Find Out The Pros Of Social Media To Mankind

Now we continue with the fourth part of our blog on social networking. Those who have missed our third blog can read it from Here. It will help to connect with the fourth part of the blog discussing about the pros of social networking to mankind. Let us explore the blog to find out in more details. 

Social Networking or social media has become one of the most popular and emerging trend in the world of internet over past few years. Numerous social networking sites have emerged with their own unique features to provide users with amazing social media experiences. Orkut started as one of the first social networking site of its kind which gained immensely popularity for many years and with time it was replaced by the present social media giant Facebook. Facebook as a social networking site has become the part and parcel of almost every human being and they cannot live a single day without spending enough time over Facebook. Facebook emerged to be the social networking giant due to its extraordinary features which gained popularity among users causing a massive transition in the type of social networking experience started with Orkut. Other popular social networks have also emerged with time like Twitter, Linkedin, Google Plus, Instagram etc which have provided users with their own unique features. But Facebook occupied the maximum market of social networking due to their broadest interaction and communication platform. Twitter on the other hand provides very limited interaction and communication and is mostly popular among celebrities and renowned personalities. Linkedin provides a business and employment oriented social networking. Google Plus provides a overall social networking experience while Instagram provides a photo and video sharing based social networking. Thus every social networking platforms are unique in their own kind and are great sources to reach  the broadest possible audiences.

Social promotions have emerged to be one of the leading technique over past few years to expand any profession and business in a wider range by reaching maximum number of targeted audiences. It has become the best way to gain broad visibility of any profession and business and doing in proper way can lead to huge prosperity in the respective fields. Almost every people now-a-days are engaged to one or more than one social networking platforms and thus social media can be used for highlighting the selling points of any profession and business based on the need of the users. Social promotion using social networking sites can be done in both free and paid way. The free way requires much effort in promotion while the paid way requires money but it saves lot of efforts. Free social promotion can be done using Facebook by creating a respective professional or business page and you can earn likes and permanent followers to your page by inviting people from your friend list to the page, sharing the page and the updates posted in the page in your own timeline, different large and active groups related to respective business or profession and in other pages. Twitter and Linkedin promotion on the other hand can be done by creating pages and sharing the updates daily on your profile and others. Google Plus promotion can be done similar to that of Facebook by creating pages, gain followers, sharing updates on different big and active communities relevant to the business or profession for which the page is made. This self promotion at zero cost offers better visibility and outreach but the major consequences are- tiring process, chances of spamming and account suspension and reaching less number of targeted audiences and more number of irrelevant audiences. These consequences have been overcome in the paid promotions. All the social networks provides their own platform for advertisement related to any profession or business and their advance artificial intelligence systems help to reach the targeted and most suitable audiences for the respective profession and business. These advertisement appears in the profile of the users who can be your best probable audience based on the criteria filled up during promotion. The daily budget and total number of days to run the promotion are flexible enough and can be adjusted according to need. The plans and pricing varies for different social networks with Facebook giving the most flexible plans and pricing. Thus social promotion is the main pros of social networking and the best social promotion strategy should be a mixed combination of free and paid promotion. While in paid promotion there is no worry as artificial intelligence do the rest of the things but in free promotion special care must be taken to prevent spamming and more effort have to be put to reach targeted audiences.

Social Networking (Part-III)- Emerging Trends Of Social Networking

Know About The Current Emerging Trends in Social Networking

Here we continue with the third part of our blog on social networking. Those who have missed our second blog can read it from Here. It will help to connect with the third part of the blog discussing about the emerging trends of social networking. Let us explore the blog to find out in more details. Quotes of Hilary Mason, chief data scientist, bitly, VentureBeat: 

"The things you share are things that make you look good, things which you are happy to tie into your identity".

