Myspace On The Bidding Block

Posted onAuthorTruXter

The Largest most popular website ever is now up for sale. Yep the one that didn’t have a movie tell you it was the most popular site. The one that didn’t have a million movie stars tell you it was popular. It just was popular. It is now up for sale.

Could we now see a take over from Zuckerberg?

Either way, Facebook crushed Myspace two years ago with a heavy campaign “try me everyone else has” or ” love us because famous people love us” or the ever so funny one that makes me laugh when I see it ” I’m too cool for you to join my site, only cool funny people come here” tactics bombarded television and radio. and with every one of those came ” Stupid myspace, it’s so gay” meanwhile facebook is everything you hated about Myspace. Friends with 1000000001 requests to join their game, tons of spam, “here install this (virus) to see who is looking at your facebook account”. It’s all there . Everything that was on myspace is on facebook. But so many people got sold to the advertisements, they actually believed it was their opinion. And then News Cop (owners of Myspace) made a bonehead move and totally and completely bloated the website with some stupid top and bottom menu. Now there is no reason to stay there, you can not navigate that site.

So all we have now is the least Social Network, facbook.

FACEBOOK Privacy Issue yet again.

Posted onAuthorTruXter2 Comments

FACEBOOK Privacy Issue yet again.

Got this on my Facebook account today. From one of the less techy people on my friends list.
They talked about this coming for some time. Well it’s here.
Privacy issues.

FYI: ALERT* As of yesterday, NEW PRIVACY setting called “Instant
Personalization” that shares data with non-Facebook websites and it is
automatically set to “Enable.” Go to Account >Privacy Settings >
Applications and Websites >Instant Personalization > Edit or
customize Settings, and un-check “Enable”. BTW, if your friends don’t do
this, they will be sharing information about you. PLEASE
POST THIS TO FACEBOOK

One of the downsides is this can and probably will lead to many accounts getting stolen once this is exploited by the curious.
Another thing is, your friends might not fix their stuff because they aren’t worried about it.
Ever get that phone call from a fake debt collector who actually names people you know?
It’s easier than most people think.
There is a scam going on where some people are Calling people and saying that you have a friend who got a loan and used you as a reference and they even say your friend’s name. They tell you that you are responsible for their loan and debt. How do they get your friend’s information? how do they get your name ? How did they get your phone number ?
Look at your privacy settings on facebook. You most likely have your phone number visible to everyone, or friends of friends. All they have to do is get your friend to add them. Then they dig through their friends and see who’s phone number is showing. Another scarier one is they tell you that you got a loan and they mention your friends and family members if you have them categorized.

People, Facebook is not holy ground safe from the evil. Yes you had more safety on myspace. More spam on Myspace, but that is slowly changing now… Isn’t it ?

Look, it’s not just your safety and security and privacy, it is your friend’s safety and privacy. If you feel that it’s just paranoid blah blah, at least change your settings for your friends. but truth is, in the end, you will never know it’s your fault.

Mark Zuckerberg Rumored Buying Myspace

Posted onAuthorTruXter2 Comments

Story is that Mark Zuckerberg is buying Myspace.
I don’t see it happening. I see the chance that Mark and crew might implement even more stuff like Myspace content to their site, but not a buy out.
but the rumor says that Mark Zuckerberg and crew are going to bring it in, all Myspace links will still work, and there will be a slow gradual change of advertisements from Google adsense to the Facebook platform of advertisements.
Also within this rumor is the chatrooms will be brought back. Your existing Facebook profile and Myspace profiles will then merge, you have the option of which one . I doubt that. I see Facebook not wanting anything but their own.

I personally would like to see Myspace buy out yahoo or merge with Yahoo. and run Yahoo advertisements. Have you ever seen Yahoo’s chatrooms? Spam farm. They have no control of their own network.

I would also prefer to see MSN bring back their chatrooms and work more on their Myspace killer (lol) they started but never completed.
I would also like to see aim chat (or what ever in the heck aol used to have for their chatrooms)get in on this deal and use their servers or what ever is left of them

The more the choices we have, the more innovations we have and the more freedom to choose what network and what abilities we want to use and have. As of now there are still a few social sites that are sitting stale. Why not move them all up?
What social Changes would you like to see ?

Facebook’s New Look. Good or Bad?

Posted onAuthorTruXter

have you seen the new look of facebook?
Seems not many are happy with the new look.
I myself make it loud and clear that I hate facebook and it’s interactivity.
The place is the antisocial network. You can’t call it a social network if the only
friends you can have, are friends you already have.

We are not happy, and we are not stupid

Despite those numbers, despite rabid user loyalty, you’re losing money, so much money you got delisted from Forbes’ Masters of the Universe Billionaires list. At the same time another social network, much smaller than yours with less functionality and more questionable future, is gaining a lot of buzz and membership.

Social media getting shot back at.

looks like yelp.com is under fire
according to
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/T/TEC_SOCIAL_WEB_GROWING_PAINS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

The complaints highlight an irony for Web sites that stimulate online communities and let users speak their minds. As the sites make the world more transparent, giving people the power to discuss everything from a great pizza to a bad date, the sites’ own transparency is often questionable, as consumers and businesses struggle to understand how they operate.
