Treasure Isle harvest fruits and share them with your neighbors


Treasure Isle has announced that after you harvest your fruits you can now share them with up to 3 friends. Uses of the game are aware that fruits are used for energy and gain energy points. So this is good news for players who can now plant and grown fruits and once they are harvested, the harvest can be shared with up to 3 friends. The more fruit you have the more energy you will have while digging for treasures in Treasure Isle. 


So now growing fruit in Treasure Isle will take off, collaboration  will be the key and if you have good neighbors. You can share the fruit and share the energy.

How to use Voice Actions for Andriod


If you have an android based phone, you will be happy to learn that you can now interact with Android phones using voice actions. You can now send SMS by talking your message into your phone instead of typing it. You can also call contacts with voice actions. You can also use it to find and play music. Imagine you can now send email to friends and the whole thing by just speaking into your phone. With phones becoming more and more like your own personal computer. This takes things to a whole new level. Your phone becomes easier to operate and everything is no more more just a click of a button away but a word from your mouth away. 




How to use Voice Actions for Android. To use Voice Actions, tap the microphone button on the Google search box on your home screen, or press down for a few seconds on the physical search button on your phone to activate the “Speak Now” screen.

How to get voice actions for Android.

Send text messages

Say "send text to [recipient] [message]*"
e.g. "send text to Allison Miller Running late. I will be home around 9"


Get directions
Say "navigate to [address/city/business name]"
e.g. "navigate to the DeYoung Museum San Francisco" or "navigate to 1965 Page St."

FrontierVille 29x29 Homestead Expansion

FrontierVille 29x29 Homestead Expansions have arrived. You will be able to find the new expansion quest in the market with an early unlock on 7 horseshoes. If you do not have 7 horseshoes to spare you can buy them for $1, or better still if you haven't used the free Facebook credits you got. you can use your free Facebook credits to buy the 7 horseshoes and get an early lock. You can then start your 29x29 homestead expansion. So head on over now to the market place in FrontierVille and get your 29x29 expansion. There is also a minimum requirement of three neighbors. Once you get the expansion you have to go through a series of five special quests before the land is actually expanded. Will be updating what those five quests are ASAP. The last expansion available on FrontierVille was 24x24. So 29x29 is really good for players who need more space to make their homestead into the ultimate goal "A Frontier Town". 


Below is the teaser offered by FrontierVille


Howdy Pardners! Did you know that in 1803 the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory expanding the country by 828,800 square miles? With these new expansion quests I’m sure to get myself more of that untamed frontier with pristine timber and plenty of wildlife just waitin' to be refined!

Twitter launches who to follow: Get more followers and find new ones to follow

Twitter has launched "who to follow" worldwide. It was rolled out in stages and now everyone has got who to follow. If you Tweet with regularity and are consistent. Twitter is definitely going to recommend Tweeps to follow you. This also ensure that a lot of active accounts are now going to get a huge number of followers.

The best part is if you are looking for who to follow and you see someone recommended to you in the sidebar. you can follow from right there. You do not need to go the person's personal page to follow the user. If you want more than the two suggestions that are bing shown you can click on the "View All" to get a whole list of new people for you to discover and follow. Facebook and Linkedin already have this feature and it has been functional for a long time. Facebook suggests you friends you might already know and Linkedin shows you professional people you might be connected with through your contacts.

Twitter however is a little different as it has always been. The suggestions being thrown up are pretty solid and good. They are showing you people who are worth following and who you can learn something from. This has really spiced things up in Twitter. This new engine of theirs called "who to follow" has really mixed things up for the good and putting people together based on likes and interests in a really effective way. This should have been done long ago. My first suggestion was a popular someone from Mashable and I was not surprised. Good one Twitter.

Whats the difference between Facebook and Twitter

Let's start by saying that a lot of features from Twitter have been implemented on Facebook. This has been called the Twitterfication of Facebook. That said let's look at some of the key differences between the two. Facebook is for networking and cathing up with old friends. Facebook will also help you find your classmates from years ago. You can find all friends and family and you can all get together on Facebook and catch up.


Twitter was started with the question what are you doing?. Now the question has been changed to What's happening?. Well whatever be the question. People gather on Twitter and share news and talk about the latest happenings in the world today. Twitter is more for news addicts and people who are interested in sharing with any and everybody.
If you want to join social networking and all you want to do is hang around with your buddies online then Facebook is for you.
if you want to get involved in current events and activities around the world today then Twitter is for you.
Twitter is not a social network in that sense. Getting in touch with friends and family and sharing photos and videos. Twitter is very open and everything you say can be seen by everyone unless you want to have a protected profile and your Tweets are protected. People who are so concerned about privacy should not be on Twitter in the first place.


