Get the name of a phone caller

Are unknown calls that are coming in on your phone getting on your nerves?  You know, the kind that call and don't leave messages, the kind that hang up as soon as you answer, or even the kind that leave obscene or otherwise disturbing messages?  Well, these types of calls are something you don't have to be put up with for long.  All you need to do is take that number to the website of a reverse phone directory.  But the kind of reverse phone directory you are goi... Are unknown calls that are coming in on your phone getting on your nerves?  You know, the kind that call and don't leave messages, the kind that hang up as soon as you answer, or even the kind that leave obscene or otherwise disturbing messages?  Well, these types of calls are something you don't have to be put up with for long.  All you need to do is take that number to the website of a reverse phone directory.  But the kind of reverse phone directory you are going to use depends on the type of phone number that placed the call.  If the number that has been calling you is a listed landline telephone number, you can identify this number with almost any phone directory there is.  These numbers are open for the public to identify.  This means finding out the name and address of these callers is free to discover and also widely available. But if you find out that these calls are coming in from a wireless number or an unlisted number, you will no longer have use for the free phone directories.  This is because although these directories are great for identifying landline numbers, they don't carry these same reports for unlisted and wireless numbers.  Telephone numbers such as these are a matter of private information.  So you will have to conduct your search with a reverse phone directory that purchases this data from the cellular carriers. And the upshot of this is that if you want to find out what these directories have in their databases regarding any wireless number, you are going to have to pay.  But the fee is not that much of a burden, especially considering how easy it is to find out much more information than you may expect to discover about almost mobile number. Reports are available almost immediately and the most reliable directories do a nice of job of securing every purchase with a more than generous refund policy.  The reports themselves are simple to generate from the homepage of the website.  Upon entering the site, you will see a search tool to enter the complete number that you want a report on.  Once this is done, it's just a matter of waiting a little bit for the directory to come up with a match for your inquiry.  Another screen will then display letting you know from where the number was issued and several different options to purchase the information  will be ready for you to read more about.

Free Facebook privacy scanners help you lock down your account

Some people don't mind strangers rummaging through their Facebook friends lists, wall posts, status updates, and other details of their online selves. The rest of us attempt to control who has access to our Facebook information. The recent revamp of the Facebook privacy settings makes it simpler to adjust the many settings that determine whether and how people contact you, and how much of your information they can access.

Two free online scanners put your Facebook privacy settings to the test, though they take very different approaches to how they generate their ratings. ReclaimPrivacy.org gives you a Facebook security grade in seconds without asking for any information or permissions. You have to install Connect in Private's Secure My Profile Facebook app and allow the program to access your information and settings.

Secure My Profile gives you more granular control over how and with whom you share your Facebook activities, but the program also attempts to announce its presence to your friends. As soon as I saw that pop-up attempt to post an ad to my wall when the installation finished, I couldn't get the application off my PC fast enough.

Get a Facebook privacy rating in an instant
Testing your Facebook privacy settings with the ReclaimPrivacy.org scanner is a three-step process: drag the Scan for Privacy bookmark link from the service's home page to your browser's toolbar, open your Facebook Privacy settings, and click the Scan for Privacy bookmark. The scanner opens at the top of the browser window, and after a few seconds, an icon indicates Caution or Secure, along with a link to the Facebook settings it suggests you change.

ReclaimPrivacy.org's Facebook privacy scanner warns of potential security risks to your personal information.

When I tested the scanner, the Caution alert persisted until I had reset the Facebook account's privacy options to nearly the most conservative possible. At these settings, only friends can interact with you in any way, and most of your personal information is hidden even from them.

You don't get a Secure rating in RleclaimPrivacy.org's scan until you've severely limited access to your Facebook information.

But sharing is what Facebook is all about. You can make yourself nearly invisible to all but a handful of Facebook friends, but for most people, that defeats the purpose. Part of the fun of Facebook is friending all sorts of people and enjoying the eclectic mix of status updates and other posts that are likely to scroll by at any given time.

