Facebook Testing New “Subscribe To” User Feature
According to AllFacebook, Facebook is currently testing a new “Subcribe to” all the actions of a specific user feature. In fact, it may be a Twitter-like “Follow” feature which Facebook will introduce soon. You will receive notifications anytime the user takes an action on Facebook. In other words, “By subscribing you don’t miss any updates from people you subscribe to.”
If this feature extends to Pages, this would be powerful. As AllFacebook mentioned, Facebook fan page could get fans count and subscribers count with this new feature. The screenshots below illustrates how this feature works
If you have noticed this feature, hope you let us know by commenting in the comment section below.

There are Only 44 Million Active Monthly iOS Users, not 104 Million "Facebook Says"
It was just a week ago when Facebook posted that there's over 150 million active monthly users on mobile platforms, 104 million of them were browsing Facebook on the service’s popular iPhone app. This was a rather false figure, Engadget got in touch with Facebook and has updated its figures saying that there are only 44 million active monthly iOS users not 104 million. Here's what they say,
There are currently 44 million monthly active users of the Facebook for iPhone app. We recently changed the definition of mobile active users to exclude those who have only liked or commented on stream stories. Instead we are counting “active” users as people who have taken explicit actions within an application. This practice is more aligned with how we count overall active users for the site.Well, it still an impressive figure. In my opinion, the 44 Million active monthly users are using iPhone and iPod touch not iPad, as the Facebook app bugs a lot on the iPad.

"This lawsuit against some of America's most innovative companies reflects an unfortunate trend of people trying to compete in the courtroom instead of the marketplace," a Google spokesman saidMicrosoft Co-founder Paul Allen is a pioneer of computer software, he didn't develop any of the technology himself but owns the patents. We'll keep updating the post with more information as soon as we know! [via WSJ]

Facebook DisLike Button is not Real!
Some Facebook users should seen a message spread this morning telling users that there's an official Facebook DisLike button but that's not true, there's no official dislike button, it's possible that Facebook announce with such a feature!
If you got this message “I just got the Dislike button, so now I can dislike all of your dumb posts lol!!” or “Get the official DISLIKE button now” and a link at the end of the message then this means that link is a fake and don't try to click on it!
For your information, if you clicked on the link you will be redirected on a "Dislike" install page, after following the instructions in the page, you will need to give the permission to run on your account (that's dangerous), at last the app will install a Firefox add-on called FaceMod which is writtern "FaceMod - Facebook Dislike Button (The Original)".
We still don't know if it's working or not, Whatever it works or not, we advice you to stay away from any scams like this and just wait for an official button! [via Mashable]