So bringing this brief post to a close it is safe to say Facebook is for friends and buddies. Twitter is for news and connections.

How to Sync your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch with iTunes



To update your Apple device you need iTunes. iTunes let's you backup, update, delete or upload your media to your Apple device. If your using iTunes 7 and higher. Syncing happens automatically each time you connect your device to your PC. Please find below a step by step guide from Apple on how to go about syncing your device with iTunes. 

When you connect your device to your computer, items automatically sync according to your preferences set in iTunes. You can, for example, enter email addresses of friends and family members on your computer, connect your device to sync, then unplug it and tap a friend's email address on the touchscreen to email them.

You can sync


  • Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and so on

  • Calendars—appointments and events

  • Notes (sync with Mac OS X Mail* or Microsoft Outlook)

  • Web bookmarks

  • Music and audiobooks

  • Photos

  • Podcasts

  • Movies and TV shows

  • Applications

  • Ringtones (iPhone only)

  • Books

  • iTunes U content




Note: On iPad, you can also sync documents via File Sharing with apps that support it.

You only need to set which items are synced in iTunes on your computer once. After that, just connect your device to start a sync.

Contacts, calendars, notes, and bookmarks are synced from (or to) your computer, so if you add, change, or delete them on the device, they are changed on your computer, and vice versa. You can also sync contacts with your Yahoo! or Google Address Book.

Email-account settings, music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and photos are synced one-way, from your computer to your device (though you can import photos taken with iPhone to your computer and you can transfer purchases from your device to iTunes). Using an iPad, you can send photos back to your computer (typically captured on iPad via the Camera Connection Kit).

If you like, you can set your device to sync with only a portion of what's on your computer. For example, you might want to sync only a group of contacts from your address book, or you may want to sync only songs from certain playlists so you don't fill your device with your music.


* Syncing is over USB only and on a Mac requires Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later.

Set up syncing



You use iTunes on your computer to choose which items to sync. Make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes (on a PC, open iTunes and choose Help > Check for Updates. On a Mac, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Check for Updates.)

1. Connect



  1. Connect your device to your computer using the included cable. By default, iTunes opens automatically.

  2. Select your device in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side and click the Info tab.


2. Choose which items to sync


Click the respective tabs in iTunes to specify which media and information you want to sync from your computer to your device.

For more information about syncing your device with your computer, see the User's Guide:


3. Sync


Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen. Your computer syncs with your device according to your settings.

The first time you sync your device, you are asked if you want to merge data, replace data on the device, or replace the data on your computer. When you choose to merge information, any differences between the data will be mingled together. If you choose to replace information, information from either the computer or device will overwrite the information on the other. These options can not be undone. After that, anytime you connect your device to your computer, iTunes opens and syncs with your device according to the settings in iTunes.

You can adjust sync settings any time your device is connected to your computer.


Note: Syncing won't delete any contact in Yahoo! Address Book that contains a Messenger ID, even if you've deleted the contact from your address book on your device or your computer. To delete a contact containing a Messenger ID, log in to your Yahoo! account online and delete the contact using Yahoo! Address Book.

How to Backup your iPhone, iPad or iTouch using iTunes.

iTunes represents your media library. All the media on your PC is organized once your download iTunes to your computer. If therefore for any reasons you would like to backup your device. iPhone, iPad or iTouch. You can save all your media in iTunes. Syncing your device to iTunes will help you do this automatically. Below are some instructions for users to help you accomplish this. This post is in response to our earlier post on how to update your device with the new iOS 4. Basically you need to save all your media on your device before installing the new iOS4. Use iTunes to get all your media stored and then update. 



To further discuss this please leave comments.



Long version (meant for OS X but Windows users should be able to figure out the differences):


  1. Open iTunes

  2. Go to Preferences

  3. Choose Devices

  4. Select the iPhone you want to back up

  5. Remove the iPhone backup (press the Delete Backup button)

  6. Press OK and exit Preferences

  7. Exit iTunes and disconnect your iPhone

  8. Reconnect your iPhone and open iTunes if it doesn’t open automatically

  9. Sync your iPhone


Thats it. You now have a fresh backup of your iPhone. Have fun.



