Facebook Unblock - How Can I?

Posted: April 7th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , , , |
Unblock Facebook at Work or School

My sister-in-law, Nana, burst into my room one afternoon looking really irate. She just came home from school while I was finishing up a web design for my new site.

‘Hey! Problem at school?’, I asked her.

‘Yeah! Major problem!’, she yelled raising her arms dramatically.


‘Our school administration blocked Facebook’, she explained. ‘How can they do that?! Facebook connects me to my friends. It’s where I upload photos, share video and music… it’s part of my teenage life!

‘Calm down now’, I said chuckling. ‘It’s not the end of the world’

‘Oh, it is for me! , she retorted. ‘I need that site!’

She eyed me sheepishly. ‘You’re the computer geek. How do we get a Facebook unblock at school?’

‘Well, since you are my favorite sister-in-law, I’ll tell you how’, I replied tapping her hand, and straightened up and started my lecture.

We can access blocked websites in two ways:

• One is through a free proxy web site. But, the quality of these sites isn’t really reliable and they tend to contain spam and often get barred by schools and offices.

• The second is by using a PC that has access to the blocked site and operating it via remote control.

Now, here are the tricks to get a Facebook unblock at school or work:

• Set up the Facebook Access at School application on your home PC. With this application you can access Facebook or any site from school or work. It functions by searching for non-blocked proxies sites. So when you’re in school, you just inform someone, like your friend perhaps, who has access on Facebook and is using this application and ask him for the URLs of currently non-blocked proxies. Access the URL through your school or workplace browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox ) and search for Facebook.


• If no one is available online to assist you with the URLs of currently non-blocked proxies, try to get Facebook unblocked via a proxy website.



• While at school, you may also navigate your home PC by using a remote control device. But, for this to work, your home PC should have access to Facebook. Although this technique can be effective, it may not always come handy as there are schools and offices that do not allow the installation of remote control software on their computer system.

Nana’s face lit up. Beaming, she landed a quick peck on my face and glided to the door. ‘I’ll do it tonight’, she announced.


And you? Do you have any Facebook Blocked or Facebook unblock stories?

Facebook Proxy - What’s the Deal?

Posted: June 25th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: General Facebook Information | Tags: , , , , , , , | No Comments »
Facebook Proxy

After our exam in Literature, I went to the cafeteria to meet the gang and get my thoughts off the grueling exam. I found the group huddled tightly at our favorite table. “That’s weird, they seem to be in one heck of a serious conversation”, I said to myself as I hurried to join them.

“Hey! What’s up? Everyone’s so serious! Did someone die or something?”

“Don’t you know?” Ken asked glumly. “Know what?” I innocently replied.

Then Ana blurted out, “The school just installed a new firewall! Say goodbye to Facebook, Friendster and MySpace.”

Snap. Is the admin seriously blocking social networks? Can we unblock Facebook?

Just when I felt that my whole social life was starting to crumble, the tech geek Nikko arrived. “Don’t worry guys we can use a Facebook proxy.”

He said in a matter-of-fact voice. We all sighed in relief then Ana went goggle eyed and exclaimed, “Oh! A Facebook proxy! Umm… What exactly is a Facebook proxy? Come to think of it, what is a proxy?”

WHAT INDEED is a proxy? According to Nikko:

• A proxy is a computer system or application program that takes the role of a go-between for client requests about resources from other servers.

• A proxy is also used to cache web pages from a web server in order to increase the speed of access to a resource.

• A proxy gives someone online privacy by protecting his IP address from the web server he is visiting. In other words, it gives him a little anonymity while browsing through the web. Only a Little anonymity though because the ISP still logs completely all his web browsing activities and the hops taken in between.

• Furthermore, a proxy can be used to go around internet filters and firewalls. On a darker note, this could also mean that it is utilized to gain unauthorized access to websites and other networks.

“Okay, so a proxy mainly has the purpose of anonymity and speeding up web browsing. But how does it work?” I asked and Nikko continued to explain:

• The client requests a service available from a different server—maybe a file, a connection or a web page, by connecting to the proxy server.

• The request is evaluated by the proxy server according to its filtering rules, i.e. IP address or protocol.

• Then the proxy connects to the relevant server and requests the service in behalf of the client. The proxy server has the option to change the client’s request or the server’s response and can even provide the request without contact from the target server (caching).

