i want 84% too

According to Fast Company Facebook is currently embroiled in a legal battle with Wellsville, NY resident Paul D. Ceglia after he sued the social networking company, claiming to have a whopping 84% stake dating back to 2003.

So I rode the Argus Cycle Challence the other day…

If you can't even ride your bike, can we do anything these days without using the world wide web? I'm guessing the answer is pretty much NO! Not if you live in the real world.

I see dead people

Upset users took to Twitter, one of Facebook’s mortal enemies?, to write about it: “Facebook just told me to reconnect with a friend of mine who died a couple years ago. Not cool, Facebook,” one user tweeted. Another says: “One of my friends on Facebook has passed. FB keeps asking me to reconnect with her... FB will never be smart enough…” And another: “Facebook just suggested that I ‘reconnect’ with someone who passed away 2 years ago. That’s so messed up.”

Have you been Poken yet? Meet – Connect – Stay in Touch

So you’re out with a group of friends and meet a few random interesting people. You ask if they’re on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter..... You get round to finally trying to find them on your preferred Social Networking site and you have forgotten their name, surname or just can’t decide which John Smith they are?

Hello, Google is more than a white screen

I search a lot and therefore made Google my home page. And if over 70% of the worlds internet traffic is going via Google, why not make it a destination rather than a launch platform?

What kind of a Facebooker are you?

Whenever I chat to people about Facebook I refer to it as a 'Necessary Evil' in SA. I'm not a massive fan of Facebook - it's a 'closed' network and also I feel that once people have re-connected and scanned photographs they then move on. I mean, if you haven't interacted IRL (In Real Life) with someone in 20 years then are you about to start now?

Face(book)lift

It’s been about a week now since Facebook launched their whole Vanity URL option and everybody seems to be talking about it. Everybody, that is, except your average, everyday Facebooker. The Facebookers who sneak on at work even though it’s ‘banned’. The Facebookers who aren’t particularly tech-savvy but just as into new, fun Internet-web (which is what my dad calls all this new fangled stuff) tricks. You know the ones.

Personalised url

With so many social networks available it's becoming necessary to 'own' your brand. For brands and individuals alike it's important to be consistent and instantly recognisable online. That's why it's generally better to use your own name online and to then make sure you use it on twitter, delicious etc and customise your linkedin url and flickr url instead of the standard random numbers.