While the popularity of social networking consistently rises, new uses for the technology are frequently being observed. Today's technologically savvy population requires convenient solutions to their daily needs. At the forefront of emerging trends in social networking sites is the concept of "real-time web" and "location-based". Real-time allows users to contribute contents, which is then broadcast as it is being uploaded—the concept is analogous to live radio and television broadcasts. Twitter set the trend for "real-time" services, wherein users can broadcast to the world what they are doing, or what is on their minds within a 140-character limit. Facebook followed suit with their "Live Feed" where users' activities are streamed as soon as it happens. While Twitter focuses on words, Clixtr, another real-time service, focuses on group photo sharing wherein users can update their photo streams with photos while at an event. Facebook, however, remains the largest photo sharing site—Facebook application and photo aggregator Pixable estimates that Facebook will have 100 billion photos by Summer 2012. In April 2012, the image-based social media network Pinterest had become the third largest social network in the United States. Companies have begun to merge business technologies and solutions, such as cloud computing, with social networking concepts. Instead of connecting individuals based on social interest, companies are developing interactive communities that connect individuals based on shared business needs or experiences. Many provide specialized networking tools and applications that can be accessed via their websites, such as LinkedIn. Others companies, such as Monster.com, have been steadily developing a more "socialized" feel to their career centre sites to harness some of the power of social networking sites. These more business related sites have their own nomenclature for the most part but the most common naming conventions are "Vocational Networking Sites" or "Vocational Media Networks", with the former more closely tied to individual networking relationships based on social networking principles.

Foursquare gained popularity as it allowed for users to check into places that they are frequenting at that moment. Gowalla is another such service that functions in much the same way that Foursquare does, leveraging the GPS in phones to create a location-based user experience. Clixtr, though in the real-time space, is also a location-based social networking site, since events created by users are automatically geotagged, and users can view events occurring nearby through the Clixtr iPhone app. Recently, Yelp announced its entrance into the location-based social networking space through check-ins with their mobile app; whether or not this becomes detrimental to Foursquare or Gowalla is yet to be seen, as it is still considered a new space in the Internet technology industry.

All you need to know about Facebook Marketplace and the new customization added to it 

Facebook is one of the largest social networking giant with billions of active users. Starting mainly as a social networking platform for connecting and interacting with new people throughout the world, it gradually expands itself to several other areas to provide its billions of users with amazing services and experiences. Thus apart from being the largest social platform for communicating and connecting with people, it also serves as a stable platform for advertisement, event promotion, pages, city guides, crisis response, recommendations, trending news, weather and lot more. Facebook is also ready to launch its new dating application to help users to find the love of their life and a long term relationship from among billions of users beyond their friendlist. Thus different types of services for fulfilling every needs of users, combined in a single platform has made Facebook one of the leading social giant all over the world. One such amazing service is the Facebook Marketplace.

Facebook Marketplace is an amazing service by the social giant providing an amazing common platform for buyers and sellers to meet and deal as per their requirements. The Marketplace consists of a 'Browse' menu where users can find different types of items displayed for sale based on their selected location and selected range surrounding the location. The 'Shop by Category' option enable users to search and buy products based on different categories like Home & Garden, Housing, Entertainment, Clothing & Accessories, Family, Electronics, Hobbies, Vehicles and Classifieds. These main categories are again divided into few sub-categories for ease of users to select product based on their requirement. The thumbnail pictures of the items are displayed with its name, the price and the location where it is available for sale. On clicking individual item another pop-up screen will appear where further details regarding the item and location of the seller is provided. There is also a "Ask for Details" button in the pop-up window and "Message Seller" button on the thumbnails so that buyer can directly request to seller for additional information and query regarding the product. 'Buying' and 'Selling' buttons keep track of the items and the chats with sellers and the messages from interested buyers respectively. You can also save an item in your 'Saved Items' list by bookmarking from the thumbnail images. The 'Sell Something' option enables sellers to add their own advertisement for any product in the Marketplace. Another new addition by Facebook to its Marketplace is the professional home services facility which will roll out very soon. There are many request for recommendations for in-home services mainly in the US which urged Facebook to launch this new service in its Marketplace. Now users will be able to hire a plumber, house cleaner, interior designer, contractor, electrician, home renovator and lot more for getting best in-home services from among the professionals in their surrounding area. Facebook is also collaborating with three companies namely Handy, Home Advisor and Porch for providing the best services to its users in this field.

