“I can’t believe you’re still clicking that!”

Either we’re just too curious or we’re not really paying attention. Facebook was not created yesterday… and so were those malicious links and applications that always appear in your news feed.

iBlog7: I CAN DO THIS!

Bailing out is not an option! I have to face this. I volunteered for it and nobody, and I mean NOBODY! – forced me to do it. Well, almost nobody, except for that stupid voice inside my head who’s been pushing me since last year, to do things that aren’t really within my comfort zone… [...]

Hooked on Bejeweled

I have so far been successful in warding off the curiosity to play Farmville, Fishville, Mafia Wars, Restaurant City and Café World. But guess what got me? It’s the good ol’ fashion Bejeweled Blitz game. Yes, the plain game that we used to play in Yahoo! is now also in Facebook and is so far [...]