• In a normal HTTP transaction (i.e. requesting a web page), the IP address of the user is transmitted along with the request so that the information can be relayed back to the user. This then is placed in the web server’s log. In using proxies, the IP address is sent only to the proxy server which then requests the information for him. A correctly configured web proxy will not forward the user’s IP address to the web site he is visiting. However, anonymity is limited to the target server as the proxy will still have a record of his IP address and his web browsing.

“Ah, so that’s why Facebook proxies are so popular. They let you access Facebook anonymously and they can go around filters and firewalls. That is so cool! ”, I said excitedly.

“Don’t get too excited yet”, Nikko remarked. “The choice of what proxy to use is crucial. You should only use a proxy server of which the owner is known and trusted and one that has a clear privacy policy. Otherwise, you would be compromising your privacy for a little Facebook time.”

Nikko’s final words got me thinking. After finding out what a proxy is and what its uses are and after discovering that no matter how good it seems, there still is a negative aspect to it, should I really risk things and use a Facebook proxy? What do you think?


TheFacebook.com : A Trademark Infringement?

When we talk of social networking sites, many of us think of Facebook, which of course lives up to its trademark – TheFacebook. With millions of users around the globe, Mark Zuckerberg’s social networking site is indeed TheFacebook, if you get my drift. However, as expected from any idea that hits the pot of gold at the end of that double rainbow (and this is a very rare occurrence), his has also been subjected to a series of ugly and messy legal disputes. These have been perpetrated by his college ‘chums’ the most recent of which is Aaron Greenspan. So what exactly are the contentions against the site?


• First off, Facebook is a generic term, in Harvard at least. It used to refer to photos of incoming freshmen students of the university. These photos were printed then distributed presumably around the campus.

• Second, ConnectU founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra state that Zuckerberg stole the idea from them after he was hired to work on their website. Simply put, they and other people who were involved in the creation of ConnectU particularly Sanjay Mavinkurve, Joe Jackson, and Victor Gao may have a right to ownership of TheFacebook brand due to the idea originating from their own.



• Third, as if the claim of the aforementioned individuals was not enough, Greenspan figured into the picture by saying that months before Zuckerberg launched his site, he used the term The Facebook to refer to a component of his online service called houseSYSTEM.

• Finally, Zuckerberg seems to be pushing his college friend and website co-founder, Eduardo Saverin out of the ownership portrait due to money fights.

Of course Zuckerberg is appalled by all the shots against him and his million dollar baby and no one blames him for feeling this way. But after reading the above arguments, do you now think that TheFacebook is a trademark infringement? Or is the world just full of envious people who want to cash in on something big?



How Do We Ward Off Facebook Impostors?

Impostors on Facebook

Facebook impostors are proliferating alarmingly as reported by the media. What started as a social networking website founded five years ago by Mark Zuckerberg, then a Harvard computer science major student, along with his colleagues, to communicate with friends and other contacts, has now become a medium for unscrupulous individuals to hatch their evil schemes.

Just recently, alarming exposĂŠs on scam artists, hackers, identity thieves and other Facebook Impostors posing as friends and stealing personal information from members rocked the global social networking community drawing almost universal criticism of the website.


One report tells of Bryan Rutberg of Seattle, USA, whose account was used to extort money from his friends. Rutberg’s impostor posted “Bryan NEEDS HELP URGENTLY!!!” on his status update to which one of his friends responded by sending money to London where Rutberg was allegedly robbed and in need of fare to get back to the U.S.



In another event, Anthony Stancl, a resident of New Berlin, Wisconsin, solicited naked photos of high school boys by posing as a woman on his Facebook account. He purportedly used the photos to compel the young men to engage in sexual acts with him. Stancl was later seized by authorities on grounds of 12 complaints of felony, which included ‘sexual assault of a child younger than 16 and possession of child pornography’.

Even a public official like President Bharrat Jagdeo of Guyana wasn’t spared from this vicious online modus operandi. In his case, an account was set up containing 174 supporters and two photo albums featuring the Berbice Bridge in Guyana and pictures of international leaders, some posing with the South American head. Jagdeo denied any involvement on the existence of the account and sought the assistance of the police to investigate on this matter.

In the light of these disturbing incidents, how do we ward off Facebook impostors?

Jim Lewis, director of the technology and policy program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, pointed out two primary ways to keep Facebook impersonation schemes at bay. First is to keep your computer anti-virus programs updated, and second is to inform online companies of your need for a better privacy protection.

