So now MoveOn the online campaign group is taking action, they created a Facebook group called “Facebook, stop invading my privacy“, the group has 9,724 members until writing this post. And MoveOn also started an online petition.
Here what they had to say :
“When you buy a book or movie online, or make a political contribution, do you want that information automatically shared with the world on Facebook?” the group asked.
“Most people would call that a huge invasion of privacy. But recently, Facebook began doing just that. People across the country saw private purchases they made on other sites displayed on their Facebook News Feeds.”
Meebo is working hard to make it so tempting for you to ditch your current standard IM’s and use their service. The first step was taken a while ago when Meebo announced that they have a new 3rd party development platform.
More than 200 developers joined in, and the initial result is that there is 20 new games now that can be played on Meebo between you and your friends. Some of those games are Chess, Checkers, Backgammon, Sudoku Wars, Battle Pool, Blackjack, Connect4, Texas Hold ‘em, and more.
This is just a first step, Meebo is planning to enter the world of Video, Music, Shopping, and more serious applications too.
Yep… IMAP is available for GMAIL now, although I wont start jumping in joy just yet. It seems that people are having hassles configuring it, so i would wait a bit, plus GMAIL doesnt FULLY supports IMAP, some features are not supported.
IMAP is good for multiple platform users, now you can access your mail from different platforms and keep the changes and see them from any platform….
If you login to your gmail and you cant see the setup for IMAP just try to logoff and login again and it will appear, if not just wait for couple of days.
