FACEBOOK WILL END ON MARCH 15th!

2011-01-10T04:51:00.000-08:00

That's one of the hottest headlines in Weekly World News - The World's Only Reliable News

From the article, Mark Zuckerberg says:

"Facebook has gotten out of control and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness. I personally don’t think it’s a big deal. And to be honest, I think it’s for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That’s always a good thing. I don’t care about the money, I just want my old life back."

HUH! Sounds like this multimillionaire just had a broken heart :p

After providing us an 'Unfriend' button in Facebook, now this famous Social Networking Site wants to 'Unfacebook' all it's 500million users worldwide at once on15th of March. Well, that's if the news is true. Otherwise, Weekly World News is no longer The World's Only Reliable News. What do ya think?

Let's just wait and see...

Play your part to stop climate change! Start planning for your event and join the Global Work Party!

2010-10-04T20:15:00.000-07:00

It’s been a tough year: in North America, oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico; in Asia some of the highest temperatures ever recorded; in the Arctic, the fastest melting of sea ice ever seen; in Latin America, record rainfalls washing away whole mountainsides.

So we’re having a party. We’re calling it a Global Work Party, with emphasis on both 'work' and 'party'. In Auckland, New Zealand, they’re having a giant bike fix-up day, to get every bicycle in the city back on the road. In the Maldives, they’re putting up solar panels on the President’s office.

How about Malaysia?

Circle 10/10/10 on your calendar. That’s the date. The place is wherever you live. And the point is to do something that will help deal with global warming in your city or community. Support this campaign and start planning for your event now!

Anti-Facebook?

2010-09-02T23:39:00.000-07:00

It's kinda shocked to hear about Anti-Facebook?? since Facebook is kinda recent trend among internet users nowadays. Well, at least I am shocked. Facebook is rated as the most used social network with more than 500 million active users from all around the world. Of course there are the Facebook competitors such as MySpace, Friendster, Hi-5; but they are all in the same business focus that is to attract internet users to use their social network by providing many interesting features, games, applications and ways of communication. Then, suddenly here comes the Facebook haters coming out of no where, calling and collecting people to shut their Facebook account. So pathetic, they have to sign-up with Facebook themselves in order to do that.

Diaspora

Diaspora meanwhile, is said to be the new Facebook rival which will release on 15 September. Diaspora is an open-source alternative for Facebook, Twitter and other social networks where users may download the software and install in their own website. Otherwise, use the one-click sign-up version which it's availability in Diaspora is still unknown. From what I understand, it means users can create and control their own social network. I'm not sure, but the features sounds familiar to me. Isn't it similar to services provided by Ning or Buddypress?

However, if Diaspora really wish to challenge the fast growing Facebook, they really have a long way to go.

Beauty, Beauteous, Beautiful

2009-11-10T23:01:00.000-08:00

by David Taylor

Beauty is not a superficial form
Each has their own in essential nature
And in the actions they perform
Until the dissolution of their life
To leave beauty’s impressions in our hearts
Yesterdays beauty never leaves or departs.

Beauty is all around
Each and every place it may be found
As you look with open eyes
Upon the forms that nature makes
Then man seeks to imitate
Yearning to match that beauty all around.

Beauty if you cannot find
Beauty must be in mind
Beauty is in purity
Beauty of simplicity
Beauty runs right through and through
Beauty in me, and them, and you.

Beauty, beauteous, beautiful
Beauty in heaven
Beauty in fire
Beauty in earth
And finally beauty in a simple verse.
