How To Setup Facebook Video Calling

Facebook, the social-network of the masses, is now having to face the dynamite of Social Networks, Google Plus. To compete with Google Plus, FaceBook has already started to improvise and enrich the socializing experience. & thus, the new feature introduced by FaceBook, a milestone in the FaceBook history, the FaceBook VideoCalling. This is a joint venture of FaceBook and Skype.

Facebook users can interact live with their social group, friends and family and wouldn't have to download and install any third party apps to use this feature. More importantly, its fast and fun to use.

How To Setup Facebook Video Calling

Here is how you can setup facebook video calling:

1. Click the video icon at the top right of your window.
2. Click the “Set Up” button and follow the instructions and install the program.
3. Once installed the video call will start automatically and you can start making video calls through your Facebook account.

Start Video Chatting With Your Friends:

After the you are done with the instructions above, you are now ready to make your first call:

1. Visit the profile of your friend who you want to call and click the “Call” button in the top right corner. An alternative would be to click the video icon at the top of the chat window.
2. When your friend answers your call, wait for a few seconds till both your web cams are up and running.
3. You can also leave a video message incase your friend is unavailable.

Make sure your webcam and microphone are working correctly before making a call. This feature also works if both the parties do not have webcam, in such a case, both the parties would be able to hear only each other's voice. There's heat building up and competition is at its peek. We are hoping for both Google Plus and FaceBook to provide its users with flawless services to attract the masses. Who is going to win this game is yet to be seen. Until then, enjoy the War of the Geeks!

Agile Creativity: 7 Tech-Inspired Tips

There's no question that technology has fundamentally transformed the business of advertising. We think the really exciting changes come when we are able to re-imagine not just the ads themselves, but the whole process of conceiving and developing them. The "Mad Men" of the future will not only be fluent in technology, but also in the evolving, highly adaptable, "launch and iterate" style that has become the signature of Silicon Valley.

Developed in close partnership with ad industry executives, Agile Creativity is a playbook that agencies can use to brainstorm ways to be faster and more collaborative in their organizational structures and creative processes. Explore the best practices.

Last week we hosted a G+ Hangout on Air “Coders and Creatives: 2 Angles on Agility” featuring Google engineers and ad executives. The discussion centered around new models of collaboration, how creativity can thrive in a condensed timeline, and the power of prototyping both products and ideas. If you missed it, watch the highlights video. If you’d like to see the full 50-minute hangout, head here.

Voice Search arrives in 13 new languages

“Norwegian restaurants in New York City.” I can type that phrase fast, but I can say it even faster—and when I’m on the go, speed is what I’m looking for. With Voice Search, you can speak into your phone to get search results quickly and easily. Voice Search is already available in 29 languages, and today, we're bringing support to 13 new languages for Android users—bringing the total to 42 languages and accents in 46 countries. In fact, 100 million new speakers can use Voice Search now, with the addition of:

Basque Bulgarian Catalan European Portuguese Finnish Galician Hungarian

Icelandic Norwegian Romanian Serbian Slovak Swedish

Each new language usually requires that we initially collect hundreds of thousands of utterances from volunteers and, although we’ve been working on speech recognition for several years, adding these new languages led our engineers and scientists to tackle some unique challenges. While languages like Romanian follow predictable pronunciation rules, others, like Swedish, required that we recruit native speakers to provide us with the pronunciations for thousands of words. Our scientists then built a machine learning system based on that data to predict how all other Swedish words would be pronounced.



This update has already started to roll out, and will continue to do so over the course of the next week. How you get started with Google Voice Search depends on what kind of phone you have. If your phone runs Android 2.2 or later, and you see the microphone icon on the Google Search widget on your homescreen, all you have to do is tap the icon to start a voice-powered search. Otherwise, you can install the Voice Search app from Google Play. Note that you can only speak one language into the app at a time, and you may need to change your language settings to use one of these new languages.



As with other languages we’ve added, one of the major benefits to Google’s cloud-based model is that the more people use Voice Search, the more accurate it becomes.
