Every single time I log into Facebook it always complains that my email is invalid, I don’t understand how it can me invalid if I am using it all the time. I says to send a email to confirm that it’s valid, but I never ever get it! But I still get emails from Facebook when someone comments or sends me a message or something like that. I don’t understand why Facebook keep saying my email invalid it has never done that before. Just wondering if anyone else is having these problems too?
It’s just starting to bother me because it’s every single time now. I suppose I can contact Facebook and figure out what is going on. Because I am getting sick of it!
Do you have a lot of followers that are spam, or just inactive accounts or are you following people that are no longer active? Do you have a lot of them? You don’t want to go through your Twitter account and look at each twitter profile to see if you want to keep following them or not, right? Because that would just take to long wouldn’t it? Yep. Well I found a perfect website where you can manage your Twitter’s followers and who you follow. It’s a service called Twerp Scan and it scans your followers and the ones you follow and displays them in a nice format that shows how many tweets they posted, how many followers, and when they last tweeted. This way you can really make your Twitter account nice and clean.
How do I use Facebook? That is the question.
Well I wanted to discus How to use Facebook like how I use it. As most of you may or may not know that Facebook is enormously popular, but it can be frustrating to others. The design of Facebook leaves a lot to be desired and there are too many things to do on Facebook.
There is no doubt that Facebook is very powerful social networking tool. So how can you best use it? Well I’m going to show you what I do to manage and enjoy Facebook.
You been hearing about Twitter a lot lately, right? What is Twitter? You may ask. Well Twitter is a series of chirps, in social networking terms that is. Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users’ updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author’s profile page and delivered to the author’s subscribers who are known as followers. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications.
Do you have another computer right next your main machine? I do, I have little file server right next to my main machine and I was looking up KVM switches a while back and I just wasn’t sure that it would work with my set up, I have a Logitech G15 gaming keyboard and I have heard that people had a few issues with using it on a KVM switch.
So I recently stumbled upon a virtual KVM switch called Synergy, this is open source and they even give you the information and other stuff to help you edit the build if you would like to, But I see no need into doing it, unless you have a good reason.
It works on Windows 95 all the way to Windows 7, Unix, and Mac OSX.
Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It’s intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).
Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is as simple as moving the mouse off the edge of your screen. Synergy also merges the clipboards of all the systems into one, allowing cut-and-paste between systems. Furthermore, it synchronizes screen savers so they all start and stop together and, if screen locking is enabled, only one screen requires a password to unlock them all.

The set-up of this program is really easy. Just follow the instructions at their website.
You can even set it up to auto start when your computer starts up so you don’t have to worry about it.
You do have to have a TC/IP network set up in order to use this, but most of use would have this set up if they have multiple computers in their office/bedroom. It is a great application if you have a windows machine, Mac and a linux box hooked up to 3 different displays and only wants to use one mouse and one keyboard, it works great!
If you want to learn more about it, just go to their website at http://synergy2.sourceforge.net

I’m a really big fan of Pidgin IM client because for me it’s open source and it works really well. But the downfall of this is that the interface isn’t that great in my opinion but I have found a way to give it a much better look and I will show you how to do this.
Before we begin, make sure you have Pidgin installed and other plugins, I recommend Facebook and Musictracker plugins.
Also one more thing before we start customizing is to make sure you back up this folder “C:\Program Files\Pidgin\pixmaps\pidgin”
After you have done that, exit out of pidgin and lets get to customizing!
Browse to this location C:\Program Files\Pidgin\pixmaps\pidgin and the contents should be like the one in the screenshot (left).
Now download these files, I edited them my self so what you will have to do is just drag and drop and replace all the files. Download
You can either extract it to: C:\Program Files\Pidgin\pixmaps\pidgin or just extract the compressed file and drag and drop, either way will work.
After that is complete, just run pidgin and everything should work just fine, you should have new icons and such.
If all done correctly, it should look something like this, depending on your configuration
If you have any problems implementing this new theme into pidgin, feel welcome to comment below and I will try to help you the best that I can.
Facebook successfully fought a malicious worm Thursday that has plagued the social networking site for two days by luring victims to a fake Facebook Web site and demanding that they submit login credentials. In Thursday’s phishing scheme, the user received a message from FBStarter.com. Wednesday’s attack contained the address "BAction.net. Criminals will then use the acquired information to add to spam lists or for identity theft purposes, with the hopes that members often use the same passwords for multiple accounts. Once Facebook learns of a phishing attack, the company deletes the URL from members’ pages, blocks additional postings, and removes the redirect to the URL that appears in e-mail messages.
Users who suspect that they’re a victim of a phishing attack should immediately change their passwords and notify the company of the scam.
