Leaked Document Claims Ads Coming to Facebook Messenger App.

Facebook could be soon turning its Messenger app into a marketing platform. Facebook Messenger ads in the form of messages may be coming to Facebook's messenger app as early as the second quarter of 2016.
The report, published by TechCrunch referred to leaked documents suggesting Facebook is indeed making Messenger ad-ready allowing businesses to send out ads as messages to people who have previously engaged in a chat conversation
with these companies. Although the source of these leaked documents has not been revealed, businesses are being encouraged to prepare their
audiences for the new feature to be launched this spring.
Facebook Messenger app has a monthly active user base of 800 million. And looking at the
numbers, the opportunity to market to this audience could be huge, especially for small
businesses.
From a small business owner's perspective, the Facebook Messenger ads feature will definitely prove a new experience for them and a new
way to engage with customers.
By allowing businesses to're-engage' with existing or prospective customers, it might
prove to open subtle channels leading to increased sales and revenue. These businesses will be able to reach potentially huge mobile social audiences that might not have been available to them otherwise.
Facebook has neither confirmed not denied it is developing a Facebook Messenger ads
platform. The company insists any new features would focus on improving user experience and
making sure its audience isn't exposed to unwanted content.
When reached for a comment,Facebook said,"We don't comment on rumor or
speculation. That said, our aim with Messenger is to create a high quality, engaging experience
for 800 million people around the world, and that includes ensuring people do not experience unwanted messages of any type."
Although it's likely that these Facebook Messenger ads will initially be available to only
select brands, businesses could use them to introduce new products, promote sales etc.
since this will bring them closer to their audience.
Considering the Facebook Messenger app is creeping up on the one billion mark in terms of
user base, this is the right time for the introduction of a new means of generating revenue for the platform. But time will tell
what form such a means will take.

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

​Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security.  SMS-based 2FA has a  known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to  socially engineer  an attack against your phone company.

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...
