Facebook Places

fbplace

 

Facebook have launched their latest feature..Places .Its like Foursquares where users get to share their location, what’s good, what to do opening up a new dimension to its services. There have been some debate that facebook has reached saturation point but this new feature should help re-ignite that in the countries where people think users are getting bored with this network 

Foursquare had to start form zero but Facebook has the truck loads to start with and it should be interesting to see which come up on top in 6 months time maybe?

Jaguh Kampung

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

If you are a regular on my blog, you surely know that im a supporter of our national badminton team. Personally i felt that this installment of the Thomas Cup, we had the best chance in a while to regain the throphy we last won in 1992 but after watching the team crash to Japan and barely beat the Danes, it makes me wonder if we have what it takes to crack it.

A friend brought me to the attention of the mental state of the team and the player i personally am not the biggest fan of, Hafiz Hashim , why..because i dont see the sense of urgency in his game and the way he responds to his defeat tells me that its ok to lose, and the team is not to be blamed..yes i know the team is not to be blamed but at least show some emotion that you will try harder and make it happen?!

Anyway, this is what he posted on his facebook profile has this to say after loosing his game against a opponent who is about 200 positions below him in the world ranking (its removed now, thank god i got a print screen :P ) ->


And the fellow Jaguh’s chip in.. (more…)

Socially Stalked

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

This is a post i did for the VanityShack :)

Are you a face book junkie? Its become a bit of a norm for most to log into face book as the first web site when  first web site as soon as you start up your pc. Updat ing your sta tus on what you did or what you plan to do or even what your thoughts are on cer tain issues. Then you browse around your friends pro­files to see what they been up too and leav ing a com ment or 2 while your at it.

The “wiser” few who dont show up at work tak ing the infa mous mc but really they were just tired from wthe exten sive par ty ing over the week end or had other plans that put going to work on the back seat. This smart act has got a few lucky ones fired from their jobs ‚for get ting that their boss or their bosses, boss who are on their friends list.

Face book is a stalk ers boon from the gods above. Many have suc cumbed to stalk ers and have cause them giv ing up their social pres ence which is as hard as stop ping smok ing for some. So my advice to you socialn net work junkies, go slow on broad cast ing your activ i ties. Know who your friends are and dont add peo ple you dont know. Its not a pop u lar ity con test, its a social network!

Here’s a story of Dylani Shea who hit the delete but ton on her face book pro file after get ting stalked by cus tomers from where she works. (more…)
