Breaking News: Facebook Shuts Down Third Intifada Group

MARCH 29, 2011 13:40 BY ALEX MARGOLIN

Despite previous statements saying they would monitor but not remove the controversial Facebook group calling for a Third Intifada, Facebook administrators shut down the group early Tuesday morning in response to enormous pressure from pro-Israel activists. All links to the group now go to users personal Facebook profile.

The group had been calling for a march on Israel to “liberate” Palestine beginning on May 15. It remains to be seen how Facebook will respond if similar groups emerge with similar message of a Third Intifada.

New media expert Andre Oboler, one of the first to discover the group was down, told HonestReporting that Facebook made the correct decision shutting down the group.  “It’s about time,” he said. “Facebook needs to learn to distinguish between the right to ‘attack’ conceptual ideas, and the ‘wrong’ of attacking people be it because of their race, religion, nationality or political view. When they start to understand that, perhaps they will stop making so many mistakes.”

Google Maps Gets Bird's Eye View

Google Maps Gets Bird's Eye View

A few months ago, Google launched 45° imagery for select cities through its Google Maps API. In February, Google launched this new way to browse maps as an experimental feature in Google Maps Labs and starting today, this bird's eye view imagery will be available for all users by default. These high-resulution images - which are currently only available in a select number of cities in the U.S. and South Africa - will automatically appear once users zoom in to an area while in satellite mode.

For Bing, a similar bird's eye view feature has long been one of the differentiating features of Microsoft's mapping product. For the time being, Bing's bird's eye view is available in more places, but otherwise, the feature sets of Google's and Microsoft's products are very similar. Just like Bing Map, Google also allows users to rotate images and see a location from different angles, for example.

Overall, this is nice update to Google maps, as it allows users to zoom in closer and see buildings and other locations with more detail. As Google's Randy Wilson - a member of Google's Imagery Team - notes, "even when looking at familiar areas, seeing driving directions overlaid on 45° imagery will give you a whole new understanding of the neighborhood."
