Facebook Attacked By Trojan Virus

Facebook and its users are having a rough day. A serious Facebook virus is attacking the network’s users.

For the laymen:

If you receive a Facebook message (or a Facebook message alert in your email) with a questionable subject line, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK IN THE BODY!

All of the information in this post was garnered from an awesome article from news.com.au by Narelle Towie.

Questionable subject titles vary from “Maan,yyou’re great!” to “your ass looks not bad in this video”, “Some0ne thinks your special and has a *Hot_Crush* on you. Find out who it could be*” or a youtube link that says ‘”i can see yooooooooo”. These links disguise a trojan worm and should not be clicked.

This trojan comes just months after Facebook said it was working to protect its user from phishing scams.

Write On Your Blog, Form Here!

 This is a test post I’m writing not from wordpress, but from a third party web 2.0 application. Well this is just to try if it works or not. Let’s see how it does.

I’m not sure if it works for all type of blogging scripts, i.e. wordpress, blogger live journal etc, but this type of applications or services are damn good for bloggers who are often victims of domestic or international politics. Like wordpress banned in Turkey and blogger in Pakistan. Due to such happenings bloggers might have not been able to update their blogs, so I’m sure if they try accessing their blogs from such third party applications and keep their readers updated with what they write, it’ll be too good.

And now m’ gonna publish it!

Edit:

Yes, it’s working, and it works for all platform, blogger.com as well as blogger on your own domain, wordpress.com and wordpress on your domain and much more… It’s simply cool! Do try it!

The People’s Search Engine

If you’re on internet and don’t have a grown up social network, it means you’re really missing one of the most important use of technology. Well, that may also be wrong as everyone doesn’t like social networking, but being with people whom you love to talk to is really a great blessing. Social Networking doesn’t work for individuals only, but also for business professionals, especially the web biz pros.

123people.gifPeoples’ search engine in this regard may be the best choice to search for people you like or share interests with you and or make your target market. I found one while browsing for the same, and it’s really a peoples’ search engine. In the about us page the company ensures you that 123people is a people search engine that looks into nearly every corner of the Web to help you find information on everyone you (want to) know. And for this you need to have a sign up of course. So sign it up and enjoy the filtered search for the people you really want to meet.

One thing that I found can be improved there is either to have blog in English or to provide the translation in English so that a huge number of users can be benefited out of it!
