Beware the sudden relationship status chages in Facebook.

This just in from MSNBC, it appears that digital dumping is on the rise. If you are dating someone and your sweetheart is a Facebook friend and their relationship status changes to single, chances are you have been dumped. Hopefully you get more of a warning, but there are some out there who are changing their realtionship status and that’s it. That’s cold. I don’t mean to go Dr. Phil on anyone here, but if you plan to end a relationship, respect the other person and do the honorable thing by doing it face to face or voice to voice.

Google looking to face-off with Facebook

Well, I really shouldn’t be surprised, but in a way I am a little.  Google is looking to get into the Social Networking niche with Google Buzz.  This is incorporated to Google’s email service and will allow users to post status updates very similar to Facebook.  As first glance, that appears to be all it can do, but knowing how popular Facebook is and all the bells and whistles that it has, don’t be surprised if you start to see social gaming apps.  Facebook recently overhauled its layout to mixed results.  Some people don’t mind it while others hate it.  If enough people hate it, they may be tempted to go over to Google Buzz.  This may be perfect timing for Google.

Billion Dollar Facebook

Will Facebook be a billion dollar industry? According to some, it has the potential to be a billion dollar industry within the next few years. Right now they are looking to reach 500 million by the end of the year. With successes like Yahoo, Gmail and Ebay, it’s no wonder the online market place is still booming. Facebook will be just another cog to exceed the billion dollar mark. I just wish I could come up with something so successful!

A litle less spam on facebook!

Last week a judge ordered a Facebook user to stay away from the FaceBook site due to the fact that he was a well known spammer. Anyone who uses the social website knows that spammers are relentless and I for one give a giant shout out the the judge that handed down this verdict. Spammers have their place on the web but it seems like there are more people working on spamming and scamming then there are people trying to socialise. Hopefully we will see the owners of these sites being more proactive in bringing charges against spammers to help clean up the site in efforts to provide a user friendly experence for legitimate users.
