside Google Docs. You can translate the text of a cell from one language to another. You can read RSS feeds inside Google Docs. You can even use Google Docs for monitoring web page changes - this is handy for tracking price fluctuations for a product on any shopping website.

You don’t have to be a geek nor do you have to write any scripts to do such amazing stuff inside Google Docs. All you need to know is a couple of Google functions - ImportFeed, ImportHTML and ImportXML – and you’ll have a head start. Ready?

Import Web Data into Google Docs

Today we’ll discuss ImportHTML, a useful Google formula that will help you fetch tables and lists from an external web pages into a Google Sheet.

Let’s start with an example. Open a new spreadsheet inside Google Docs, double-click any cell to enter the Edit mode and copy-paste the following function:

=ImportHTML("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bollywood_films_of_2012", "table", 2)

When you press Return, Google Docs will instantly import the second table from the corresponding Wikipedia page into your current sheet. If you replace the value of the third parameter in the above formula from 2 to, say, 4, Google Docs will import the forth table from the Wikipedia page.

In addition to <tables>, you can also import HTML lists into Google Sheets that are created using the <ol> or <ul> tags. Try the next function on your Google Sheet:

=ImportHTML("http://www.labnol.org/internet/tips-for-tech-startups/19483/", "list", 2)

The 25 start-up tips are listed using an Ordered HTML List and you can import the entire list into your Google Sheet with one formula. If there are multiple lists on a page, you can change the third parameter with the index of the list that you wish to fetch inside Google Docs.

It is important to note that once a table or list has been imported into Google Docs, the table won’t update itself even if the data on the source page has changed. Also, Google imports the tables as plain text and all the formatting and links will be lost.

8 Ways to Access Blocked Sites

Proxy Servers

Proxies are the most popular method of accessing blocked websites because they can bypass network restrictions. They help protect your privacy by letting you surf anonymously and securely. The connections are encrypted and help to prevent monitoring on your network, so it will never be traced back to you. Best of all they’re very simple to use: enter your URL and check/uncheck a few specifications and you’ll be surfing within seconds.

Examples: Hide My Ass, Proxify, Rocketsurf, Web Proxy, Orkut.pk, BackFox.

Short URL

Sometimes converting the domain you’re trying to access to a short URL might work. More than likely the short URL service will not banned or blocked from your network and you’ll have no problems accessing it. However, if the short URL redirects back to the domain you’re trying to access, then you still won’t be able to access it.

Examples: bit.ly, TinyURL, is.gd, SnipURL.

Google Cache

Most search engines have a cached version of a web page. These are stored versions from the past. What Google does is take a snapshot of each web page and then stores it as a backup. It won’t be the most recent version, but it should be good enough until you can access the actual page later from your own personal computer.

You can access a cached version by clicking on the “cached” link from search results, or using the Google cache search operator (cache:www.domain.com) – where domain.com is the actual blocked domain that you want to access.

Receive by Email

With a services like Web2Mail Lite, you can access any web page right from your email account. To request an instant delivery of any web page, simply send an email to www@web2mail.com. Be sure to enter the URL address of the web page you want to receive in the subject of your message. You’ll usually receive a reply within 5 minutes.

View as a PDF

With PDFmyURL you can view any web page as a PDF file. Just enter the URL and you’ll get an instant document to download. They also have a bookmarklet that you can add to your browser bookmarks bar so that you can easily convert any web page you’re viewing to a PDF file.

Translation Services

Translation services allow you to translate a web page from one language to another, but where the catch comes in is that the translated page is displayed on their own server. You can re-translate any page, even if you don’t need to. You just want the services to fetch the content and display it as a page on their own domain. The downside is that it may not work for all websites and it sometimes strips all of the styling from the page that it translates.

Examples: Google Translate, Yahoo! Babel Fish, SDL FreeTranslation, Tolingo.