Social Users Comprising Their Own Security By Themselves

Image for representative purpose only.

Billions of social media users are risking their own privacy  without their knowledge making their personal information vulnerable to leakage

A coin has two sides and the same analogy works for social media which has a good and a dark side. Billions of users throughout the world are using social media in different and multiple platforms and are often addicted to different applications of social media which can sometimes risk their privacy and personal information. Few months back billions of users witnessed the social giant Facebook involved in data breaching thus violating their own privacy policy and in later stages Twitter was also reported to have cause data breaching to third parties. Another incident was also recently witnessed by billions users where another social giant Twitter asked them to change their account password immediately followed by a bug in their internal system that may have saved the password in internal logs.

But the most vulnerable scenario is that billions of social media users are themselves exposing their personal information to threat by using different fun applications of different social media, mostly Facebook. Previous year an application named 'Saraha' went viral over the biggest social platform Facebook. Billions of users were using the application to send funny anonymous messages to anyone even if you do not have any account in the application. Users were finding it very fun and a source of great entertainment to get different amazing messages from anonymous persons. Naturally there was several misuse of it by using for spreading hatred, abusing and bullying. This year the new trend is 'Stulish' and it is now viral over Facebook. Billions of users are using it to get anonymous messages from different persons. It is already gaining the same popularity as 'Saraha'. Thus billions of users are threatening the security of their own personal information.

Not just 'Saraha' or 'Stulish', there are millions of fun applications over Facebook which are being used by billion of users. All these applications are third parties who are giving access to their product by logging using your Facebook account. We always get a pop-up messages while registering for the application and without reading we click on 'Allow' to start using that applications sooner. By clicking 'Allow' you give third party applications full access to your personal information over Facebook and also the Facebook profile. They sometimes post on your Facebook wall without asking for permissions. The personal data and information of billions of users are collected by means of these applications which can be misused against you. So we must control our emotion over Facebook and not just taste the fun of those applications. First you have to think in cool mind and read their terms and policies before giving them any permission of your account. Hope billions of social users will be more cautious over social media so that they do not make themselves vulnerable to the dark sides of social media.

Facebook Checking on Fake Accounts

Facebook is checking its billion user accounts and removing fake accounts

After the Cambridge Ananlytica scandal, the social giant Facebook is continuously updating its security and privacy policies to restore their faith on their billion user base. After the data leak, Facebook made public its secret community standard policies through which they provided user with the flexibility to control data sharing and the types of content sharing which do not violate Facebook's policy. The internal team and the artificial intelligence systems are working hard to check the contents posted on Facebook to prevent the spread of hatred, discrimination, violence and terrorism. Now again in another new move Facebook is checking and removing huge number of fake accounts from its social platform. It has already removed 583 million fake accounts out of its billion user base within the first quarter of 2018 to prevent spamming, privacy scandals and misuse of the social platform for violence, hatred and discrimination. The Facebook's artificial intelligence systems are really working effectively to prevent spams, bots and fake accounts and all the fake accounts are deleted within few minutes of registration. But Facebook thinks that their artificial intelligence system is not full proof and still they may have very less percent of fake accounts existing. The artificial intelligence systems have been deleting millions of spam post, fake accounts, violent and nudity content even before giving chance to user to report them. Facebook is continuously upgrading its artificial intelligence systems for more better detection of spam posts, fake accounts and hate speeches in order to restore faith of common people over social media. These active steps will prevent Facebook to be used for platform of hatred, discrimination, violence and terrorism and thus can again restore the faith of millions of users over social media.

