Latest Scam Going Around Facebook

Sorry that I had to send this message.

Since Facebook has recently become very popular, has become the many complaints that Facebook has become unacceptably slow. The report shows that the reason is that Facebook has a number of non-active members and, secondly, many new Facebook members. We want to send this message to see whether you're active members or not. If you're active, please send this message to at least 15 users. Use the "Copy - Cut and Paste" to show that you are still active. Those who do not send this message within 2 weeks in, will be removed in order to get more space. Send this message to your friends to show me that you are still active, and do not want to be removed.

Why do people pull this crap. It's not just Facebook, but other sites too. What makes people/trolls lame enough to think they can pull this kind of stuff on anyone.
Like facebook is going to leave it up to users to let them know if the users are active or not. I'm pretty sure they know who is or not. But don't take my word for it, but I'm not buying into the spam.

Traffic??

I remember when I started this blog, I had no clue at all what I was doing or where I was going with it. About the time I started getting tired of all the drama of message forums and thinking maybe I'll give blogging a chance. Figured blogging would be something I could control on what and where it goes. But you know, sometimes I think it's tries to control me on which way it wants to go. ;-)

Anyway, getting tried of forums, I figured blogging would be something I'd give a try. I remember when I started noticing people starting to drop in and even leaving comments. Hmm, I thought this was pretty cool so I started looking for was to get a few more in it and see where this goes.
Well, there's a photo blog that most of you I'm sure know about called New York Nitty-Gritty. I found this blog on Google one day doing a NY photo search, liked the blog and started going there every day. Then started noticing he had an Entrecard widget with a different picture. I clicked a few times and found other blogs and Entrecard. One thing lead to another and I joined Entrecard. Enjoyed using Entrecard even where I started seeing friends and other blogs that I enjoyed a lot started getting ran out of the system. But have done well using the system up until the point that the paid ads came out. Then like many other blogs I've seen, my traffic started falling off. Couple of times lately, I've seen to advertise on my blog dropped down to 64 and 128 ec's. I get vert little traffic out of Entrecard these days. In fact I wondering if it's really worth bothering with anymore.

So I've been playing around with other systems to see what happens. I added BlogUpp to my blog again. It seems to be bringing in about the same amount of traffic as Entrecard does.
Then I added Adgitize. I'm liking it a lot more and it's less work with more traffic than Entrecard gives me these days. Plus I get to widget surf like I used to do with Entrecard, but I only have to do one hundred a day. Only problem I hate, is some people don't place a widget on their blog and you hit a dead end. But that's ok, I pick up on another blog and keep on surfing and I'll remember those that won't run a widget next time I cross them.
Also gave this blog it's own On The Bricks Fan Page over on Facebook which is bringing in a bit of traffic too. So now between the 3 new systems I've added on top of Entrecard, I'm seeing the traffic that once came from Entrecard once again, plus more.

Social Networking Sites


Do you use them??? I mean do you really use them or just join because it's there and become just another one of the numbers game. Oh, do you not know what "numbers game" means?? It's when you join, then add all the people you can find just in seeing how many you can get on your friendship list or following/followers.

Be it Twitter, StumbleUpon, Facebook or whatever system out there, I just don't get it why would someone join and then ignore people or only bother to speak now and then.
The sites must be called social networking for some reason, but it gets old when you speak and never get a reply and some wanted added on and have never spoke yet.
Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe it's just me. I don't know, but starting to rethink my list on these kinds of sites. They don't want social, why do I need to bother??

Alright, later.....

On The Bricks turning into a bitch fest???

Here we go again! Am I going to have to turn to playing online games or go back to playing with image making pregrams because I am getting so bored with websites anymore.
Why would people start up sites if they don't want to run them right?? Every site I get into for a while now is either built on lies or broken and buggy software. And if it's not broken, they monkey around with it until it is broken.

Anyone using Facebook?? There's one I started using a while back. They care less about their members, can't get any help or anything fixed on that site. Then they go changing the home page. Works and looks much like Twitter. Millions of people are hating it, but they won't listen to it's members.

Want to talk about Twitter??? Yep, I use it too. It's turned into garbage. Stays broken. I even started a new account because they wouldn't get my other account fixed. Worked good for about two weeks, not it's broken. Not to mention it's getting to be full of ads being twittered. And half the people you follow, won't follow back.

Anyone hang out at forums a lot?? There used to be a forum system called Ezboard. One of the largest systems on the internet. Well, one day they come up and say the software is to old to do anything with it. So they are going to build a bigger system to replace it. This was suppose to be a forum/Myspace/blogs all built together. Something for everyone all under one system and this system is called Yuku. LOL what a joke it turned out to be. More bugs than any site on the internet. And built totally on lies from the start! The user profiles are a copy of MySpace. The forums crash, posts disappear from time to time. They built blogs with not even half the tools you need and is attached to the users profile. They let porn and redirects slip into their ads. Not that's something for your child to see, huh! NOT!

MySpace! May just be that very thing. Just my space on the internet and nothing more. Yeah, I joined it too. Like it pretty good while someone isn't trying to hack into my account. Every few weeks I get message from MySpace telling me someone tried to hack my account and need to change password. But MySpace has gone pretty dead and boring the last few months.

Most all likes music I guess?? Tried Blipfm.com?? Fun site! Ok, it was until it broke. Half my links aren't working and I've been waiting and waiting and waiting somemore for someone to do something about it. Gotten not even any kind of answer back from them.

Entrecard.... Entrewhaaaaaaaaaaaat!! That is what I'm asking myself a lot lately because most of the widgets I see on blogs don't have the card showing. Just a dull black box with Entrecard image along with a green dot and check mark. How boring!
And 16,000 some odd number........ ummm, is that all the blogs there is using Entrecard?????? But I could half way believe this because every day when dropping on my way to 300 a day drops, I run across at least 10 blogs that have left Entrecard or blogs that have been deleted but still showing a widget.

Yeah, It looks like this blog is finding something to complain about all the time lately and it's not the direction I want it to go. But this kind of stuff stays on my mind because I'm getting so bored with sites that act like they could care less. And there's a lot more than I just listed that I could talk about along with more about each that I did list, but.........

I'm starting to bore myself with this subject! ;-)
Until next time...... Good day to you all! :-))
