This is how Friendster reply their users

Got this from one of the user who is not happy as I am with Friendster who reformated the whole website and dedicated it for some online game thing. He emailed Friendster telling them how frustrated he is just as I am and this is what he got for a reply:

Hello james,

Thank you for contacting Friendster Customer Support.
We're sorry that you don't like the new site. We can't please everybody and I guess that includes you. The reformat was a business decision that we had to take and we have no plans of returning back to the old format.

Regards,
Xavier
Customer Support

Well friendster is all about making money now rather then asking what their user really want. MOL bought over friendster to use it for a MOL hub centre I guess, then again who is going to play? lol

Social network users now easy targets for criminals?

“PETALING JAYA: Forget about bringing criminals to book, the crooks are themselves going to the book – Facebook, that is.

Many are targeting Malaysians – via their personal details posted on Facebook.

They are lifting information such as addresses, telephone numbers and even photographs for crimes ranging from drug trafficking to blackmail and sexual harassment.” Read More…

“PETALING JAYA: Crooks are cashing in on personal details readily revealed by some Facebook users and using them in identity frauds, blackmail or to “steal” money from users.

Over-excited online social network users who reveal personal information and accept “friendship” requests from complete strangers have made the site an increasingly popular target for cybercriminals.” Read More…

 

 

Was wondering how did those people easily manage to access people email account just by the facebook detail of that person. I have tried it on most of the people I know email and found out most of them would use questions like "Where was my mother born" or maybe "what is my first pet name?" this if it is yahoo or hotmail. If it was Gmail... you can forget about trying to even recover yourself.

So like I said who would post details about where their mom was born or maybe what was their first pet name on their profile? I tried like few days now since it was on the news and found non among my friends or people I email to have posted most of the details for their security password on their facebook or friendster profile. So that would be good news to most of you lol, then again as for me.. er.. hm.. isp mail can be easily recovered? lol

I got a few email which I use regularly and yes a FEWWWW I don’t know why but I think now I got like 6 emails? including a new gmail address which I just registered for near future use. Then again I always download the mails and no I don’t have any nude picture of myself or any of my friends nude picture. I do have some porn pictures then again that would not be good enough to blackmail me hahahaha.

Anyway just want to say it is not impossible to get all the details now days since most people take things for granted and just post every little details of themselves. That is where you see your picture getting posted on sites like GutterUncensored (if you are a girl and hot too lol). So I would say the internet is a scary place. So before you post or update anything on your profile or blog, double check and make sure it has nothing to do with your main account details for the password recover thing.

Facebook is Closing on 15th March (Yes!)

Well seems like another rumor going around more ever from weeklyworldnews.com. But this one sounds real!! (Just saying so don’t need to believe me too) look at the post:

PALO ALTO, CA –Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in March. Managing the site has become too stressful.

“Facebook has gotten out of control,” said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, “and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.”
Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting March 15th, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts.

“After March 15th the whole website shuts down,” said Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook. “So if you ever want to see your pictures again, I recommend you take them off the internet. You won’t be able to get them back once Facebook goes out of business.”
Zuckerberg said that the decision to shut down Facebook was difficult, but that he does not think people will be upset.
“I personally don’t think it’s a big deal,” he said in a private phone interview. “And to be honest, I think it’s for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That’s always a good thing.”

Some Facebook users were furious upon hearing the shocking news.
“What am I going to do without Facebook?” said Denise Bradshaw, a high school student from Indiana. “My life revolves around it. I’m on Facebook at least 10 hours a day. Now what am I going to do with all that free time?”

However, parents across the country have been experiencing a long anticipated sense of relief.
“I’m glad the Facebook nightmare is over,” said Jon Guttari, a single parent from Detroit. “Now my teenager’s face won’t be glued to a computer screen all day. Maybe I can even have a conversation with her.”

Those in the financial circuit are criticizing Zuckerberg for walking away from a multibillion dollar franchise. Facebook is currently ranked as one of the wealthiest businesses in the world, with economists estimating its value at around 7.9 billion.

But Zuckerberg remains unruffled by these accusations. He says he will stand by his decision to give Facebook the axe.

“I don’t care about the money,” said Zuckerberg. “I just want my old life back.”

The Facebook Corporation suggests that users remove all of their personal information from the website before March 15th. After that date, all photos, notes, links, and videos will be permanently erased.

Is this for real? sound like real as it is tiring but would Mark Zuckerberg really do so or is this just another rumor. Then again if this really happened would we all go back to Friendster one of the first social network?