Facebook to Introduce its New Dating App

Image for representative purpose only.

Facebook is all set to capture the online dating market with its upcoming feature of a new dating application  

The social media giant Facebook is now gearing up to enter the online dating market very soon amidst the recent Cambridge Anaytica scandal involving leaking of personal data of 87 million users to different third-parties for targeted advertisements. This surprise announcement was made at the annual Facebook F8 Developer Conference where CEO Mark Zuckerberg mentioned that there are almost 200 million users on Facebook with their relationship status as single. So the new dating application aims to build a real, long-term and permanent relationships instead of focusing on just hook-ups and other temporary relations. The new dating feature will be optional and user will have to opt themselves in for making their dating profile publicly visible to others. The dating profile of user will not be visible to anyone on their Facebook friend list and the persons with whom users are not friends or connected over Facebook will only be able to see the dating profile if they have also opted in for the dating site. Thus Facebook wants its users to find the love of their life by expanding the reach of this dating application beyond usual Facebook connection. Following the recent data scandal, Zuckerberg emphasized on the point that this new dating application feature has been designed with utmost care to privacy and safety from the very beginning. He is positive that this new dating application will help user to find meaningful relationships with people beyond their Facebook connection. So now users are eagerly waiting for the official launch of this dating application feature with the hope that it will be the best of its kind to find their perfect life partner. But the introduction of this new dating application feature supported by a huge user-base of Facebook will in turn badly deteriorate the online dating market of Tinder. Tinder is currently the most popular online dating application and Facebook's new feature is surely going to give a tough competition to Tinder which already faced about 19% drop in its stock soon after Facebook made its announcement.

Facebook "Hate Speech" Bug

Serious bug accidentally causes Facebook's "Hate Speech" button to become public  causing outrage among users

A serious bug in Facebook's internal testing system that is asking users if a post is "Hate Speech" or not has gone public for quite sometime causing outrage among several users. Due to this accidental bug an yellow icon with an exclamation mark is showing below every posts along with the message "Does this post contain hate speech?" According to a Facebook spokeperson there was internal testing going on to understand different types of speech including those which Facebook do not consider as hate speech. But a serious bug causes this internal testing to go public for a short period and it was disabled thereafter. Following the recent measures by Facebook in securing and protecting its platform from spreading violent extremism, religious hatred and terrorism by different terrorist and extremist organizations, many users thought that the "Hate Speech" button is a new feature of Facebook and some also feel offended by the thought that Facebook is censoring their content and they are gradually loosing their freedom of speech. Though the bug lasted for a short time yet it has created wrong impression among people.

Twitter Data Scandal

Image for representative purpose only.

After Facebook, it is now Twitter who has leaked users' data in Cambridge Analytica Scandal

The recent outrage from different communities worldwide following the Cambridge Analytica scandal in which the social giant Facebook has been found to breach its own privacy policy and leak the personal data of its 87 million users. The personal data of such huge number of users have been leaked by Facebook to different third-party for targeted advertisements purpose and have been used in the way it is not supposed to according to Facebook's policies. Though Facebook is worse affected in this data scandal yet other social medias have not remain unscratched. Now the name of another very popular social media has come up in the Cambridge Analytica data scandal that contain profiles of almost every celebrity, renowned personalities, agencies. In a very shocking revelation to The Telegraph, Twitter have confirmed that it has sold the access of public data to Aleksandr Kogan in 2015. Aleksandr Kogan was then a psychology researcher at Cambridge University and his company Global Science Research (GSR) launched the quiz application "thisisyourdigitallife" that collected data from millions of Facebook users against their consent during 2014-2015. Twitter said that GSR paid and accessed for a single day in 2015 and collected random samples of public tweet between December 2014 and April 2015 but it was denied access of private information. Still it is not clear what Kogan and his firm did with the data but the immediate concern is the theoretical correlation of Facebook and Twitter data that reflects the comprehensiveness of the data collecting process. But according to Kogan they have used the data only for the purpose of "brand reports" and "survey extender tools" without violating Twitter's policies. It also seems from the short access window and randomized nature of the collected data that Kogan and his firm collected the data to study the general trend at a random point of time rather than any sustained and targeted campaign. Thus it seems from recent scenarios that no social media platform can be trusted for the protection of our private information as they are easily sharing them with third-party users in exchange of money.

