***The power of Facebook ;-) ****
An ailing grandmother is talking to her favourite granddaughter.
”Lori, I am old and weak, and I know that the time for me to leave is near. I want you to inherit my farm, including the barn, the villa, the tractors, the farmhouse, all the livestock and piggery.”
”Wow,” said Lori, stunned. “Thank you so much, Grandma! I didn’t know you even had a farm. Where is it?”
Her grandma replied, “You can find it on my Facebook account. Just click on the Farmville bookmark after you log on. My email address is “dgranny@yahoo.com,” and the password is “just4lori.”

***The power of Facebook ;-) ****
Most of us now a days will have Facebook & Twitter account or at least one of them. As for me I have both accounts heheh well each account have their own audience that the reason (most of my post in Twitter will be as simple as i could because restricted with 140 characters). Before this I have to go to two website to update the status Ohhh damn such a pain in the ass. But now… not anymore :-) The good part is there have now plenty of Facebook Twitter or Twitter Facebook application out there which can update both accounts status simultaneously. Now am using PingDroid
Currently am using HTC Hero Android mobile. Soo to use PingDroid you can download the PingDroid client/apps from Android Market.
If given an option which one to choose? Aaaaaa can I choose both? Heheheh
Before this I have Myspace, Friendster, Multiply and many more. Now a days I only update my Facebook and of cause cute miss Twitter :-)
There are so many social networks… Ermmm.. if you have lots social network account will you update or go there frequently? Anyway Twitter vs Facebook which one is better social network?
Facebook ermmmm…. its appeals to people who are looking to reconnect with an old friends or could be family members or even find a new friends. Mostly is to reconnect with an old friends I guess. Unlike Twitter mostly is to find new friends (my opinion). I share my Photos in Facebook rather than Twitter so I could update my friends and family what’s am up to. One can be very addicting to Facebook.. I have few friends who are very addicted to this Facebook (wake up … facebook…breakfast/lunch/dinner… facebook…work..facebook….before go to sleep again facebook) Facebook .. Facebook… FACEBOOKKKK.
We have Yahoo Messenger, MSN and many more for IM tools but now people rather use Facebook for email and chat or sharing photos & videos.
At first I found Twitter is a bit hard because the UI (user interface) not that user friendly compare to Facebook but hey went you know how to use it you will start tweeting 24hr (almost) huhuhu. If you set your twitter account as unprotected then whatever your post can be seen worldwide. Twitter has quickly build brand awareness and a loyal following, especially among bloggers, online marketers and many more. Basically anyone with something to promote will seem to find Twitter extremely useful.
