I was in the makeup room with Wolf Blitzer as the news of the mystery New York Times op-ed was breaking. It was fun to visit the studio here in Washington. ![]() You’ll have to watch the interview to learn more. We discussed our new app ecosystem, why it’s so interesting for developers, and how we empower people with their data if the data is already “out there” (a question I get all the time). She’s done quite a lot of stories on how our data and privacy is being abused by the big platforms, so it was refreshing to see her interest in solutions like ours. I thought she was going to focus on the Congressional hearings earlier in the day with Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook and Jack Dorsey of Twitter, but she really wanted to understand how works. I had the chance yesterday to speak with Paula Newton on CNN’s Quest Means Business.

TFP is an important first step in that effort. Understanding our digital footprint is essential, especially content that we created ourselves. You can then edit or delete any posts you find concerning, especially those from your middle school years before you became the enlightened person you are now. It uses a library of over 3,000 words and phrases that get matched privately against your entire history of social posts from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and Flickr. ![]() Like the name suggests, TFP helps flag social media posts of yours that might be considered vulgar or offensive. We are incubating it now inside the Social Safe Incubator, and have a small team from the University of Michigan working on it with us. Why not download Socialsafe for free.One of my favorite apps that has come out of our hackathons is TFP (as in That F’ing Post). If you would like to back up 4 social media accounts for free. Don’t take a chance with your online memories – back them up once, relive them forever. Simply download the free trial and start backing up your online social life today.Īfter all, if your Facebook account were to bite the dust overnight (and believe us, it can happen), there isn’t anything the iCloud will be able to do to retrieve your chats with friends. With SocialSafe, backing up your messages is quick and easy, and you’ll also be able to browse and search through your entire Facebook message history offline. If you communicate via Facebook a little or a lot, you might well be looking for a way to download all your Facebook messages. However, when you begin to drift away from using a communication medium that is being backed up automatically (text messages), how many of you think about keeping copies of the new messages you are sending and receiving? People were thrilled when Apple brought out the iCloud which allows users to automatically sync their contacts, text messages and other content to a separate backup drive just in case their iPhones were stolen, lost, or the data accidentally deleted. ![]() And with Facebook sprucing up the chat interface and becoming more prominent on mobile phones – think Facebook Home and Chat Heads – it’s becoming more common to receive a Facebook message than a text for a lot of people. Some people live in areas of intermittent phone signal, but if they are connected to a WiFi network they can carry on sending messages to individuals and groups of friends, indiscriminate of the device owned by the other people (eg Apple users being able to use WiFi to send iMessages). For me, I have a brother who lives in Singapore and we use WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger to send messages and chat in real-time for free. There are several reasons why someone may do it, each as valid as the other. ![]() Today I came across a couple of articles that reinforced a point that has been becoming increasingly apparent lately – people are sending text messages less and less frequently, instead opting to use 3G or WiFi based messages on services such as WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.