Facebook strongly checking its content

Social giant Facebook taking strong action on 1.9 million terrorism related contents from different terrorist organisations since the beginning of this year

Facebook is no doubt the largest social platform existing still now which connects people all over the world sitting right from anywhere else. Information Technology creates products to make our day to day life easier. But human beings always misuse every other thing and Facebook had gradually become the biggest platform for extremists triggering or involved in violence, terrorists and dreaded terror organisations like ISIS and Al-Qaeda. The religious extremists and terror organisations misused Facebook's biggest network for their recruitment purpose, spreading hatred, promoting violence, riots and terrorist attacks around the world killing thousands of innocent people. Facebook's platform provides them with better coordination and success in promoting their activities and thus there is an urgent need for filtering different contents and verify profiles which are by any means connected with terrorism and violent activities.  

Following recent Cambridge Analytica scandal in which Facebook is found guilty of breaching its privacy policy and sharing personal information of 87 million users to third parties for advertisement purpose in the way it is not supposed to do according to its policy. Moreover, Facebook also collected personal data of phone calls and text messages of millions of android users through its mobile application. The above incidents is followed by severe outrage from users all over the world and Facebook has been forced to introduce major changes in its privacy policy  that will enable users to control what information they want Facebook to collect about them. Now another giant leap taken by Facebook from the starting of this year is to control Facebook's content to prevent spread of terror activities. Facebook is now thoroughly filtering its every contents and either removed or added content warnings to 1.9 millions contents related to major extremists terror group like ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Most of these contents which are removed by Facebook over last 3 months have not been reported by users and Facebook's content management team itself filtered out such prohibited contents and improved their algorithms for better filtering of their contents. Facebook is always the main platform for terrorist organisations to target the youths and brainwash them for joining terrorist activities and spreading religious extremism with violence. So Facebook is now more concerned about this serious issue and thoroughly filtering every content with the help of their content management team and updated algorithms to prevent any contents related to terrorism, violence or any extremist ideas promoting violence from further spreading over the Facebook's entire social network.

Facebook Collecting Data From Rarely Active Profiles or Having No Profile

Image for representative purpose only.

Facebook's shocking revelation of their data collection policy from rarely active profiles or having no profile, now pointing fingers at popular social medias blaming them for doing same 

Facebook faces severe waves of anger, outrage and criticism from millions of its users following the recent Cambridge Analytica data scandal in which Facebook is found to have breached its own privacy policy regarding sharing of personal data with third-party users. Facebook have leaked the personal data of almost 87 millions users worldwide and also involved in collecting details of personal phone calls and text messages from millions of android users over years through its mobile application. These series of events have raised doubts among millions of users regarding the privacy and security of their personal and sensitive data over Facebook in the upcoming future also and several users are now restraining themselves from using Facebook. Facebook is now forced to change its privacy policy with new user-friendly settings in which the users will be able to control what data they want Facebook to collect from them and what not. 

