I Love Facebook :)

I have been a Facebook member since last year. At first, i find this networking site obsolete. I dunno how to navigate my pages and i dont have any idea how to maximize its applications. Well later on, i found out that it is a very interesting site. Why? I discovered that there were a lot of people in other parts of the world bearing my last name as well. As i put my last name as keyword on the search tab, i began to see as many search results as i can ever imagine. I started adding these people who share the same last name with me and few days after I get a number of messages on my inbox from those people asking me questions like: "Where are you from really?" "How did you find me?" Are we relatives?" "Do you know somebody named blah blah in your place?".
There's another thing i enjoy using this site. You can use as many applications as you want to utilize on your profile. I love the games like Pet Society, Superpoke Pets, Farm Town, etc. I also enjoy posting photos, videos and links to my wall. And what's more? You can now chat with your friend who's also online on Facebook. Another thing, you can hide your profile and information from searches made by other users and you can block unwanted people from searching you and viewing your profile on Facebook
In any event as days passed by, i never found a way within the site to search discussions thru keywords. Facebook is a very interactive site and people talk about a variety of topics which are relevant for journalists. Recently, i found out that Google can actually help us about this. I tried using this keyword on Google keyword search

site:facebook.com/topic Autism


If you try to search Facebook for Autism, you can actually filter your searches from Pages, People, Events, Applications and Groups. But for me it is an awkward way of searching what people were discussing.
If you search Facebook for Autism your search results will end up into groups like Autism Awareness, World Autism Awareness Day, Autism Spectrum Condition United Group 3 (NOW CLOSING DOWN) etc. It is the hardest site to find an information and opinions by people about the Behavior.


Oh well, i would still use this web application. Im starting to have an obsession for this. It keeps me logged in almost 24 hours! Two thumbs up for this.

For thee united,

O'er island yonder
Loyal thy sons we'll ever be

To the Hall of Brave sons rare.

Sing forth the message,
Ring out with courage
All hail, thou hope of our dear land,
All hail, thou hope of our dear land.

PLURK

So it was February when I decided to try out PLURK. Actually, i already made two plurk accounts and the first one was accidentally deleted. It really pissed me off 'cause I already gained KARMA on it and Oh snap! i deleted it accidentally.
So what am I talking about?
PLURK is a very fashionable site where you can show off the things that happen to your life. Everything you have in mind you can share--photos, links or videos-- in an SMS type messages they call "plurk."
I must say that its just so like Twitter but as for me I think its better. I tried this thing 'cause i want to publicize my blog. That is all my intention but what happened is, i became obsessed of the thing!
I should say its like yahoo messenger with a different style. You get to chat with friends, the only difference is that all the things you are discussing are viewable to all your friends timeline.
Once you gain friends you'll start seeing their messages or shoutouts on your timeline and its cool to read some messages about things happened to them while walking by the street or while munching their fave chocolates whatsoever. Those messages continue to appear to your timeline as long as it gets responses from plurkers.
The timeline actually looks like this:

At first, the timeline looks so messy. You get those messages and when you log back suddenly disappears. Plurks appear on the timeline depending on the time it was plurked.
You can plurk anything you want to say. And what's cool, it also has emoticons to associate your current mood.
It also has karma point. It is increased when you update your timeline regularly and when you invite friends to join in. However, it is decreased when you are inactive for a day and friends stop following you because you are spamming or invading plurks perverting the topic.
Sometimes I think its kinda odd cause i call people friends eventhough i dont know them personally. And though i dont know them, i would dare to reply to their plurks. Weird.
But what i like about it is that, it entertains you especially when you plurk in something and it gains a lot of responses.

What i hate about this thing is, once you get a lot of friends your timeline begins to be bombarded with plurks and more updates should be done. Sometimes its a waste of time LOL

What Annoys Me on Friendster Bulletins

Before i tried posting this entry, i was actually spending like 40 minutes reading posts on my friendster bulletin board. This is kinda odd cause i don't usually give a rat's ass on what's being posted here.

Well, ima say this is kinda like a graffiti board. No rules to follow, post whatever the heck you wanna post--offensive, obscene, obsolete whatever!

I just think that friendster users who would post those kinds of entries are so bluntly stupid.

Why?

Firstly, they post at least five entries having the same subject and content. Man, that's spamming! You are flooding my bulletin board with such non-sense posts!

Secondly, i hate those mentally perverted ones who try to circulate chain messages and surveys and what the hell are those stuff. Darlin' anyone could actually just make it up and set it up like it really bring a curse. Did i ever lose my mom cause i didnt repost the Mother Mary Birthday Miracle Chain Letter? (no offense meant). My mom is there..sooo alive. Come on.

And lastly, i am really pissed off when i read this bulletin: 10 thousand PROFILE VIEWS FOR THIS MONTH! Man, who cares?! LOLness.

And also this one, ATTENTION! And after u opened the post all you gotta read is HEHEHEHE or HELLO. Doh!
The photo below just shows that friendster bulletins really suck! Oh boy.. You got somethin' to say? This guy is actually cute but My-Gawd, he is so annoying hahaa! My apology, pretty boy...

Gimme my sword, i wanna stab those idiots!

(Sigh) Animosity is just takin' all over me today.
