You don’t have to worry about the intelligence agencies or a group spies watching every move you make, especially if you are a politician and more importantly visiting a foreign country. Why? Well you have got bloggers ready to punch in a story and slap it to their blog if you give them a chance to do so. The most recent example is of a Belgian Minister of Defense Pieter De Crem who happened to visit a local bar in the New York City had his drunk hang out blogged down by Nathalie Lubbe Bakker, a bartender there.
The politician wasn’t pleased with this and made sure that he does something to take revenge and had her fired by calling her boss; which he so obviously denies. Full story...
I have all the praise for Facebook, from being the leading social network that has mashed up every aspect of networking into one platform to being a tool for brands to keep consumers occupied.
We are removing the product from Facebook, at least for now: says the page for Lexicon.
Everyone will join Facebook, because everyone else is. You will because all your friends are there on the social networking platform and brands will because the competitors are jumping in.
It was only last week when we reported that Sid Meier’s Civilization, the famed strategy game on PCs was set to step onto the Facebook platform in June.
While Microsoft has really brought the Facebook experience to the desktop in the most complete manner with its Silverlight Client for Facebook, it did miss out one important aspect: Facebook Chat.
There you go, I thought Facebook will be the only one being infected by Zynga.
Time goes by pretty quick, I still remember very clearly that I started my university around the same time when Facebook was launched and Orkut was reigning supreme and so was MySpace.
Why doesn’t it surprise me, or does it even surprise anyone around when Hitwise reports of Facebook being the largest platform for reading news? Now it might be following the likes of Google, Yahoo and even MSN at number four, the point why I would consider it even more important is the fact the top three are search engines and they direct traffic back to the source sites.
I always find it interesting to browse through YouTube for funny videos on anything.
I seriously don’t want to imagine the world without Internet, primarily because it would cut me off from the entire world and blogging.