Further recent revelations by Facebook about their data collection policy is far more shocking.  The data from millions of users are collected by Facebook even if they are rarely active or have never posted in Facebook. The fact that will give a huge shock is that Facebook even collects data of millions of people who do not have any Facebook account either. A blog post by Facebook's product management director David Baser explains in what way the personal information of users are collected and shared. Different types of services comprising of social plugins, Facebook logins to other accounts, Facebook Analytics and Facebook ads and measurement tools collect users' information from their vendors who uses Facebook's services and thus Facebook also have the details of a person who does not have any Facebook account. Seems horrifying isn't it? The fact is almost everyone is tracked and recorded somehow does not matter if he/she is a Facebook user or not. Thus Facebook collects each and every data from different apps, login sites and any domain that let you share or access something with Facebook login. The types of information collected as revealed by Baser comprises of computer's IP addresses, type of browser using to access the internet, software running on computer and other material. Thus Facebook collects information from ads and in return let them serve better ads in their platform and even Facebook itself uses this information to improve their own ads and to prevent bots. After revealing everything now David Baser is blaming other popular social medias in his blog that they also do the same and not Facebook is the only one doing it. The names mentioned by him includes Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Amazon and Google. They all have different share or ads or analytics services by which they also collect information from users and almost every other websites do the same. But the fact is even if they are collecting the information they are keeping and using the information without violating privacy of the users. A business should be always done in a clean manner with clients as clients are the base of your business. But Facebook in some cases is adopting unfair means of business and trying to run a monopoly business by disabling real traffic from users' fan pages in Facebook. It will be no time that people will soon get tired of Facebook and will choose any newly developed platform over it that provides data security, marketing and an excellent business facility and revenue. We Boldink Technologies promise to offer  very soon a better social media plaform for worldwide users providing the urgent need in respect to current situation.

Need for Indian Version of Facebook

Image for representative purpose only.

The Urgent Need of an Indian Social Media Network like Facebook Developed from "Make in India" Initiative 

Following the Cambridge data analytical scandal by social media giant Facebook who breached its own privacy policy and leaked the personal data of about 87 million users, everyone is unhappy with Mark Zuckerberg and also doubt about their data security in the most popular social media in the upcoming future. Even Facebook have collected the personal phone calls and messages details from millions of android users. The co-founder of Whatsapp Brian Acton also ask everyone to delete their Facebook account right now from his official Twitter handle. The significance of his message lies in the fact that Acton had sold Whatsapp to Facebook in 2014 for a sum of $19 billion and was closely working with Facebook and Zuckerberg even after the sale as he was heading the Whatsapp division under him. Acton's comment brings in severe criticism in Twitter and other social platforms with people expressing their grievances about the handling of personal data by Facebook to third party users and many people have already stopped using Facebook and its related products due to the risk of privacy breach in future again.

The main problem lies in the fact that Facebook is the largest standing social media giant all over the world with no such competitor at its level who can grab the social market. Facebook have proved to be very useful as a social platform since years but the recent days scenario shows that its detrimental effects prevail over its usefulness. The recent changes in Like count policy of Facebook since March 2015 is affecting the business revenues of all pages by cutting-off the traffic to all pages by its own choice. The new policy do not allow more than 50-100 Likes per day to any page despite being real likes or made using genuine and paid social marketing sites and remove the extra likes after sometime. The fact is Facebook do not limit the Like count of the page as soon after it reaches its everyday target and continue to allow any number of Likes to come to the page for its own traffic and revenue generation. Now when it is time for the page owners to generate their revenue, Facebook will remove the extra likes thus depriving the page owners of their due revenue. But a notable point is that it never removes any Likes after 100+ Likes which are obtained by using Paid Promotion service of Facebook. The page owners work very hard day and night for their pages and they also spend good amount in social marketing from different vendors at affordable prices as Facebook's Social Promotion service sometimes prove to be costly at initial stages. Moreover, even if any page has million or billion likes still Facebook do not allow any advertisement on the pages but enjoy that traffic itself.