Subscribe to RSS Feed

Most websites now support RSS feeds, which is great because you can subscribe to them in a feed reader or by email. This comes in handy because you don’t have to access the actual website in order to view the content (updates, new articles, etc.) There are even some social networks that now support RSS feeds, so you can subscribe to updates from your friends and view them within your reader or by email.

Examples: Google Reader, Feedingo, Bloglines, NewsBlur, FeedMyInbox, FeedBlitz.

Google Mobile Version

You can use Google mobile to access a mobile optimized version of most websites. It displays the normal HTML pages as if you were viewing them on a mobile device and also removes any JavaScript and CSS scripts. It also breaks longer pages into several smaller pages for you.

To get the mobile version of a web page, enter www.google.com/gwt/n?u=domain.com into the address bar – where domain.com is the blocked domain that you want to access. Alternately, you can also use a service like Mowser to get the mobilized version of a web page.

These methods may not work for everyone or for every website; it will take some trial and error to figure out which methods are effective. Just be careful as some of these methods may put you at risk for breaching company regulations.

Everyone has their own preference when it comes to accessing blocked sites. Which method do you prefer?

Hacking Windows 7 Logon Password Without any Software.

Lets say that you have just cracked victim's windows password.  or you got access to his windows for some time.Can you make some changes in windows so that you could access the windows again even if victim changes the password ?? or Can you make any changes in your own windows so that you could access it anytime even if anybody sets/changes password ?
Simply Can we set a backdoor in windows ?
Yes we can :) .
Backdoor actually means maintaining access for future use.
Lets Start!!
Open your command prompt (run as administrator in win 7/vista).


Type the following command :
Syntax : net user account.name *
Example: net user administrator *
and hit enter. Set any password for that account.

Hopefully your new password must have been set. did you notice one thing ? It didn't ask you to confirm old password. Now suppose if anyhow we manage to access command prompt at logon screen (without logging in), we can easily change/clear password.  

Okay lets move on.

Now press shift key five times and you must have got a dialog box "sticky keys" on screen.

Sticky keys is a feature that makes it easy for users who have physical  disablilities to press multiple keys at time.   This is the only feature which can be used before logging in at logon screen ( as per my knowledge). I repeat this feature can be used at  logon screen by pressing shift key five times.

Whenevr we start an application like paint, we are actually running mspaint.exe placed inC:\windows\system32. or command prompt, we are running cmd.exe placed in system32 directory, similary

When we press shift key 5 times or use sticky keys feature, system actually starts the executable file

sethc.exe placed in system32 directory. This means if we rename cmd.exe to sethc.exe and press shift 5 times, system would again start sethc.exe but instead of sticky keys the command prompt will be opened.

 

But you just cant simply rename it or change system32 files. Follow the tutorial for that.

 Tutorial :

* Go to C:\windows\system32

* Copy cmd.exe on your desktop and rename it to sethc.exe .

*Now copy that file and paste again in system32 directory.

@ Windows XP Users

Hopefully existing orignal sethc.exe must have been replaced and your job is done. Now press shift five times and you would see command prompt on screen.You can access command prompt at windows logon screen and change/clear the password easily using "net user" command.

Note: You can also do these changes while using windows Guest Account. But when you would access command prompt at logon screen, you can change/clear password even of administrator's account. This is exactly how , we can hack into administrator's account through guest account.

 

@ Windows vista/7 Users

You must have got a pop up box saying "Access Denied".

Actually you can not change system32 directory files until you do not have the permissions. You can not have the permissions until you do not have the ownership. So lets take ownership, change permissions, just follow the steps.

1. Right click on sethc.exe and run as administrator.  Again right click on sethc.exe, open properties.

Click on Advanced tab , then on owner and click edit, change the owner from "trusted installer" to "administrator" and click apply.

2. Then click on 'Edit' in security tab to edit permissions. Click on 'Administrators' , give it full control
and apply changes.

Okay its done now.

Now try replacing the orignal sethc.exe with our sethc.exe (got by renaming cmd.exe).
Press shift key five times and hopefully you would get command prompt on the screen instead of sticky keys.

Enjoy Command prompt at logon screen...