Facebook’s management is also doing its part in reducing the occurrences of impersonations. For this purpose, the site offers the following advice to members who want to protect the safety of their online profiles:

• Be suspicious of anyone — even friends — who ask for money over the internet. Verify their circumstances independently, either by calling them directly, or checking with mutual friends.

• Choose a strong password and use unique credentials for each of your web accounts. Facebook says hackers tap into one site and then try to reuse passwords on others.


• Use an up-to-date browser that features an anti-phishing blacklist.

• Use and run anti-virus software on your computer.

• Reset your Facebook password if you suspect your account has been compromised.

• Have more than one contact e-mail address. This will help if one of them is hacked.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB), on the other hand, has also issued guidelines in order to avoid internet fraud on social networking sites, to wit:

• Be extremely wary of messages from Facebook friends or strangers that direct the user to another website via a hyperlink.

• Before wiring money to a friend in a jam, users should attempt to contact their friend outside of the social networking site, such as over the phone or via e-mail to confirm the situation. If that’s not possible, BBB recommends asking them a question to which only they would know the answer.

• Users should always make sure their computer’s operating system’s anti-virus and firewall software are up to date.

There! That should keep us safe.

    Oh YES! I have had that experience myself about a week ago.

    A CyberCriminal contacted my friends stating that I was robbed in London and desperately needed money for fare back home.

    I had a few friends contact me asking if it was true, which of course it wasn’t. I had no way to contact my list of friends on Facebook to warn them that this was happening because the criminal changed my password and I have been unable to get into my account.

    However, I sent Twitter tweets, which is integrated with my Facebook, announcing was was happening and not to fall for the scam. My employer used her Facebook account, since we have a lot of the same Facebook friends, to explain the situation and letting them know that it was not me asking for money and to report it to Facebook if they were approached.

    How did they get access to my Facebook account? Not sure, but about 2 weeks before that my email address was hacked and over 100,000 emails were sent from my email address. Those criminals were spamming for prescription drugs, male enhancements and the so called Nigeria letters stating someone died and named the recipient as their heir. So supposedly, that is how they got my Facebook access.

    I’m still waiting for Facebook to quit dragging their feet in getting my account back under my control so that I can change my password. Seems they are taking their own sweet time about it although they were quick about getting my information from me to prove the account was mine.

    My advice? Change your passwords diligently and do NOT use just words or numbers, but a combination of letters (small & caps), numbers and symbols. Believe me, being a victim of hackers is not a fun process at all and not only that it also affects your credibility online.

    Sincerely,
    Shelby Carr

You have to be really stupid to give away your bank acount and think you will get millions of dollars just for keepig someones money.
    The other thing those people write is that they are looking for investment partners. Think before you act. Why on earth would a serious businessman try to make investment connections by randomly writing a person they know nothing about. It’s sad that the majority of these scams are from Africa but it’s even more sad that people actuallt belive those mails.

Which Facebook Status is the Funniest?

Posted: May 11th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: General Facebook Information | Tags: , , , , , | No Comments »
Which Facebook Status Update is the Funniest?

My sister was busy reading a novel for her literature class so I had to keep things nice and quiet in our bedroom. That means, (sigh!) no dvd marathons for me tonight. To kill boredom, I logged on to Facebook, started visiting my friends and landed on Ely’s page. Suddenly, I let out a loud (and rather embarrassing) snort as I tried to cover a hearty guffaw after reading Ely’s Facebook status. Curious, my sister closed her book and came over to where was I was seated.


A few seconds later, my sister’s giggle made a loud duet with my own cackle as I showed her Ely’s Facebook status:

“Ely is a vegetarian, not because he loves animals but because he hates plants.”

Now who could resist that?

Not to be outdone, my sister suggested that we search the internet for amusing Facebook statuses and make a list of them so we could judge which Facebook status is the Funniest.