It is high time that we emphasis on the urgent need of developing our Indian version of social media network out of the "Make in India" initiative which can give a parallel competition to Facebook in the field of social media. The Mahindra Group chief Mr. Anand Mahindra in his Twitter handle proposed the development of an Indian version of similar social media startup and he is more than overwhelmed by the entrepreneurship mindset of India. He is even ready to provide support with a seed capital for this social media project. Boldink Technologies Private Limited, a newly born startup company is already working on the same idea last few months with the aim of making it a superior platform than Facebook. Boldink Technologies is not only interested to provide a social media network but also intend to provide a combined platform for developing and sharing academic knowledge and technical skills, nurturing of extra curricular skills and creativity, businesses on IT grounds with recent technological developments and lot more. We are in the initial phases of developing our model and already progressed a little with it and still a lot more effort and monetary resources are required for developing the complete platform sooner based on current need and market scenario.

Boldink Technologies hope that the leading industrialists of our country like Mr. Anand Mahindra will keep on motivating new entrepreneurs like us and will extend their kind support by assisting us with the required seed capital necessary for developing this giant platform. We are running a little delay with the work of this project due to the lack of seed capital required for initial investments at this early developmental stage. A good amount of investment have already been made out of our negligible ability and we are still continuing to keep the project progressing and badly in need of investments for completing this urgent project at earliest.

Facebook Page Like Count Policy

Image for representative purpose only.

Facebook automatically remove likes from your page and reduce the actual traffic from your page

It is really high time for us to rethink and reconsider our decision of using the largest social media platform Facebook that have always deprived us of our social media earnings, at the same time risking the security of our personal and sensitive data. Facebook is found to be involved in data leak scandal by which it has breached its own privacy policy and risked the personal data of 87 million users. Even it is involved in collecting every details of phone calls and messages from android users using the mobile application. After one incident of yesterday that happened in our Boldink Technologies official facebook page we are really reconsidering that, are we left with only one social platform for our social interactions and business pages which neither cares for your business nor of your data security. It only cares about its own business and profit neglecting the fact that its business depends entirely on the millions of common users.

Maximum people use facebook for creating fan pages, business pages and different types of other social pages depending on their purposes. The page administrators work really very hard day and night promoting their pages and in some cases they also spend thousands of rupees in social marketing to increase their page like and traffic. Facebook never allows you for advertisement in your page which can be excellent source of revenue for personal or business purposes even if you reach million likes. So page administrators try to collect the traffic from facebook page which takes lots of time, money and effort and redirect it to the websites associated with their pages thus collecting their revenue. But facebook deprived the pages of their actual traffic which often go unnoticed by us thus reducing your earnings from advertisements. It does not want you to earn the actual revenue from the traffic of your websites which can be much more than your present earning. Facebook knows that it is the biggest and main option for people as social platform to get traffic in their websites and thus it makes its own revenue from the traffic of your website by first allowing and then removing them when it is your turn to get the revenue.

According to the new policy introduced from March 2015, facebook never show the actual 'Likes' count in almost all the pages. It calculates the number of likes based upon the importance of the content of the page to a person who likes it and remove the 'Likes' irrespective of the fact that they are made by real people and not fake autolike generators or others. You can verify it yourself by liking 40-50 different facebook pages and check it again after 4-5 days. By using social marketing services of different genuine websites and spending huge time and effort, yesterday Boldink Technologies celebrated its first milestone of  1000+ Likes and we also posted a blog to thank our fans and supporters. But to the utter surprise of us after 5-6 hours of this event, the number of likes reduces to  ~650+ from ~1200+ Likes thus suddenly reducing a huge traffic from our page, making all our effort and time a vain. The question is if a page is getting real likes from hard work and paid social marketing by their administrators, then who is facebook to judge that if the content of the page is important to the person or not who liked it. It should be none of facebook's business to decide the choice or taste of its users and undo their different actions done over different pages on their own wish. 

It is really high time for us to think again over our decision to stick with facebook for our social and business needs which neither cares for our business nor of our privacy and data security of personal and sensitive data. Boldink Technologies is on the process of development of its own social media platform, initially meant for the people of India and at later stages we will make it an international social media platform. We are positive that our upcoming social media platform will provide user a better social media experience without depriving them of their business revenue and compromising with their account privacy.

Facebook data leak scandal affected 87 million users