Apple has this to say about backing up your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch device with iTunes.




Your device is backed up by iTunes each time you:



  • Sync with iTunes (automatically on the first sync, every time you connect it to the computer)


  • Update in iTunes (occurs automatically without prompting)


  • Restore in iTunes (prompts you to create a backup before the restore process begins)


Although iTunes backs up most of your device's settings, downloaded applications, your audio, video, and photo content are not included in the backup.

If restoring from an iTunes backup, your device settings, downloaded applications, audio, video, and photo contents will re-sync to the device because the "Sync" option under the respective tabs will be checked in iTunes when restoring from a backup. If you choose to restore your device as a new user, downloaded applications, audio, video, and photo content will not be synced until you select the "Sync" option in iTunes under each tab.


You can manually back up or restore your iPhone or iPod touch from a backup. To do so, Control-click or right-click the iPhone or iPod touch icon on the left side of the iTunes window and choose Back Up or Restore from Backup*:



iTunes will not offer the option to restore from backup if no backups have been performed prior to accessing this option. For a list of content that iTunes backs up, as well as more information about backups, see iPhone and iPod touch: About backups and iPad: About backups.

* Restoring from backup is different from performing a full software restore. Restoring from backup restores the settings, application data, and other information saved in a previous backup. Performing a full software restore will delete the contents of your device and restore it to the original factory settings. More information about the "Software Restore" function is below.

FrontierVille Goals Mastery Guide

Hey there, homesteader! If you're a FrontierVille fan, you're going to need this guide.

Why?

Well, one of the surprising things about FrontierVille is that it's got no place for players to see or display their achievements. Most games supply a way for players to proudly display, and keep track of, in-game milestones. These could come in the form of ribbons (FarmVille), medals (Happy Aquarium), statues (Pet Society), etc.

Without this future knowledge, you can't anticipate tasks, so you can't plan ahead to make sure you've got everything you need.

In FrontierVille, achievements are called "Goals", and they seem to appear and disappear like the wind. Sometimes, there can be as many as three goals at once. Sometimes, until you clear one goal, you can't see what the next one may be. Some goals can only be completed through sheer chance. Another annoyance is that you could complete a task, but be forced into a do-over, just because you did it before the goal showed up and told you to!

There are probably over a hundred tasks in the game at this point, divided into about 30 main goals. And now, we've made it our mission to report every one.

For those of you who are not too familiar News Feed and Wall Settings are completely different. News Feed is the page you find when you login to Facebook. This is the place where all your friends stories and activities are posted. You find all their comments and you see post and comments by friends and friends of friends. 


Your wall however is you personal space on Facebook. it's where friends can come to find out specifically about you. To leave you a message or post on your wall or see what you've been up to. All of this is stored on your wall. As far as personal info goes all your stuff gets stored on your wall. You access you wall when you click on profile on the top left hand corner. This is not the same as your news feed.


OK, so once your familiar with your wall and those of your friends. When you click on a friends profile you are taken to their wall and you have options there to find out their recent activities and info they are willing to share. Like where they are working and groups they belong to and Pages they like. 


When you click on your profile and go to your wall. Just below the share bar. You see something like this.

There are three options as you see [your name+friends], [Just Your Name] and [Just Friends]. The purpose is if you choose the first option everyone can see your wall info. If you choose the second option only you can see whats on your wall. Other people clicking on your profile will come to your page but not be able to read your wall. Clicking on the third option means only your friends can see what's on your wall. Friends of friends will not be able to read what's on your wall.


If you click on the settings button you are provided with further options. Check the screenshot below





In Stories posted by you, you have further options of importing stories to your wall. You can then share this on your news feed too. You can import stuff from YouTube, Flickr, Delcious, Yelp, Hulu and the rest of the sites mentioned above.


In Profile story comments if that box is checked. When a friends visits your wall all comments on your Wall posts are in the expanded form.


Stores posted by friends you can choose to allow friends to post to yur wall which is a default setting. If you do not want friends to post to your wall just uncheck that box.


Who can see posts made by friends. That is the option seen above. By clicking on the link with the lock you can further set your Facebook wall privacy. Click on the Friends only link and then click on customize to get the options seen in the screenshot below.





Here you can choose to make your wall visible to only a few people or even hide it from certain people. You can also choose the option to make this visible only to you. Choose your settings carefully as your wall is very important and represents what you are and do on Facebook
