It targets a very specific customer base, and for the price, the Lumia 625 isn’t a bad choice at all. Here’s the specs and features of the newly launched Nokia Lumia 625!

Facebook purges physical goods from online gift shop
Facebook has
announced plans to purge physical merchandise from its online gift
store less than a year after launching the service. The social network
envisioned Facebook Gifts
as being a one-stop shop for items like chocolate bars, cupcakes and
stuffed animals that could be gifted to friends and family but the
reality of the matter is that said items only accounted for 20 percent
of sales.
Moving forward, Facebook Gifts will focus on its bread and butter –
digital gift codes and Facebook’s own physical card. The Facebook Card
was introduced early this year as a reusable gift card that can be
redeemed at a number of real-world retailers including Jamba Juice,
Olive Garden, Sephora and Target, just to name a few.

contributors can then invite others to the album as well.

TWITTER TIPS
Below
is a listing of our top 10 favorite Twitter tips and tricks. These tips
will help make your Twitter experience more enjoyable and can help
increase your followers.
Customize
- Change your profile picture. Use a picture of yourself to make it seem more personalized if this is your personal Twitter account.
- Utilize as much of the 160-character limit Twitter BIO space allows. Include keywords your followers or potential followers may be searching for.
- Create your own background image. However, do not make the image too much like an ad or sales pitch. The background image must be less than 800k and we recommend a size of 1600x1200 for a large image or smaller if you plan on tiling the image or just having it on the left-hand side. Finally, keep in mind that smaller resolutions and monitor sizes will hide much of the background.
