Facebook appears to be piqued about Google Plus’ growth and is reported to be blocking Google Plus invites from the users’ Facebook news feed. This came into light when the senior vice president of social business, Vic Gundotra posted a video on YouTube demonstrating that Google+ invites that have been shared on Facebook did not show up in the news feed of other Facebook users.

Facebook has become real spammy of late. Scam messages appear on Facebook news feed every now and then. We have reported several scam messages spreading on Facebook. Scammers trick users by creating scam messages with titles and thumbnails that make them curious to click. The purpose of creating scams is either drive traffic to scam web sites or earn money.

Twitter is rolling out a HTML 5 version of their website to iPad users around the globe. While not everyone has access to it, it is said to be headed to all users over the next week.

Remember Google’s Chrome “Bug Bounty” program? Facebook has joined Google, and is following the “Bug Bounty” program, by rewarding its security researchers. However, the reward is way too less. For security related bugs – cross site scripting flaws, for example – the company will pay a base rate of $500, but if they’re highly significant flaws, Facebook has promised to pay more. However, the company executives haven’t revealed the reward.

Facebook has made some cosmetic changes to the Account Settings section, which it hopes will make editing and updating your account information easier.

Twitter has added a new system of promoted tweets, which is going live with a select set of advertisers today.

When Twitter initially launched its service, users created Twitter handles with nicknames and aliases that did not reveal the gender and it was difficult to identify it. Nevertheless, Twitter still does not have an option to let its users reveal their gender. However, a bunch of researchers has figured out a way to identify, or rather predict the gender of a user on Twitter based on their tweets.

Facebook scams are nothing new. They seem to appear with every new disaster that occurs in reality. We have reported a number of scams that are spreading like wildfire on Facebook. A couple of days earlier, Facebook was hit with a massive Amy Winehouse Death Video Scam that promised to show a leaked video of the singer, hours before her death. Today I noticed a new scam going viral where users are clicking on links and posting updates saying “[NSFW] Webcam Girl Fail” which has a description that states – “Silly girl wants to tease some guys on her webcam – The Fail was obvious!”

Another new video related Facebook scam is spreading rapidly on Facebook. The scam is similar to earlier scams like the Brother rapes and ills sister scam, Girl raped by Teacher in Classroom scam and the Ex Girlfriend Revenge Video scam where pictures of scantily clad women or couple in compromising positions accompany the updates.

Amy Winehouse’s death is being exploited by scammers on Facebook. Scammers are now spreading fake videos of Amy Winehouse taking crack before her death on Facebook and enticing users to click and share them.

A new Facebook scam is reportedly spreading like wildfire on Facebook. The scam relates to an incident that happened a month ago. A father, who took his daughter to watch a baseball game in LA, dropped his daughter off his hands while trying to catch a foul ball. However, it was reported that the girl was not injured. Facebook scammers have taken advantage of this incident by creating a fake message that promises to show the video by completing a survey.

Looks like I am working overnight today with Facebook Scams. I recently posted about three scams today. The first was a girl having a spider living under her skin video followed by the Oslo bombings video scam and the Ex Girlfriend being violated Facebook Scam. Now I have come across a new scam where a sexy mom is making thousands of dollars working from home.

In a new trend, a new scam is spreading on Facebook in multiple ways. There are different updates related to the same thing and they are similar in nature. I have been writing about Facebook Scam for a while today. Previously, I wrote about the Oslo Blasts Security Camera Blast and the Girl Has a Spider Living Inside her Skin scam.

Earlier today, a bomb went off in OSLO killing several innocent people and injuring many. The blasts were carried out by terrorists, but it looks like Facebook scammers are out to fool people and make use of the tragic incident as a background.
