iBlog8 – A family affair

“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. I can’t believe people are still clicking on those links! No matter who, or how many people post a warning not to click those [...]

Has Friendster given up?

Has Friendster given up? This is the impression I got when I received my copy of the email from the social network.

My FB status updates

Nothing personal against Twitter, but I seem to enjoy Facebook more lately and have made myself scarce in Twitterville. But I still drop by every now and then, I still remember dropping one-liners there before. Facebook or FB, however, is just perfect for me. Aside from being reunited with friends and classmates from way back [...]

Blogging events in 2010

In this rather late post, I would like to enumerate some of the blogging events in 2010 that I have been a part of, or at least have heard about, last year. I said late because I already made a post on the two of them. Anyway, these are some of the blogging events that [...]

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 [...]