The real value of the ReclaimPrivacy.org is that it prompts you to update your Facebook privacy settings. It seems every time I do, I end up making some change so I share a little less.

Facebook privacy app feels more like an invasion
Like many Facebook apps, you're prompted during installation of Connect in Private's Secure My Profile to grant the program permission to access your account. In fact, the scanner won't function unless you do so.

After the app finishes its initial privacy scan, it pops up a window offering to post a self-promoting ad to your wall and your friends' home pages. (Note that ReclaimPrivacy.org's scanner has a link for telling your friends about the service, but it's much less obtrusive than Secure My Profile's pop-up window.)

Connect in Private's Secure My Profile Facebook app attempts to post an ad for the service to your wall.

I declined the offer and continued the evaluation but made sure to uninstall the app as soon as it was finished. Maybe it's harsh to expect a freeware vendor not to advertise, but I prefer it do so somewhere other than my Facebook wall.

Before it runs the privacy scan, Secure My Profile asks you two general questions about how willing you are to share your personal information and your images and posts.

Secure My Profile asks you to rate your willingness to share Facebook information via five preset options.

Next, you're asked to set privacy preferences in more detail using Facebook's own presets: Everyone, Friends of Friends, Only Friends, and Only Me.

Decide on a case-by-case basis who is allowed to access your Facebook data via Connect in Private's Secure My Profile app.

After you make your selections, Secure My Profile presents a graph showing your rating for profile info, contact info, and searchability. If the ratings are low, you're prompted to reset your privacy options so they better match the preferences you set earlier.

Twitter adds option to tweet location by name

The new Twitter Places feature lets people tweet their specific location by name--whether it's the neighborhood tavern or the World Cup stadium in South Africa.

Unveiled Monday and launching in 65 countries over the next week, Twitter Places is the company's latest enhancement to its location-based tweeting service. People can now tag tweets with a specific location already stored in Twitter's database, add a new place, and see who else is tweeting from a specific area.

Tweeting location isn't a new concept for Twitter. The company's geotagging feature, which launched last year, lets people include their general address based on latitude and longitude.

But the goal behind Twitter Places, according to the company, is to let people associate a specific, recognizable name with their current location and not just a street address. The debut of Twitter Places is the result of changes to the geo API that Twitter had reportedly announced to developers in February.

To launch the new feature, Twitter has teamed up with a couple of popular location-based social-network rivals. In its official blog, Twitter said that it worked closely with Foursquare and Gowalla to let people associate a Twitter place with tweets generated by those two services. So if someone clicks on a Twitter place, the person will see a list of standard tweets as well as check-ins from Foursquare and Gowalla.

To use Twitter Places, the option to add a location to tweets must be turned on. To do so, go to one's Twitter page and click on the Settings link. Under the Account tab, there will be the "Add a location to your tweets" option next to "Tweet Location." Simply click on the box to enable it.

When posting the next tweet, there will be a link under the tweet box to add location. Click on that link. The browser should ask for permission to share location and then display the person's current city. To zero in on an exact place, click on the down arrow next to the location. There will be a list of local stores, restaurants, and other places. If one of them is a match, click on it to add to to the tweet. If not, search for more places or add a new place.

Twitter Places can also be turned off by clicking on the X next to location. Finally, names of specific places in Twitter can be searched to see who's there.

The new feature works in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Apple's Safari. I tried it in each of the four browsers. Only IE gave me problems: flashing a message that it was unable to associate my coordinates with a place and asking me to try again later.

As Twitter Places travels around the world this week, Twitter advises people to keep an eye out for the "Add your location" link below the tweet box. The company said it's also working to launch Twitter Places in its apps for mobile devices, including the iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry phones.

Starbucks brewing up free Wi-Fi at all stores

Starbucks is stirring up a few changes to its Wi-Fi access that should make Web-surfing coffee drinkers happy.

Starting July 1, the coffee brewer said it will launch free Wi-Fi access throughout all of its stores nationwide, with no special registration or account required and no limits on the time people can spend online.

