The popular mobile messaging application WhatsApp, acquired by Facebook last year for nearly $22 billion, has unveiled a new service for sending messages from a web browser.
WhatsApp, which claims some 500 million users, said its web service will be a "mirror" and would require an internet-connected phone to work.
"Our web client is simply an extension of your phone: The web browser mirrors conversations and messages from your mobile device — this means all of your messages still live on your phone," WhatsApp said in a blog post.

Internet marketing is one of the most lucrative methods to generate an income for an online business or traditional business.
The internet provides the ability to connect with unlimited customers in every corner of the World.
Seven invaluable tips to advise on making the most of this commodity known as internet marketing are:
1. Customer Focused Website - in order to engage and retain your customers, your website must provide a clear benefit for your customer, namely solving the issue they have searched for and found what they need to buy in order to resolve this issue. Highlight the problems they have faced and then provide the solution in the form of your products.
2. Encourage Membership and Loyalty - your customers will feel a connection to you if you acknowledge and appreciate their custom, validate their value to your business and offer bonuses or rewards following purchases made. Of course a no questions asked money-back guarantee should always be evident. Provide regular updates on new products, sale prices or discounts,
3. Provide Quality Products - don't take short cuts when it comes to your customers. Short changing them with poor quality products will prevent further sales and promote lack of referrals when these are the most important source of new income. Always give your best, answer all questions honestly, if you don't know say you don't know but then research and find the answers. Protect your name and integrity with honesty and transparency.

Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" and Disney's animated fantasy hit "Frozen" were the two most pirated films of 2014, according to a firm tracking illegal downloads.
Numerous US media, including Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, has published a list of this year's 20 most illegally downloaded movies, compiled by piracy tracker Excipio.
The firm tallied "torrent" downloads, where computer users illegally share movies and other media over the internet, for the period from January 1 to December 23, according to Variety.
Excipio said "The Wolf of Wall Street" was illegally downloaded more than 30 million times, while "Frozen" was pirated more than 29.9 million times.
In third place was "RoboCop," with a little less than 29.9 million illegal downloads, though this included both 2014's re-booted version and the 1987 original.

Jan Koum and Brian Acton have become overnight billionaires, courtesy Facebook buying their startup WhatsApp. However, things were not so great for the two till a few years ago. While Acton, who was looking for a job, faced rejection at Facebook and Twitter; Koum used to queue up for free food stamps.
Brian Acton will now finally join Facebook, which rejected him a job four and a half years ago. In a tweet on August 4, 2009, he wrote, "Facebook turned me down. It was a great opportunity to connect with some fantastic people. Looking forward to life's next adventure."
This rejection came just a few months after he was turned down by the other rising social networking star, Twitter. In a tweet on May 24, 2009, Acton writes: "Got denied by Twitter HQ. That's ok. Would have been a long commute."

The acquisition of the hot messaging service with more than 450 million users around the world stunned many Silicon Valley observers with its lofty price tag.
But it underscores Facebook's determination to win the market for messaging, an indispensable utility in a mobile era.

An annual survey of the English-speaking world's "top words" has seen "404" ("the near-universal numeric code for failure on the global Internet") take the top spot in 2013.
The survey, carried out by Global Language Monitor, doubles down on this somewhat pessimistic take on the year's events by ranking "fail" as the second most popular word.
Third and fourth place ("hashtag" and "@pontifex" respectively) both pay tribute to the continuing visibility and impact of social media, with the latter (the Pope's Twitter handle) suggesting that even more venerable institutions can gain a lot from a little bit of internet literacy.
The rest of the survey (which is collated by trawling print and online media, social networks and blogs for the most frequently used words) provides a handy reference guide to the topics that have got us most worried in the last months.
