According to previous rumors, this smartphone is often mentioned would come with top class specifications. Apparently not stop there, based on the information that is still speculation, as reported SamMobile, Galaxy S IV is said will be packed with technology 'floating touch'. With this technology, users are allowed to access the screen simply by 'waving' their fingers on the link.

This technology is not the first present in smartphones, Sony even has used the same technology in its smartphone, the Xperia sola (as seen in the video below).

Instead of using the usual AMOLED screen, Samsung says it will use AMOLED screen that has a green and yellow material known as Green PHOLED display that is claimed to be 25% more efficient.

Well, besides the above rumors, it turns out there are other speculations of the Galaxy S IV. Flagship smartphone is rumored to be present in two versions, the first Galaxy S IV called will come with an LCD screen and uses Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset while the other 600 will use AMOLED screen and will embed Octa 5 Exynos processor made ??by Samsung itself.

After Nokia, LG Electronics and HTC, according to some industry sources say Samsung Electronics and Apple is expected to add a wireless battery charging capability (wireless charging) for their flagship smartphones�s in 2013.

Samsung is expected to adopt the Qi wireless charging technology that has been developed and implemented by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) for the next model of its flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S IV.

But it looks like the Galaxy S IV might not come with embedded wireless charging capabilities. However, users are required to purchase a replacement of smartphone backcover to access the charging pad.

Unlike Apple which is likely to adopt this wireless charging technology internally, although not yet known whether this technology will be used in the iPhone 5S is built-in or with other accessories.

Adoption of Samsung to technology Qi Wireless seems to push those technology to become mainstream in smartphones, beating what is promoted by the Alliancefor Wireless Power (A4WP) and the Power Matters Alliance (PMA).

Is this technology really going to be paired on their flagship smartphone in the future? we wait for the truth at the time the product is launched later.

EdgeRank

For those of you who (most probably) never even heard of the term "EdgeRank" before, here's a quick 101-guide on what Facebook's EdgeRank is, what it does and how it works. (especially interesting if you are an SMM (Social Media Marketing) or SEO professional.

What is EdgeRank?

EdgeRank is an ingeniously programmed algorithm invented and deployed by Facebook which allowd the social networking site to filter the News Feed for their over one billion users continually. It decides which exact new content is being displayed on the News Feed of Facebook users and what position a certain new feed gets. EdgeRank does this by comparing the authority, usefulness and popularity of people, pages, posts and pictures among many other variables.

EdgeRank "ranks Edges", looks at the particular connections it has with the particular user and then gives that "Edge" a certain ranking which is obviously mirroring the specific importance to the user. So, the most relevant and important stories, pictures and status updates will end up at the top while the lessser relevant / interesting "objects" will get a less lower place (or not a place at all).

The EdgeRank algorithm

EdgeRank uses a range of ingredients in its algorithm formula to calculate an Edge's importance to the user. The three most important ones are:

Affinity - A 1-way relationship between Facebook-user and Edge. So basically it looks at the interaction of the user and the authority posting the particular news item (likes, shares, comments, visits, chats, etc.). Is the authority a close relative or a fan-page? A friend with many other common friends or just a vague friendly connection?

Weight - A coprehensive "value-system" that increases or decreases the value of specific actions on the Facebook network. A comment for instance is seen as more valuable then a like so they get a higher value on EdgeRank's weighing-scale. Also, what kind of content is it? And how popular is it among other connections?

Time-decay - The longer an Edge is alive on the Facebook network, the higher is its time-decay. As fresh content is most important to users, time-decay as well is an important ingredient in the EdgeRank algorithm.

What makes EdgeRank important to you?

If you are a publisher, brand or promotor, understanding how Facebook ranks newsfeed items could help you optimize your campaigns to get more reach and attention. Focus for instance on comments instead of likes.

If you are a regular Facebook-user...well, it's always good to understand which ideas and concepts lie beneath that tool you use on a daily basis, just because it's interesting!

How many pages on the internet?

How many web pages on the internet?

It's not an easy task to be exact on the number of webpages on the internet, not just because there hasn't been a single body in existence that (if it's even possible) is able to keep track of the exact number of web-pages and also we should keep in mind that, the amount of content on the world wide web is growing enormously every single fraction of a second. Yet, we do know for one thing that Google by now (July 2013) has indexed more then 38 trillion individual internet web pages while some some sources in- and outside the Google corporation claim that the percentage of un-indexed and de-indexed (banned) pages is to be estimated somewhere between 18% and 24%.

If these estimations are anywhere near the actual reality, we should now have just about 45 trillion web-pages on the wild wild web in existence. Now, there's another thing to know: recent research by a group of SEO specialists showed that the average single web page size is 862 kB (kilobytes), consisting of some 16% of real (unique) content. That will give us a very rough estimate of 5,378 TB (5.4 Petabytes) of pure content which excludes data stored in millions of databases and private / corporate networks (intranets) world wide.

How much of total data on the web? I guess we'll be starting to talk Exabytes or even Zettabytes!How much of total data on the web? I guess we'll be starting to talk Exabytes and Zettabytes! In any case, more then you can read in a thousand lifetimes! Still looking for that top ranking position in the Google search engine results? Good luck! (or email me, I know how to do it!)

Facebook "Sponsored results"

Facebook Sponsored Search

In February Facebook started testing-out a Sponsored Search, a new advertising structure that works  quite similar to traditional Facebook ads as they can leverage demographics, location, connections and interests/likes, but expresses itself in a different way.

We have launched a feature that surfaces sponsored results along with the organic results when people are looking for things on Facebook. We try to show people apps and pages they�ll be most interested in.

Sponsored Search advertisements are only offered on CPC (cost-per-click) basis, not on keyword level, meaning that if advertisers wish to show up for the search term �Search engine marketing� they would target the advertisement to show to those that like similar Pages or Apps.

Advertisers can target specific search entities that they�d like to show up against, including Pages, Places, and Apps. In addition to entity targeting, advertisers can further filter their ads based on demographics, location, and connections (those who Like vs. don�t Like my page already).
