Rajasthan govt turns to Facebook to meet people

JAIPUR: Rajasthan government is using social networking site 'Facebook' to publicise its programmes and policies and to ensure timely redressal of public grievances.

"Widely used social networking site today is the platform with greater reach among people, even in rural areas, so it was decided to use it," Lokesh Sharma, the member of State Public Grievances Committee said here today.

"It is not only to publicise the schemes and programmes, but also to help people in getting their grievance redressed to some extent," Sharma who created 'Apka Mukhyamantri' page on Facebook for the government said.

Whatever the suggestions, complaint, and queries we receive through the page, we apprise the chief minister Ashok Gehlot with it, he added.

Facebook offers Rs. 50 talktime for new users signing up via mobile

Facebook has launched a new scheme under which the company is offering Rs. 50 worth of talktime to new users who sign up via a mobile device. Under the new plan – first spotted by Plugged.in – users have to visit m.facebook.com/tt and register for the free talktime. Users can also refer others to join Facebook and get the same Rs. 50 talktime benefit if they sign up.

The process for the registration is pretty simple. You have to visit m.facebook.com/tt and follow the instructions appearing on the screen. New users don't require an e-mail address to complete the signing up formalities. All you have to do is give your mobile phone number. According to Facebook, talktime will be credited to users' account within three days of time.

Facebook is already massive popular in India. In fact, India has the second largest Facebook population. However, the social network aims to expand its reach in the country, especially by wooing the mobile users. A top Facebook official recently revealed that number of the Indian users accessing Facebook via mobile phones has significantly increased over the years.

Facebook's new scheme is certainly going to help the social network increase its popularity in the country. However, there are concerns the scheme may prompt the addition of fake profiles on the social network. According to the company's quarterly report, about 83 million Facebook accounts are fakes and dupes.

Facebook starts rolling new layout for Message
Back in August, Facebook introduced a new layout for its messages in an attempt to make it look more like e-mail. According to a post on the Facebook page of digital marketing agency Interactive Swim, the new layout appears to have now begun rolling out to more users.

Interactive Swim said in its post:

“A new Facebook messaging platform is on the way! Not fully rolled out, we’re special and part of the early release, so here are some details for you. It allows you message anyone in your life (not just FB users) add multiple pictures and emoticons to your messages, and search specific keywords to find recent convos. Look for it to head your way soon.”

Here's the screen shot posted by Interactive Swim:

According to the the August blog post from Facebook, you should expect from the new design to be a side-by-side layout that shows your most recent message on the left, and the whole conversation appears on the right. There are options to add multiple photos and emoticons.
