Avoid Facebook 'graphic app' Privacy Warning Hoax
Rappler readers and Facebook users sent out warning of a hoax making the rounds on social media.
The hoax, which is based on the fear of having people you don't want seeing your posts and photos because of a "graphic app," is a fabrication. While the hoax has been worded a number of different ways, the intent is the same: to misinform and cause you to waste time disabling your ability to see others' posts.

Jessica Sanchez leads Idol Top 3 in Online Fanbase
MANILA, Philippines - If the fanbase in social media would be the basis for winning the American Idol contest, then Filipino-Mexican bet Jessica Sanchez is sure to win by a big leap.
Two weeks before the finale of the American hit singing competition, remaining Top 3 contestants Sanchez, Joshua Ledet, and Phillip Phillips are left to vie for the title in the show's 11th season.
And based on online fans and followers, Sanchez, the remaining female contestant in the competition, is edging out her two male competitors.
Facebook.
In Facebook, Sanchez got more fanpage dedicated to her than the other two contestants. Some of these pages even exceeded the thousand mark for "likes".
As for the Top 3's official Facebook fanpages, Sanchez still leads in terms of number of "likes." Her page has with than 191,000 likes - far from the 72,000 likes in Phillips's fanpage, and from 51,000 likes in Ledet's fanpage.
These official Facebook fanpages help boost votes for the candidates. Each fanpage links to an app where voters can cast their votes online. Voting is being opened for at least a day at the end of every performance night. The following day, the contestants who garner the highest votes stay in the competition, while the one with the lowest votes is eliminated.
Twitter.
On the microblogging site Twitter, Sanchez also leads the fanbase race. Searching the name of Sanchez would yield to a longer list of pages dedicated to her than the other two contestants.

Instagram Sold By Facebook For $1 Billion
Here's what Mark Zuckerberg said on his blog post:
"I'm excited to share the news that we've agreed to acquire Instagram and that their talented team will be joining Facebook.
For years, we've focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family. Now, we'll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests.
We believe these are different experiences that complement each other. But in order to do this well, we need to be mindful about keeping and building on Instagram's strengths and features rather than just trying to integrate everything into Facebook.
That's why we're committed to building and growing Instagram independently. Millions of people around the world love the Instagram app and the brand associated with it, and our goal is to help spread this app and brand to even more people.
We think the fact that Instagram is connected to other services beyond Facebook is an important part of the experience. We plan on keepingfeatures like the ability to post to other social networks, the ability to not share your Instagrams on Facebook if you want, and the ability to have followers and follow people separately from your friends on Facebook.

Update: FACEBOOK WILL END ON MARCH 15th !? --NOT SO TRUE!
UPDATE: Facebook is not shutting down, it is not closing and you do not have to worry about saving all your information or losing all your online friends.
This is not true, it is just a rumor and Facebook will still be fine after March 15 2011. Not sure how this rumor got started....
Above statement is given by the Facebook Team after someone spreads rumor that Facebook Site will end or shutdown on March 15th.
Read the excerpt: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.”
Kala ko totoo na. hmm. ready pa naman na sana akong bumalik sa friendster. HAHA!

Facebook's "NEW PROFILE": Hot or Not?
I'm not anymore fond of using the Facebook, I much prefer now the twitter and tumblr. But hey! there is something new in Facebook. Facebook Team cooks something new for their 'loyal' users before the year's end. Well, it is not the secretly build facebook smart phone nor the Gmail killer's facebook email. They will only have few upgrade on the Facebook profile page and they called it "The New Profile" wow! as if namang new na new ang idea. LOL
Okay, the "New Profile" will have now your all basic information, interests, selected photos on the landing page. i think all 'stalkers' now are partying for this news because they can simply get to know more about their crush, love interest and whoever they want. But you have the choice to not change or to change your Facebook Profile Page. If your interested in "New Profile" thingy then clickhere to experienced the change.
I already tried it and it is nice. I love the navigation links below my Display Picture.I also liked the way the tagged pictures and personal information was shown. And I think their is no private issues will occur on this changes because it is still up to you on what information you want to share in public. Over-all, "New Profile" is hot... hotter than the previous profile page that the Facebook have done.
UPDATE:
Now, i realized that "Facebook New Profile Page" is not that Hot. i got dissapoint with the small font/letters in my profile page. yeah, small is cute pero hindi sobrang liit nuh. Nakaka-irita lang. And i also noticed na mas malaki pa ang font size/letters ng Ads sa right side. Yup! I know that you need to earn money through that Ads. But hey! you can do that 'ads thing' without compromising the font size of the profile page. Be creative enough to do that!
