The Vodafone Blue Facebook phone that’s recently been launched in India appears to take the social networking scenario to a whole new level. The phone comes with the complete Facebook experience, allowing users to upload pictures, visit profiles and update their status, with a single click. In addition to this, the homescreen regularly displays updates, notifications and posts.
While the social networking features are plenty, the Blue Facebook phone also retains the qualities of a classic smartphone. It has a 2.4” QVGA screen, an optical trackpad and a QWERTY keypad making typing simple for multiple chat sessions on the social networking site. Plus, fast internet browsing is enabled by the Opera Mini 5 Web browser. Photographs which have been taken from the phone’s 2MP camera can swiftly be uploaded on Facebook. As for music lovers, FM Radio and a music player supported by a 3.5mm jack has been incorporated.
Kumar Ramanathan, Chief Marketing Officer,Vodafone Essar stated, “The mobile internet plays a central role in the daily lives of millions of Vodafone customers, many of whom are avid Facebook users.

Oprah next on Facebook Live
Harpo Productions
Facebook Live has already had an A-list roster of guests, including President Obama, former President George W. Bush, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, actors Vin Diesel and Rainn Wilson, singer Katy Perry and Microsoft’s Bill Gates.
But Facebook’s own online TV show may hit new heights Thursday when Oprah Winfrey, the former Queen of Daytime TV, comes to the Palo Alto social networking company’s headquarters for a live one-hour chat with chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg.

Still, it’s Oprah who might stand to gain from her exposure to Facebook’s audience of 750 million active users worldwide. The TV star and media mogul’s “The Oprah Winfrey Show” ended its long and successful run in May, but ratings for her Oprah Winfrey Network, launched earlier this year, have not taken off.
And while Winfrey has 6.3 million fans to her Facebook page, the Oprah Winfrey Network could use a boost because it only has 866,000 fans.
Winfrey’s appearance on Facebook Live coincides with a private meeting between her and other Silicon Valley leaders at Sandberg’s home. The New York Post has reported that Oprah is seeking some wisdom to help boost traffic to her website, Oprah.com. Traffic has dropped since the show ended.
Jeff Weiner, CEO of the professional social network LinkedIn, is one of the invited guests. Reportedly, so is Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, and Demand Media CEO Richard Rosenblatt.
Also we’re told that the meeting will include executives from Harpo, Winfrey’s TV production company, along with Susan Casey, editor-in-chief of “O, The Oprah Magazine,” which is published by The Chronicle’s owner Hearst Corp. Winfrey’s best friend Gayle King, an editor-at-large at the magazine, is also on the list.
