Everyone has eyes on a large market that attracts people in large numbers and more importantly keeps them engaged or glued to. The same rule applies online when services grow massive and advertisers are ready to flood investments in these services or destinations. The example is Facebook, which only recently cross the half a billion user mark and has attracted investments in bulk from its advertisers.

Remember the FB.Me saga that was supposed to be a Tumblr look alike? Well that project might still have some life to it as Facebook grabbed the Facebook.me domain from Amjad Abbas, an individual based in the United Arab Emirates.

I talk loads about Facebook on Startup Meme and often I have to skip reporting things primarily because the posts become too opinionated and are against the interest of our readers but this qualifies for the WTF tag. There is a man springing to his feet claiming he owns Facebook. Paul Ceglia, a New York based individual claims he owns 84 percent of the social network and even filed a lawsuit against Facebook CEO, the equally retarded Mark Zuckerberg.
The story is pretty fascinating where he tailors quite a story of coming across a contract which he signed with Mark Zuckerberg back in 2003, something he totally forgot. Further, he has pages of email conversations that he can use as evidence [err how long does it take to create these fake emails by the way?]. Other than stating he thinks Zuckerberg is an impossible person to deal with and that he can’t keep commitments. Feel sorry for Mark and I am guessing Ceglia is one of those persons who keeps his words and is spot on, I mean why would someone then complain about another man’s sincerity.

I was up talking to a friend a couple of days on how writing about Facebook was the biggest pain in life and the adverse psychological problems it got me into. But you can’t help not talking about it, given that the third of everyone online is on the social network. Plus Facebook has more to do with simply connecting people, its more to do with their lifestyles and their privacy, which is the biggest concern.
I had been reading about the latest turn of events on Facebook about Ron Bowes making user data publically available. That data was of over 100 million users who are a part of the social network. But before I proceed let me state that Ron Bowes is not a hacker in my opinion. Why? Well

In its latest frenzy to personalize and get more popular with its users, Facebook has finally rolled out Questions. What good is it? Primarily worth nothing, simply gives a new word or phrase to the status updates and ensures maximum user participation, the idea simply put is about divide and better engage users of the social network.

500 Million Users, a Hollywood movie on The Social Network minus all the controversies, Facebook and its CEO and Founder are having a ball. Mark Zuckerberg is set to leverage all sorts of media to have his presence felt. We will most definitely be seeing him in an episode of Season 22 of The Simpsons. What is it about?

Celebrating the crossing of the 500 Million user mark, it appears that the social network is having some issues. Perhaps it is readying to introduce something new, I say so for I have been unable to access my Facebook profile for almost half an hour now. I have no idea why is this happening but its saddening.

Good God save us from the craziness of the virtual activity coming over into real lives. Who would have thought that our attempts to make the virtual world adopt things from real life would actually turn around and in fact influence reality? I am being skeptic? I don’t mind it, but Farmville is trying exactly that – teaming with Green Giant to bring Farmville Cash to around 4,000 stores across the US. Bah! Humbug!
