2 reasons why you sould cancel friends request in Facebook
Reason 1: You dont know that person.
People want recognition, they love to habe lots of friends to make them highly popular. This is the reason they accept requests blindly from people they didnot know just to add number of friends in Facebook. But,this is not good in the long term because they may know you but they are not so close to you. Each of your message maybe left unreplied. You will be demotivated. YOu got so many friends but you got so little replies on your wall messages.
Reason 2: The person can copy your Facebook data.
When you accept someone as your friend in Facebook, that person can have access to your in depth personal details such as brithday, hobbiees, likes and dislikes. This data can be copied and used elsewhere. YOu should be careful. Set your profile to be highyly stright and do show your data to persons you close friends and family who you trust.

5 steps how to sync your Myspace account with your Facebook account
You have Myspace account? Now you can sync your Myspace account with your Facebook account, for free.
Each and every time you type any personal message in your MySpace, your message will also appears in your Facebook account, located on your FB's profile page.
No need to log-in to your Facebook just to post the same message again. This process can be done automatically via several clicks. Your two different social account shares one single message from you, updated from Myspace.
Here's the 5 steps how to sync your Myspace with your Facebook account
1. Log in to your Myspace account, click to My Account link (visible besides Help and Sign Out link).
2. After your account info displayed, look for 'Sync' link. It should be the last link, right at the right side of 'No More CAPTCHAs'. Click on the 'Sync' link to start enabling sync between your Myspace account and your Facebook account.
3. The Sync to another service box will appear. You will see Twitter and Facebook link here. Click on the 'Get Synced' link. It turns red when you hover up your mouse pointer on it. Myspace will ask you for conformation later.
4. Facebook permission page will appear.
Here, Facebook asks your permisson to sync your MySpace data (images, profile info, update status) with your Facebook data in your Facebook profile.
Every time you update your Myspace status, the message will appears on your Facebook account automatically without a need to log-in into your Facebook account. Your Facebook friends will see your Myspace messages (texts, links, pictures, videos) right after you've done updating them from Myspace.
5. Click the 'Allow' button to enable sync process to start between your Myspace and your Facebook. The sync process may take a while, depends on your internet speed.
The disadvantage is, each time you update your status in Facebook, your status messages will not appear in your Myspace account.
Your MySpace friends can rad any messages you have posted from Facebook. But, if you updates your status in Myspace, the same message will also appear in your Facebook account right after that, automatically.
The same trick works for your Twitter account.
Click the 'Sync' button, wait for the conformation box, click on the Allow button, then you can post any message from your Myspace account just to republish the same message in your Facebook and in your Twitter account.
Facebook tests "subscribe to" option
Facebook is testing new feature, the 'Subscribe To' link option below profile picture of the Facebook user. I get this 'subscribe to' while browsing in the wild, it is not officially released yet at the time I posted this for you,
You can subscribe to the person's News Feed, Pages or I think maybe Notes, Pictures and Wall Messages, if there is any new content availabe in his/her Facebook account. Usually, the notification icon alerts you each time your friends react back or simply giving some feedback.
The "Subscribe To" options is quite similar with "Follow" option in Twitter, where the "Follow" options enables you to read the latest messages, rumblings and emotional tweetings from any person you've followed.
Majalah PC Karangkraf
I love to read Majalah PC published by Karangkraf.
This is the one and only computer magazine written in Bahasa Melayu, our native language here in Malaysia. Majalah PC was an adaptation of PC Magazine, English written computer magazine with hundred thousand of loyal readers around the world.
I learned a lot of computer tricks from Majalah PC. Its selling price in Kota Kinabalu was 6.60 Malaysian Ringgit. I missed several issues several times due to my busyness, i feel my life was incomplete without reading the latest edition of Majalah PC comes out early each month.
I saw a huge improvemet especially in the content presentation of Majalah PC. The front cover and the background for each page was stunning. Their designer was very creative by showing a complete blend between the content and the graphics.
I recommended you to read Majalah PC by Karangkraf if you want to know more computer tricks and new skills, especially if you dont want to read English magazines. You will be updated with latest computer hardwares too together with latest smartphones and the latest news in computing trends.
They give you tips on how to do something with something via visual step by step guide added in easy to understand instructions.
I always support Majalah PC, especially Ani Nadila. Girls do have 'powers'.

6 steps on how to sign up for a free Facebook account
You've heard your friends have their own Facebook.
A friend ask you what is your Facebook account and you still dont know, or in another situation, friends ask you this schematic question "do you have your Facebook account?
To register as a Facebook user, you need to sign up for an account. Its free and open for everyone at every age level, at any profession.
Here are the 6 steps on how to sign up for a free Facebook account:
Step 1: You must have an active email address. I personally recommended you to use Gmail, a free email from Google. Yahoo Mail is good but Yahoo will ads up your inbox with flash ads. Gmail loads faster and provides larger email storage with minimal ads. with Gmail, you can swith to HTML based Gmail account which has no ads at all (for free!).
Step 2: Go to Facebook homepage. Set your own unique name and password in mind before registering it. When done, fill in your personal info - your first name, your last name (for Malaysian, the first name is your name and the last name is your father's name), your email used to create this Facebook account, your password (make sure other people dont know your password) and you birthday. I have to admint you can fake all this info, just in case you needed privacy or for your own safety.
Step 3: Use your real name of your nick name known by your friends, family members or working colleagues. Choose wisely because your friends will find you based on the name you use in Facebook. If you use a name unknown to them, they cant find you and they will have a big difficulty finding you.
Step 4: Skip essential part during your registration process. Facebook may ask you to find your friends who use Facebook via your contact list derived from your email, upload a profile picture or filling up personal details. You can do this later. Our main priority is to get your Facebook validated.
Step 5: when done, Facebook will sent an activation link into your email account that you provide during the registration process. Please log in to your email, go to your inbox, find the email from Facebook. The title should be "Welcome to Facebook". At least, find a email message titled with Facebook name. Click on the activation link.
Step 6: When your new Facebook account has been validated, you can now add up some pictures, write some short info about yourself, searching for your friends' Facebook profile and add them as your friends. This is the fun part! The second fun begins when you are connected with them as friends and you can exchange messages with them via their wall, comments and images. To enable this, make sure your Facebook profile is connected with their's.
Step 7: Have fun! Look for new friends, Facebook will not limit how much a friends you can add in one day (but Friendster does!). Enjoy it! Its more fun that sms, Twitter or Friendster.
You can know what your friends thought about their activity, their surroundings, their emostions expresses in their wall massages and stories about things happened around them.
Facebook promised, they will keep your account as a free one all the time.
A woman Buglarized by her Facebook friend
Dont tell your Facebook friends that you will go out tonight and leave your home unattended by posting it in your wall massage. At least, ask your younger brother or your neighbouring friend to stay in your home for the night. The bad side of being honest in social networking is, bad people may know whre you live and aimed to steal precious things from your house right after your leave.
As reported by 7Online news, a woman's house in Floyd County, Indiana was bulglarized by her own Facebook friends. Her security camera catches the image of the buglar and she posted it on her Facebook profile. Her Facebook friends helped her identify who is in the image. Finally, she fidns out the buglar was actually one of her friends in her Facebook's friends list.
I was surprised reading this news, never expect an online friend sneaked into my house and brings away my computer.
