They filed the petition seeking for a permanent ban on access to Facebook for hosting a fresh blasphemous caricature drawing contest world over under a title "2nd Annual Draw Muhammad Day-May 20, 2011".<br /><br />The main aim for ban is to protect the Islamic values and feeling of billions of Muslims.<br /><br />No action will be taken against companies like Google, court clarified.<br /><br />The lifting of ban has not been specified by the court.

Smart lists</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2. Close Friends</span> <span style="font-weight:bold;">and Acquaintances lists</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3. Better suggestions</span>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Blake Ross</span>, Facebook, in an official <a href="http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=10150278932602131">post</a> on their bog revealed about the new features.<br />He wrote,<br /><center><span style="font-style:italic;">"This week, it will be easier than ever to see more from the people you care about and simpler to share with exactly the right people using Friend Lists."</span></center><br />Looks like we will witness something very similar what we use in <span style="font-weight:bold;">Google+</span>. Google+ powers users with such feature with which you can see post from a particular <span style="font-weight:bold;">circle</span>, share with them, and perform some closed activities.<br /><br />Facebook has the feature of managing friend list from years, but for most of users it was <span style="font-weight:bold;">meaningless</span> as it does not have enough functionality and also consumes a lot of time.<br /><br />Lets first look what's new in Facebook:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Details about the new feature[via official post]:</span><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1. Smart Lists - </span>You'll see smart lists that create themselves and stay up-to-date based on profile info your friends have in common with you--like your work, school, family and city.<br />In Initial stages Facebook is offering some smart lists as <span style="font-style:italic;">Work, School, Family and City.</span><br /><br />For instance you have Cambridge University as your college and some of your friends also have same college then a list named "Cambridge University" will automatically be added as one of your <span style="font-weight:bold;">smart list</span>. After that you can also add and remove friends manually.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzXOpmzF8S0BRQGrqVS3CiIww0oMx-tqHnxvT5uPq_bKGRuK4VD9yp6Ug_TVQyEmlmoyWNUHD783F4h7hDXUVFbjnfno_xdAI5UscMizOIkVUIi2AeRkmER2KVR7iU2d4irZN3yoKgeS2T/s1600/Smart_list_facebook.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 138px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzXOpmzF8S0BRQGrqVS3CiIww0oMx-tqHnxvT5uPq_bKGRuK4VD9yp6Ug_TVQyEmlmoyWNUHD783F4h7hDXUVFbjnfno_xdAI5UscMizOIkVUIi2AeRkmER2KVR7iU2d4irZN3yoKgeS2T/s400/Smart_list_facebook.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651904286249261170" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2. Close Friends and Acquaintances lists -</span> You can see your best friends' photos and posts in one place, and see less from people you're not as close to. Similar functionality goes for Acquaintances lists. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3. Better suggestions - </span>New feature provides suggestions for your smart lists, Close Friends, Acquaintances, and your own lists, making them easier to create and update. While adding a user as your friend, you'll be able to add the friend to any of your existing lists.<br /><br />Now every list will be having its <span style="font-weight:bold;">own news feed</span> where you can find updates from your friends that are in that list. Similarly you can share your updates with a group of friends via same smart list.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq2wRdIm1qkx_73dXftrELi2gBSAPa9iNENfcrPvACfg6JNs7zRAnMnbkosvJSAdk00_TzX777m1ExmOl-fTritx0hgVcK-HVI7onX5rUtHvBBkivIhejldl2kd-xSAFNcgcutRBAJh8MC/s1600/Friend_list_facebook.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 203px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq2wRdIm1qkx_73dXftrELi2gBSAPa9iNENfcrPvACfg6JNs7zRAnMnbkosvJSAdk00_TzX777m1ExmOl-fTritx0hgVcK-HVI7onX5rUtHvBBkivIhejldl2kd-xSAFNcgcutRBAJh8MC/s400/Friend_list_facebook.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651907507486174882" /></a><br />Improved Friend lists will be available to everyone this week.<br /><br />As many of the Google+ users must have noticed this feature completely looks like <span style="font-weight:bold;">"Circles" of Google+</span>. Similar functionality is available and <span style="font-weight:bold;">benchmark</span> of G+. Now all Facebook lovers will be able to use some similar kind of functionality. <br /><br /><center><span style="font-weight:bold;">Also Read | </span> <a href="http://alldailyupdatesandnews.blogspot.com/2011/09/facebook-testing-new-summary-email.html">Facebook Testing New Summary Email Feature</a></center><br /><br />This kind of move from Facebook clearly suggests that it does not want any of its user to move from their platform simply because some other platform is providing some good features. Like in this case its Google+. One major difference between Circles of Google+ and new Facebook feature is that automatic functionality of addition is involved in Facebook Smart lists. <br />But question is what all features will be added like this? Don't you think users like and appreciate something new. <br /><br /><center><span style="font-weight:bold;">NEW | </span> <a href="http://alldailyupdatesandnews.blogspot.com/2011/09/facebook-introduces-new-subscribe.html">Facebook Introduces New Subscribe Button </a></center><br />How does Google+ see these updates from Facebook? <br /><br />Please share your views on the same via comments.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Team--- Team AJ's ---http://www.blogger.com/profile/03815792825419348247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731652570853135659.post-24749871638909844732011-09-13T01:44:00.000-07:002011-09-13T11:44:32.266-07:00Facebook Testing New Summary Email Feature<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ce3nCRoHA2OoqE7A2wal4nPdZy-t8UbTRfJgMhPt68Y96SJosQrTgredsxPf07S1WPfGHljYbobBES0ZlURTOgdA2BTqh5aj5WWeILePAj1txs_NsLnjs2D99W1ts2qnKjCK5JudLcbB/s1600/facebook-email_notifications.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ce3nCRoHA2OoqE7A2wal4nPdZy-t8UbTRfJgMhPt68Y96SJosQrTgredsxPf07S1WPfGHljYbobBES0ZlURTOgdA2BTqh5aj5WWeILePAj1txs_NsLnjs2D99W1ts2qnKjCK5JudLcbB/s320/facebook-email_notifications.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651763828958881522" /></a> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Facebook </span>has started testing a new feature that lets users to receive <span style="font-weight:bold;">summary emails</span> instead of all individual notification email.<br /><br />Facebook on their official wall informed users about this new feature. <br /><br /><center><span style="font-style:italic;">"We're testing a feature for people who are very active on Facebook and receive lots of email notifications from us.