Our Top Funniest Status Picks

• Smells better than he tastes
• is beating his previous record for number of consecutive days alive.
• is color blind and trying to solve a rubiks cube… This could take a while…
• Is looking for something to find
• Is in quarantine
• Is made of mostly foreign material
• Is havingtrou blewithhis spacebar.
• Is coming to a theater near you.
• Is trying to think of clever things to say after inhaling from a helium balloon.
• Wouldn’t be caught dead with a necrophiliac
• Is made mostly of water


• Pondering a move into the 3rd dimension
• Has noticed that friends are scarce, when not on Facebook
• Is intending to live forever-so far, so good
• Is trapped in the facebook status message textbox; send help!
• Is able to resist everything but temptation
• Gonna procrastinate later
• is using fake ID to spoof his IP and derail trace route to surf privately on facebook
• votes no on the Congressional Relief Action Plan C.R.A.P
• says, Love your enemies. It will confuse them!
• used to play sports. Then she realized you can buy trophies. Now she’s good at everything.
• thinks if you give a person a fish you feed them for a day, teach a person to use facebook and they won’t bother you for weeks.
• feels like getting some work done…and so he is sitting down until the feeling passes
• says my computer just beat me at chess…but it was no match for me at kick boxing



So, which facebook status is the funniest? It’s hard to decide really because your choice may not be the same as mine or the next person’s. After all, yours would always reflect your dogma. Whichever one you choose though, there is one sure thing that I know we can all agree on, and that is, Facebook’s status update feature lets users inform friends of whereabouts, actions, or thoughts in the most clever and silliest lines imaginable. It just does not give others a chance to peek into your private life and you to peek into theirs — facebook status also gives you a few laughs, a pinch of giggles, some snorts, and a whole lot of fun!

So, again, looking at our list, which facebook status is the funniest? Hmm… maybe you have already come up with a winner! Post it below for others to use.

Mark Zuckerberg – What Does It Take?

Posted: April 15th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: General Facebook Information | Tags: , , , , , | No Comments »
Mark Zuckerberg the Owner of Facebook

Do you have what it takes to be the next Mark Zuckerberg (Owner of Facebook)? If you decide to drop-out from college and start your own company, do you think you will rake in $100 million in revenue in as short as three years? This is a very impressive accomplishment that few, if any have ever accomplished.


To answer that question, let’s examine the performance credentials of Mark Zuckerberg and see if you have what it takes?

• Already a creative inventor in early life, Zuckerberg created Synapse, a music recommendation system, and Wirehog, a peer-to-peer client. He later abandoned both projects to pursue new ventures.

• At 24 years old, Zuckerberg is worth $1.5 billion. Forbes.com proclaimed him as the world’s youngest billionaire, occupying the 785th slot in 2008.

• Unlike other young billionaires below 30 who became rich for inheriting old money from their family heirloom, Mark is a self-made billionaire.

• His fortune came from creating the globally popular and hugely profitable social-networking site called Facebook in February 4, 2004. He was 20 at that time and was taking up computer science at Harvard University. Along with his colleagues, he found the said networking site for college students, with the aim of using it as a social network tool to communicate with friends and other contacts. The site became an instant hit for the university amassing registered members of two thirds of the school’s student body within a couple of weeks.


• Three months before he launched Facebook, Zuckerberg created Facemash, a website similar to HOT or NOT. However, Harvard administration was not pleased with Zuckerberg’s site, which compared students’ dorm photos side-by-side, and subjected him to disciplinary action for it.

• In the spring of 2005, Zuckerberg quit school to put up his own company in Silicon Valley, Palo Alto, California.

• In September 2006, The New York Times and other news media reported that Yahoo had made a staggering $1 billion offer to purchase Facebook, but Zuckerberg and his partners declined. There was also an earlier rumor that Viacom offered $750 million to buy the site.

• Zuckerberg’s reason for turning down the buyout offers was to stand firm to his vision of building a community with a lot of people communicating with one another.

• True to his vision, Facebook’s registered users escalated to 19 million, which included employees of government agencies and Fortune 500 companies by 2007. With more than 9.5 million of its registered members visiting daily, the site was now considered sixth most-trafficked in the U.S. alone and was beginning to compete with Google and other tech companies in Silicon Valley for internet time. During this time, expectations were on that the site would heap up a hefty $100 million in profits. Projections were also cast that, by 2010, Facebook would be generating $969 million in revenue with 48 million users.

• Also in 2007, Zuckerberg bagged the Crunchie Award for ‘Best Startup CEO.’

• In 2008, Time Magazine included Zuckerberg on their list for The World’s Most Influential People of 2008, falling under the Scientists & Thinkers category for his online global phenomenon, Facebook, and ranking 52 out of 101 people.


With all that said, do think you have what it takes to be a Mark Zuckerberg?

    thank you for dropping by my site. like what i said, facebook is a thing to reckon with by other sites. take note of the other social networking sites like multiply and friendster. they are slightly copying some features of facebook. just an observation though.
