Get Your Facebook Email Address


Forgot Your Facebook Email Address?

If you use multiple mail id’s there is a good chance that you might forget your Facebook account login id. Most of the sites do have an automated method to recover your login id by making you answer your personal information and your security question. However, Facebook does not have this option.

1. If your attempts to retrieve your Facebook account fail, you might want to try to contact the Facebook team by mail and request them to unlock your account by giving them your hint question and the respective answer.

2. Alternatively, if you have not set your information details as private then you can go to your friend’s profile and check your mail id.

Google Reveals New Face


Google today launched a new look that features a navigation bar on the left side of the page. Powered by three Google tools—Universal Search, the Search Options panel and Google Squared—the left-hand side navigation bar provides users with a richer search experience that highlights the most relevant search tools and refinements for any particular query.

For example, the Search Options panel allows users to customize search results by suggesting the tools that are most relevant and helpful to the query. The second tool, Google Squared, which is available on Google Labs, helps users locate and compare entities.

Along with the new left-hand side navigation bar, Google has revamped its look and feel. The company updated its color palette and logo. The new logo is free of the heavy drop shadows and the letters seem brightened up a little. The trademark sign has also been removed.

In a post on the Google blog, VP of Search Products & User Experience Marissa Mayer said "Today's changes are the latest in our continuing efforts to evolve and improve Google.

"We've been testing these changes with users over the past few months, and what we're launching today reflects the feedback we've received."

Internet Advertising Click Fraud


USA Today reports that click fraud is becoming more prevalent these days as cybergangs increase the use of "infected PCs to divert advertising dollars into their hands."

According to the article, two separate estimates by Click Forensics and Anchor Intelligence reveal that in the first quarter of 2010 17 percent to 29 percent of clicks to online ads were fraudulent. The estimates represent a 15 percent to 25 percent increase from fourth quarter 2009.

"Most often, click fraud is the work of cybercriminals who put up websites carrying online ads and no other content," said USA Today.

"The criminals then retain the services of cybergangs in control of sprawling networks of infected PCs, called botnets, which are directed to repeatedly click on the ads. This triggers payments to the crooks who put up the Web page."

Click-fraud scammers are responsible for stealing millions of dollars annually, making it an obvious concern for big search companies. For example, Google spokeswoman Rachel Nearnberg told USA Today that the search giant allows advertisers to check for patters of fraudulent clicks. The program allows advertisers to count the exact number of clicks that are filtered out on each ad campaign. Despite their efforts, the article suggests that stopping the criminal activity is difficult to do.

According to the article, more often than not, "advertisers eat the losses."
