Bad face of the Internet - Facebook used to kidnap, traffic Indonesian girls - NY Daily News
People will be quick to point out that Social Media is exposing the children to the bad world and it should be banned.
I would disagree (and maybe I might be biased). But I see social media as a reality and it will get to children sooner or later. It is just like drugs in the world - I do not understand that if drugs are so bad then why the governments get together and stop its production. So is the case with cigarettes and liquor - first they got the world addicted to it and now they warn them against having them. Bullshit.
My personal recommendation is that if you have children at home share this story with them so that they do not fall for similar kind of people (God Forbid).

Facebook Director’s Quick $1 Billion Share Sale Lacks Precedent - Businessweek
Thiel, a Facebook director and its first outside investor, divested 72 percent of his remaining shares three months after it went public. Of the 40 biggest U.S. technology IPOs since the end of 2010, only Facebook and its underwriters let some backers sell so soon, with every other company adopting a so-called lock-up period about twice that long.
Does this mean that the Facebook directors and owners do not have confidence in whether Facebook would be a success going forward? Your guess is as good as mine.

Update Facebook and Twitter when posting to tumblr
If you have a blog on tumbr then you should enable the updating of your Facebook and Twitter account whenever you post an update on Tumbrl.
A post on the Tumblr staff blog has details of how to enable the sharing with Twitter and Facebook. I found out that using the link in the post to connect to Facebook results in a Facebook error page which means the link is broken.
If you want to connect the Twitter and Facebook accounts to Tumblr follow the following steps
- Log into tumblr
- If you have multiple tumblr blogs select the blog for which you want to enable the sharing
- Click on the “Blog Setting” link in the sidebar
- On the next page in the Facebook column you have the option to “Share your Tumblr posts in your News Feed” which you need to enable. An authorization popup will show up which enables to verify your Facebook account. You can choose to share the updates on the wall or any of your pages which are shown in the drop down menu
- SImilarly in Twitter column there is an option “Send my Tumblr posts to Twitter”. Selecting this option would automatically share your updates on your Twitter account. That is it you are done!
You can turn off these options anytime later.
