Rapper Lil Wayne has broken the Guinness World Record for most Facebook likes on a single post in 24 hours — a record only too recently created and briefly held by Oreo. Yesterday, Oreo attempted to set the record with a post to the brand’s Facebook Wall. The post read, “‘Like’ this post to join Oreo fans around the world in setting a Guinness World Record for most “Likes” to a post in 24 hours. Oreo is the world’s favorite cookie, and with your help, it will be the most ‘Liked.’” Shortly after that post surfaced, Lil Wayne announced to the world that he was also going after the Guinness World Record for most Facebook likes in 24 hours. At the end of the 24-hour period, Oreo had 114,619 likes; five hours later, when the rapper’s 24-hour period had expired, his post had 588,243 likes, easily trumping Oreo’s bid for the Guinness World Record. (Though the company was honored for its brief record in a Guinness ceremony this morning.)Around 16.7 million Facebook users “like” Oreo’s page on the social network; Lil Wayne’s fanbase weighs in at 20 million Facebook users strong. However, the high level of engagement between Weezy and his fans tipped the balance in his favor.
Mazy Kazerooni is Lil Wayne’s
digital manager. He told us
yesterday that the stunt was
intended to show off Lil Wayne’s
social media chops. “I want
people to think ‘Bieber, Gaga and
Lil Wayne.’ The traffic we do is
ridiculous and no one really
knows,” Kazerooni said.
There’s a valuable lesson in this
exercise for social media
marketers; although the brand
failed to accomplish its goal of
holding onto a world record, it
did get a ton of brand
recognition and positive press
along the way. Still, a brand, no
matter how delicious, endearing,
or ingrained into the American
experience, is unlikely to have the
Pied Piper-like pull of an
internationally known star.

Nokia phone certificate installing
By default Nokia phones come out with some certicate like Verisign, Thawte, Nokia, Geotrust, GlobalSign etc. You can add more certificate even not using any PC help. Just download a zip file from this link and extract it with java MIDlet like BlueFTP, MiniCommander or any other. Now you keep the install_certificate.html (inside archive) and the certificate (.cer file) with the name certificate.cer into a same folder. Now open the install_certificate.html file click "install" to save it to your certificate list.
How to trick with mobile maximum jar size
I think Nokia is best mobile device for managing file. Almost all nokia file manager (Gallery) shows file extention by default. On most phone there is no option to stop it. And its a nice clue for this job. Application programmers also very fond of Nokia, as they often release programs specialy for Nokia. Nokia provides JVM (Java Virtual Matchine) that launches J2ME MIDlets to expand handsets capblity by installing new programs. On s40 series Nokia security guard checks out the phone's cablity by performing some action. Just as hiding copyright protected files copy, delete or send option. It also bounds action on java programs. It limits the application size according to handsets capablity to load. Some phone does not start downloading jar or jad (size mentioned of the jar) file or if even downloads, after that it shows a capablity error message if the file exceeds maximum jar size that does not accepts your phone. I found that this restriction can be easily ignored. For that don't download the MIDlet using phones default browser. Download it with other file downloader MIDlet like UC WEB, DM Mobile or Thor's Mobiget j2me MIDlet. Just ensure that the file name has no "." sing even not ".jar". If there is any "." symbol remove it with other programs like FileExplorer, BlueFTP, MiniCommander or any file manager programs. You do it because the phone detects the last "." symbol as the file extentions "." symbol and you must ensure that the file has no extention. Now use your phones file browser (Gallery) and set the cursor on it and rename it with like "filename.jar". Now its done. Now wonderly see that the file has become a j2me MIDlet with an icon. Now you can run any java MIDlet of any size exceeding the default maximum jar size.
