When using stream.publish method some facebook application developers face a common problem which is that the message is appearing on the wall while the attachment argument which is used to post media stuff like images and videos does not appear. The main problem behind this is the format of the attachment array, you should make sure that you wrote the array in the correct way, some tips are below: If you are using .Net or Coldfusion or another programming language the format of the array and array of array is not the same so you have in some languages to replace the single quotation( ' ) with double ( " ). The array is presented in some language with brace ({}) and array of array is ([{}]) So for the below example in php: $attachment = array( 'properties' => array('Votes' => array( 'text' => 'Members Voted', 'href' => 'http://blog.abusalah.info/'), 'ratings' => '5 stars'), 'media' => ar...

As recently facebook stopped supporting the feedstory publishing method to publish news on users wall and application developers from now on can't create feed templates. Facebook released a new methods to do so which are: FB.Connect.streamPublish stream.publish Facebook.streamPublish I figured out those new methods when I was building a new facebook application yesterday to predict who will win the soccer match between Egypt and Algeria tonight.

Join our Corpora Group on LinkedIn Corpus : “Corpus” is a Latin word meaning “body” [McEnery & Wilson, 1996]; hence a text corpus is any discrete body of text. The term “corpus” used in computing means a mass of electronic text, readable by machines. Corpora (the plural form of corpus) could be any form of media, such as text, speech or microfilms. Corpora are the knowledge base used in corpus linguistics, to analyze and study language. The linguistic processing of corpora is called annotation where tools like part of speech tagging, stemming or lemmatization are applied. Annotation also includes reformulating corpora into new linguistic forms [McEnery & Oakes, 1996]. Corpora applications are used in variety fields including computational linguistics, speech recognition, Information Retrieval and machine translation.

Google is apparently in the early stages of a research project that appears to aim as high as perhaps replacing the HTTP protocol, the fundamental technology that essentially makes the World Wide Web possible. In a somewhat obscure post on the Chromium blog , the development branch of their Chrome ( ) browser, Google ( ) reveals they’ve been working on a new protocol dubbed SPDY for “SPeeDY” for its goal of making the web faster.
