Choose Correct Picture Size for Facebook Timeline

Facebook a Biggest Social Network in the World .Facebook has made Timeline now  available for everyone who use facebook. One of the best special thing about Facebook timeline is its Cover where you can show a quite large size of yours picture BUT one must know how to choose the correct size of the picture for Facebook Timeline. 850x315px (width x height)is the exact size for Facebook timeline. You should crop a picture to 850x315px to create a correct timeline cover. Below you can see the specifications about the timeline facebook in video.










What is the minimum width of the Cover Photo??


It is mentioned at the Facebook FAQ that timeline cover image must be at least 720 pixels wide. Images with smaller size will get upload errors So, However, when i tried, i come to know that we CAN upload an image for cover at least 399px wides. So, if you were upload 399px wide picture, Facebook will zoom this picture to fit in the timeline covers.

What if you use cover photo of any other size??


Well, the Facebook would not allow you to upload any image below 399px however if you were upload a cover photo of any other size, Facebook will automatically resize or crops the image to fit the picture into your timeline cover and you may see an out-of-pixels picture, so its better to choose cover photo with 850x315px size.

Can other people save Cover Photos???


Your's Cover Photos are the publicly visible and can be saved by anyone else (friend, blocked friend, public etc). Actually, Facebook will only display a selected portion in the Cover photos (which is the virtually cropped) and whenever someone will save yours cover picture, he/she will get the full uncropped image e.g. if you upload a big full size photo of yourself, and then decide to make the heads as you cover photo, people saving the image can see the full image. So its a good idea to upload the exact size.

Half Of The Facebook Shares Sold For Few Bucks

Paul Ceglia may just be a con man, or he may turn out to be the greatest tech investor who ever lived. After all, anyone who invested early in Facebook looks like a genius today. Peter Thiel turned his initial $500,000 investment in Facebook into a 10 percent stake that would be worth at least $5 billion today at the latest $50 billion private valuation. Facebook investor Jim Breyer of Accel Partners tops Forbes’ Midas List. And now we have Paul Ceglia, a convicted felon who claims that Mark Zuckerberg sold him half of Facebook in 2003 for $1,000, and he has the contract and emails to prove it. He later put in another $1,000 for a total investment of $2,000, but if he gets anywhere close to what he’s asking for (half of Zuckerberg’s share, which could be worth as much as $10 billion), he could go down as the best tech investor in history.

The purported emails, which Facebook says are fake, look pretty damning. They paint a picture of a young Zuckerberg playing Ceglia for some extra cash to help develop Facebook when it was only a dorm room project (Zuckerberg was doing work for hire for another Ceglia project, and got him to fund development of Facebook as well, at least according to Ceglia’s latest complaint). Facebook will either end up fighting this in court or settling with Ceglia for a princely sum just to take the risk of the lawsuit off the table.

Whatever happens, this incident holds several lessons for any would-be entrepreneur or engineer. In the video below, angel investor and Hunch co-founder Chris Dixon and I discuss what every founder needs to know before they give away any part of their company. The decisions made in the first 6 month usually end up being the most important. The biggest takeaway from this incident: Don’t ever sell half your company for $1,000.

Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg Embraced Islam

Mark Zuckerberg

Just when you have the world figured out a tiny bit, things like this make you stop dead
in your tracks. On April 1st unofficial dropped this news bomb on avid internet users
that the CEO of Facebook, the very wealthy and quite young, Mark Zuckerberg has
converted to Islam and will henceforth be known as Mark Abu-Bakar!
Most blogs and websites containing content on this topic also have a statement from
Mark Zuckerberg saying that he wanted to convert to Islam for a long time. After making
the decision of shutting down Facebook for 24 hours on October 2nd, he took some
time out to think about how things are in his life. The best part being that he converted
online, using a conversion application on Facebook and that the head quarters of
Facebook may be shifted to Afghanistan.
This news was received differently by different people. Some Muslims were happy and
believed that now there will be no anti-Islam pages and such on the social networking
site. Others thought that it was just an April Fool’s joke, which was not really funny, to
say the least. However, “unofficial” sources reported that the owner of Apple Computers
Steve Jobs respected Mark’s decision and gifted him an iPad Nano to show support.
Some even went as far as to say that Steve Job will be converting to Islam after a while
too
