Facebook Fans In An Uproar!

Personally I'm not a member of Facebook. However what I do know about it is that is seems to be a social networking-type website along the lines of MySpace.

I see that those that do belong to Facebook are up in arms about some changes that Facebook has made and I decided to find out more about it.

On February 4, 2009, Facebook changed their terms of service. Here is what another blog post has posted about the change:

"Anything you upload to Facebook can be used by Facebook in any way they deem fit, forever, no matter what you do later. Want to close your account? Good for you, but Facebook still has the right to do whatever it wants with your old content"

When you sign up with Facebook, you grant them the use of anything that you upload to them and you grant them the right(s) of irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to (a) use, copy, publish, stream, store, retain, publicly perform or display, transmit, scan, reformat, modify, edit, frame, translate, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works and distribute those things that you have indeed uploaded to them!

Neopets - It Used To Be One Of My Favorite Sites But......

I'm having problems with the Neopets site.

Just in case you don't know about it, the Neopets site is where you can create your own virtual pet. You have to keep an eye on them and feed them. You purchase food with your Neopet earnings and one of the ways that I used to earn Neopet money was to play some of the games where I would earn neopoints.

One of my favorite games was "Carnival Of Terror"

But for the past few days I haven't been able to play the game because every time I try to load it it takes forever! Plus I'm getting some kind of ads that is using all of my computer's cpm. Then my browser just freezes and I have to reload it.

So I'm not able to play the game.

9/26/08 Update!

By using a different browser, I'm now able to get back to playing my favorite Neopets game which is "Carnival Of Terror".

The Internet Movie Database?

The Internet Movie Database (or IMDB for short) is a website that has a wealth of information about movies. You can find out almost anything about almost any movie from this website.

However I am a little disappointed because while the site has message boards and also gives you the option of adding your own synopsis and plotlines you must first "authenticate" your account by either giving them your credit card nomber or giving them your cellphone number - which I think is just too much to ask just to be able to have the priviledge of being able to post your opinions, etc.
