Fb.com USD8.5 Juta

Facebook dah beli Fb.com dengan harga USD8.5 juta. Domain yang cuma ada 2 huruf saja tapi harga melampau nak mampus. Dengan nilai funding Facebook yang lebih kurang 8 bilion, pembelian fb.com tu lebih kurang macam kita pi beli cekelat kat kedai ja. Domain Fb.com telah dibeli dalam bulan November tahun lepas tapi harga pembelian baru saja di'announce' baru-baru ni.

Domain Fb.com pada awalnya kepunyaan American Farm Bureau walaupun biro tersebut menggunakan Fb.org sebagai alamat internet. Fb.com dikhususkan untuk penggunaan internal saja tapi buat masa ni Fb.com redirect terus ke Facebook. So sapa-sapa yang malas nak taip panjang-panjang kat browser kalau nak masuk Facebook boleh taip je Fb.com.

p/s: Sapa-sapa rasa nak buat duit boleh la cari dan beli domain name yang rasa bole jual juta-juta lepas ni.

Friendster Dah Tak Private

Untuk menimbulkan cerita kat sini.. Friendster dot kom yang hempa semua dok pakai tu dah tak private la ni. Sebab gambaq private pun orang lain dah bole tengok la ni.. Sapa yang suka letak gambaq sexy2 ka atau gambaq tak pakai baju ka dalam private folder tu baik hati2 hahah. Macam yang hempa semua tau.. la ni Friendster pun dah tiru Facebook pasal status update la sampai la apa yang hempa comment kat orang lain pun orang lain tau. Kalau dalam Facebook benda ni memang dah biasa tapi ada limit gak. Kalo yang nak extra privacy tu bole adjust setting. Tapi dalam Friendster aku tak tau la bole adjust setting ke tak sebab aku pun tak try lagi.

Ok kalo stakat status update tu tadak hal la kan kalo orang tau tapi skarang ni kalau ada orang comment kat private picture pun "rakan-rakan" lain akan tau. Ceritanya mula macam ni.. Semalam ada la membe aku ni letak comment ayat leleh punyer kat gambaq private awek dia. Pastu awek dia pun balas dengan ayat2 yang tak kalah bisanyer.. Depa dua orang ni mesti budget depa dua je yang nampak benda tu padahal benda tu dah jadi perbualan petang tadi time minum kat jayati. Bukan stakat dapat baca, gambaq private awek dia pun semua orang dah tengok. Seb baik la gambaq tu tutup aurat. Kan dah tak private kalo camtu. Nak tiru Facebook punya pasal privacy orang jadi masalah. Kalo problem ni tak settle mesti lepas ni makin kurang pengguna Friendster. Sebelum ni dah la banyak problem phishing a.k.a cyrus the virus.

Social Networking Race

This map is very interesting. It compares the social networking popularity between countries. Taken from http://www.oxyweb.co.uk/. The data was for November 2008. Malaysia and Indonesia were the only country where Friendster still holding the throne. Can't wait for the December results.

What do you like to use? I prefer Facebook because it has more features and everything seems like sorted nicely. The features are also apropriate. I mean in Friendster or Myspace, people are using comments box to write messages. Eventhough I don't like it, I still need to do the same thing because some people will only reply to comments even though it is a message. Perhaps they don't know the difference.

My Myspace account was phished in November. I don't know how many spam had been placed under my name. Eventhough Myspace seems like a simple html page run by a guy name Tom, it did automatically block my account when it detected the phishing. That did gave me a pain in the.. for a month before I could reuse my account. Friendster is also having the phishing problem. Also in November I got a rapid increase of my friend list in Friendster because some Philipinos who I don't even know were listed as my friends. How the hell did that happened? Fortunately those problems had been settled but I'm still wondering if any phishing is happening in Friendster using my account to post spam comments because I have not receive any message from Friendster admin like I've received from Myspace. A lot my friends had been infected with those phishers currently. Damn you phishers. Do something better wouldn't you. Grow a tree, fight poverty or something.
