Facebook founder changes his status to 'in a relationship'

London, March 25 (ANI): Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has finally confirmed that he has been dating Priscilla Chan for the past seven years.

The 26-year-old has updated his Facebook status to 'in a relationship' to reflect the fact he is taken, reports the Daily Mail.

He added that the change had been "long overdue" but did not explain why he had waited so long.

Observers, however, have noted that often when couples become "in a relationship" on the social network and "engaged" status soon follows.

Zuckerberg and Chan, a Chinese-American from the Boston suburbs, started seeing each other when they were both studying at Harvard University.

Following the new update, Chan's Facebook page also revealed that the pair started their relationship on November 7, 2003, just days after Zuckerberg's infamous Facemash stunt at Harvard.

He was nearly expelled from the university after hacking into different colleges' websites and taking pictures of all the female students, placing them next to each other and asking other students to 'rate' their attractiveness. (ANI)

Delta Airlines Lets Customers Check In ; Get Flight Status via Facebook

Delta Airlines customers can now check in to flights on the company’s Facebook app.

From the Ticket Counter application, Delta customers starting today can now check SkyMiles and preview what amenities are available for various flights, too. Delta launched its its app back in August, at which time it was the first airline to allow users to book flights through the social network.

Delta also has mobile apps for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry that let users check in for flights, or get the status of a flight or gate number. However, the integration with Facebook means that it’s one less place some users will need to visit.



Using the app, which was developed by 8thBridge, boarding passes can be printed from the Facebook, just like on the website. Delta also lets users share details about their travel plans or itineraries with users over Facebook. For people who check Facebook more often than e-mail, this is a great way to share flight or trip details.

We really like the fact that you can log in to your SkyMiles account, buy tickets and print boarding passes from Facebook. But we would love to see true integration between a SkyMiles account and Facebook — in other words, an option to connect the two systems. I almost never remember my SkyMiles number, but if the two were linked, I could log in with my PIN and last name and be on my way.

Do you like the idea of checking into a flight using Facebook? Would you check in to a flight on Facebook?
