Seriously?
I am not Facebook fan..But...I love the genius people behind Facebook. They succeed to create such a program that really can change people's life.It's a real engineering. Just look on the Facebook users now, just count how many hours you will be on Facebook everyday, and look at us now...using Facebook even to post suicide note..Seriously?
I don't know...and i will never understand, what's in it, that some people can spend so many hours with Facebook. Well, i have my Facebook account and i will check it like maybe 10 minutes per day..And i never play any of the games..err..ha ha...
Some people will 'HAVE' to update their status in Facebook every single minute..Maybe it's a second life for some people, where they can create their own 'life stories' in it. It is really strange when i come across some 'friend' Facebook status which is a total lie about their life. It's just that, me and maybe some of the people know the 'real' person is, but saw a different kind of 'updates' from the same person on Facebook..Hmmm..strange..
But i do agree to post important updates on Facebook..It saves time, give exact information and yea, FREE :).. And i agree on social networking in Facebook for self employed people like me :). Its a really good platform to announce my business and do e-PR (oh i just create this term LOL )?
Maybe like announcing your newly bought metal hole saw ? Or bragging about your annular cutter maybe? Ha ha...
Young generation especially in Malaysia, now like being educated that Internet is equal to Facebook. They only use internet for Facebook. And that's really sad, our young generation will only know Facebook? When they can do a lot of things rather than spend like 4 or 5 hours with Facebook...I don't know, it's just weird...

Facebook defriend
A friend told me today that a friend of her had removed her from his Facebook Friend List. And telling everyone that he had defriend her. (That's so eww rite! ha ha)
Without knowing what she had done, until he defriend her, and telling everyone, she just trying to analyze everything and trying to figure it out. Waw, look how social media can do nowadays..someone can show off his/her childish unmature behaviour just like that..eww..defriend in facebook showing that you hate the person..ha ha..Such a funny act..well especially for a man of course..(well woman tend to be emotional sometimes..hehehee). Oh and my friend told me : 'Oh i don't care anyway, he has nothing good to do with me' Well i am kind of agree with that..ha ha..
Maybe there's a lot of pro and cons in social media, and it contribute to some emotional feeling as well. i would say that it is strange enough for some people to use online social media to express their feelings on something. Like you hate her, you defriend her. Eww! Well unless that person really had do something that threaten you and your family maybe..then that 'friend' need to be deleted- Permanently.
I am interested with the term 'Wominnovation' in social media. In this century, we can even call social media as learning toys where kids nowadays learn a lot of things just from social media. Oh back to Wominnovation, it turns out that sociolinguists have found women to be innovators when it comes to communication, especially with new forms of languages. The shift from “ye” to “you” in 15th Century England? Women were behind it. Common phrases such as, “Like, ohmigod,” known as Valley Girl uptalk, were started by young women from California. And in the mid-20th century a group of young women from Oberwart, Austria shifted the primary language of a bilingual community from Hungarian to German, which was a powerful move in a community that had resisted the influence of the German language for close to 400 years.
And there you go..we have lots of new words created fro social media shotr form. And lots of younger generation even think that its the correct word. Cannot really blame them on that rite...
Well so..yea..back to my defriended friend..i don't know how to comment..just..Uhm..for me personally, i don't care, because think again...Hey its just a social media..a second life for some people..I have my own great life..have you? :D
P/S checking if someone defriend me on facebook..hmm

7 Things to Stop Doing Now on Facebook
Well people, facebook is facebook...where we socializing with our friends, families and even strangers..But we need to know some important things that could maybe save our life...
Using a Weak Password
Avoid simple names or words you can find in a dictionary, even with numbers tacked on the end. Instead, mix upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols. A password should have at least eight characters. One good technique is to insert numbers or symbols in the middle of a word, such as this variant on the word "houses": hO27usEs!
Leaving Your Full Birth Date in Your Profile
It's an ideal target for identity thieves, who could use it to obtain more information about you and potentially gain access to your bank or credit card account. If you've already entered a birth date, go to your profile page and click on the Info tab, then on Edit Information. Under the Basic Information section, choose to show only the month and day or no birthday at all.
Overlooking Useful Privacy Controls
For almost everything in your Facebook profile, you can limit access to only your friends, friends of friends, or yourself. Restrict access to photos, birth date, religious views, and family information, among other things. You can give only certain people or groups access to items such as photos, or block particular people from seeing them. Consider leaving out contact info, such as phone number and address, since you probably don't want anyone to have access to that information anyway.
Posting Your Child's Name in a Caption
Don't use a child's name in photo tags or captions. If someone else does, delete it by clicking on Remove Tag. If your child isn't on Facebook and someone includes his or her name in a caption, ask that person to remove the name.
Mentioning That You'll Be Away From Home
That's like putting a "no one's home" sign on your door. Wait until you get home to tell everyone how awesome your vacation was and be vague about the date of any trip.
Letting Search Engines Find You
To help prevent strangers from accessing your page, go to the Search section of Facebook's privacy controls and select Only Friends for Facebook search results. Be sure the box for public search results isn't checked.
Permitting Youngsters to Use Facebook Unsupervised
Facebook limits its members to ages 13 and over, but children younger than that do use it. If you have a young child or teenager on Facebook, the best way to provide oversight is to become one of their online friends. Use your e-mail address as the contact for their account so that you receive their notifications and monitor their activities. "What they think is nothing can actually be pretty serious," says Charles Pavelites, a supervisory special agent at the Internet Crime Complaint Center. For example, a child who posts the comment "Mom will be home soon, I need to do the dishes" every day at the same time is revealing too much about the parents' regular comings and goings.
