Facebook Hack: Nifty Tool Tells You The Profile From An Image URL
Posted on January 4, 2010 | No Comments
My jaws nearly dropped when I tried out this little nifty tool. Created by Samuel Ryan, all you need to do is to simply copy and paste the Facebook image URL into the search field provided, and hit the "Find Profile!" button. Voila, you will then be redirected to the person's Facebook profile. Impressive right?
This website is definitely useful for stalking people who post their profile images on forums. He or she will then be puzzled -- how on earth did you manage to find my Facebook profile from merely an image URL. :D
I've tried it out and it works for me. You must logged on to Facebook in order to view the profile. Give it a try!

HOW-TO: Read Your Friends’ Facebook Status Updates From A Feed Reader
Posted on December 29, 2009 | No Comments
When I started to use Facebook, I love the site because I can play games and interact with my peers after school. But now I seldom use it for one simple reason - SPAM, especially those continuous updates from Farmville and Daily Horoscope. Although there are a few ways to filter those updates, but here's a nifty little trick of how to read your friend's statuses ("What are you doing" Twitter-like part of Facebook) directly from a feed reader like Google Reader or Newswire. Facebook no longer links to the status RSS feed URL, so it requires some tweaks to the URL.
First of all, make sure you're logged in on Facebook. Visit http://www.facebook.com/notes.php, and click on the "My Friends' Notes" link located at upper right of the page. Your feed URL will resemble something like this (http://www.facebook.com/feeds/friends_notes.php?id...). Next, change the part of the URL that says "friends_notes" to "friends_status". Make sure the rest of the URL remains intact, and copy and paste the URL into your preferred feed reader.

Backup Your Data From Twitter, Facebook, and Gmail For Free With Backupify
Posted on December 27, 2009 | No Comments
Your wallet contains important personal contents - credit cards, driver's license, identity card, etc. Your lifestream data such as your emails or contacts on Gmail, precious photos on Flickr or Photobucket, blog posts on Blogger or Wordpress, and documents on Google Docs, are as crucial as well.
Although most popular Web 2.0 services have stepped up security, but many are still worried about their private data, especially when they are in the hands of these websites that have no service level agreement (SLA). Sometimes, they are lost due to hackers, an human error, or a careless mistake you've made.
It’s rather heartbreaking to see all your important data disappearing into thin air if one of your online accounts is being hacked into, deleted or even lost. You may think that it'll be very safe and this wouldn’t happen to you. Well, no web service out there is infallible and nothing is impossible.

More Facebook Privacy “Stuff”
Posted on December 20, 2009 | No Comments
I was on Facebook today making a status update. It tells me there are some privacy things I should know. This time it wasn't anything dumb like my last post, but something I think people should be aware of.
So, I am guessing this new batch of privacy "stuff" (yes all it is is stuff) rolled out with that last update I was talking about. Facebook is trying to base its privacy off three main levels, Friends, Friends of Friends, and Everyone.
It seems to me that Facebook is trying to make a common level of privacy for everyone. This whole Friends, Friends of Friends, and Everyone deal works with statuses to photo albums. Applications now have a limited access to what they can see about you, which is great.

Facebook is Releasing Your Privacy, WATCH OUT!
Posted on December 18, 2009 | No Comments
Last week Facebook updated its privacy settings, and screwed us over.
The company thought it would be a great idea to make everyone's privacy settings to public. Easy for us tech savy people to change, but for the average user, not quite. If your privacy settings were changed in the first place, you can restore them back. If they are not changed, you will have to modify everything.
The reason they did this is of course for money. They can sell your phone number and email for money. Yes, your phone number and email are being shown to the public right now, if you did not change your settings back.

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube As Vintage Books
Posted on December 13, 2009 | No Comments
Ever wonder how popular social services such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, and Last.FM would look like in a world where the Internet was invented in the 1960s, and was printed in paperback instead of being online? Tanner Ringerud has compiled a list of five creative posters, each featuring a meaningful quote related to the social website.
Facebook: The Medium Is the Message
Twitter: To Be Or Not To Be Followed
YouTube: Big Brother Is Watching You
Last.FM: Play The Music, Not The Instrument
