Social media for BABIES?

It all started from a research carried out by the Dutch designer Laura Cornet, on the publication of photos of newborn babies from their parents that led to the discovery that most of the photos are published on the day after birth.

Now, your baby could post his or her first selfie with the help of a device called the New Born Fame, a stuffed toy which looks like a mobile dangling over a baby's crib. As soon as the child approaches, the system immediately takes a snapshot or a video and publish it on social network.

The device is designed by Laura Cornet, a student at the department of Man & Communication of the Eindhoven Design Academy in Netherlands. She said that the objective was precisely to create a debate on the right to publish photos of children online. 

Although many people have liked the idea of the toy, it has attracted much criticism. Given the number of positive and negative comments, Laura Cornet has achieved its purpose.

Lumia 730 captures World's largest selfie of 1151 People In Bangladesh

There was an attempt in Bangladesh to capture the world's largest selfie using the Lumia 730. The event was held at the Bashundhara City Shopping Mall on November 22.

Earlier this year Ellen DeGeneres' used a Samsung smartphone to capture the popular selfie at the oscar but could only manage a dozen.

Lumia 730 also known as the selfie phone was used to capture the world's largest selfie of 1,151 people. The selfie was captured by the 5MP front-facing camera of Lumia 730 which has a wide angle for selfie photography.

The image was posted on Microsoft Lumia Bangladesh Facebook page.

This event  is a very clever and successful propaganda for Microsoft. Microsoft is said to be waiting for an official confirmation from Guinness to enter the book of records.

If you can squeeze in 1152 individuals, do not forget to apply for the Guinness Book of Records.