Available through AT&T, the enhanced Wi-Fi improves on the current access, which is free to customers who use their AT&T accounts or Starbucks cards to log in, $3.99 for everyone else, and restricts the time online to no more than two hours.

Appearing at Wired's business conference Disruptive by Design on Monday,Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz spoke about the new Wi-Fi access as part of the company's goal to embrace social and digital media and look for new ways to bridge a customer's coffeehouse experience with the digital world.

Beyond the enhanced Wi-Fi access, Schultz also unveiled plans for a new in-store service called the Starbucks Digital Network, slated to come online this fall. Teaming up with Yahoo, Starbucks will offer customers free and unrestricted access to different paid sites and services. Content partners will include WSJ.com, iTunes, The New York Times, Patch, USA Today, Yahoo, and Zagat. Additionally, Schultz said the new network will provide exclusive content, free downloads, and local community news.

Though Starbucks has offered its limited brand of Wi-Fi service for years, first through T-Mobile and then throughAT&T, the company has lagged some of its competitors in offering unlimited free access.

McDonald's, which sells coffee alongside its thick milkshakes, added free, unrestricted Wi-Fi access via AT&T to its menu in January, while nationwide cafe chains like Panera Bread also offer instant and free Wi-Fi.

Since his return to the CEO role in 2008, Schultz has been busy trying to promote Starbucks as a spot wherepeople can work and socialize, especially online. He has spoken before about creating a third place between work and home and reiterated that point at the Wired business conference.

Given the company's track record at tapping into the online world, Schultz's new Wi-Fi initiatives may pay off. In a study from last July, Starbucks was named the biggest brand on the Web at using social media to promote itself and engage its customers.

Samsung touts new tablet, smartphones

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Tab tablet

Samsung will release its Galaxy Tab tablet no later than the third quarter of this year, revealed J.K. Shin, president of the company's mobile communications division, in an interview with The Wall Street Journalpublished Tuesday.

Based on the few specs and a photo leaked earlier this month, the Galaxy Tab will sport a high-resolution 7-inch display, making it more compact than Apple's iPad with its 9.7-inch screen. Blog site Samsung Hub (not affiliated with Samsung) said the 7-inch model will hit the market in August, and that two others may follow: an 8-inch version in October and a 10-inch edition in December.

Photos of the Galaxy Tab, tweeted by Samsung South Africa's Twitter account, reveal a phone icon on its screen, while a brief video as shown on Engadget displays a dialer, lending some credence to previous reports that the tablet will double as a phone.

The Android-based Wave will join a growing cavalcade of other tablet devices gearing up to compete with the iPad, including the current Archos 7 Home Tablet, the upcoming 5-inch Streak from Dell, and a Google OS-based tablet from Verizon.

On another front, Samsung has been seeing lower demand for some of its handset products as a result of the debt problem in Europe, according to the Journal. Shin told the newspaper that the company's two biggest pillars of growth are North America and Europe, so the European economic situation could affect Samsung's handset business in the second quarter.

As a result, Shin said the company is "cautiously optimistic" about meeting its sales target with help from its two new smartphones--the Galaxy S and the Samsung Wave.

The Galaxy S has recently started trickling into Europe with launches in the U.K. earlier this month. Its worldwide debut this summer will take the smartphone to 100 mobile operators around the world, including in the U.S. where it will be available from all four major carriers, though one rumor says T-Mobile may be first in line with a launch date of July 21.

The Wave also has already hit certain European countries but, as of yet, Samsung has announced no release date for the U.S. market.

Shin said he expects the company to sell around 1 million Galaxy S handsets each month. That should boost the average selling price for Samsung's handsets and in turn improve operating profits.

The overall global handset market should rise to around 1.2 billion units this year, followed by annual growth of 7 percent to 8 percent, Shin said. He also told the Journal he believes smartphones will become more mainstream as people transition from traditional phones, with 260 million smartphones shipping this year and 300 million in 2011.
