These two companies are the giants of social networking in North America as well as some other continents. Facebook has lately gained its reputation as a place for “universities” and myspace is myspace… Facebook is really big in Canada, probably the biggest social networking website used. Then there is sites such as Nexopia which only get recognized in certain provinces of Canada. Myspace on the her hand is the biggest deal on countries such as The United States, Australia or United Kingdom (Although U.K favors Facebook majorly as well.)
Here is a graph to show their ranking, click on the image to enlarge it.
Since myspace is more global it is more known around the globe and therefore you can see a big increase in myspace’s population in the graph above.
Here is what I think of both of these websites. I don’t understand it, it is not user friendly. Ofcourse someone who spends time on it and knows how it works will go “what are you talking about, its so easy to figure things out”…No, it isn’t. Both websites have profile options scattered all over the website. Here are the reasons I deslike Myspace.

Let me briefly say whats in my mind in four words. I Don’t Get It. I read the FAQ of the technorati website itself but heck that doesn’t even explain what most users would be looking for.
Authority system is basically another way of saying Blog Popularity. Which is totally BS. Here is why: The smaller blogs, such as this or another will almost never recognized and its authorities will remain low..and perhaps get lower.. while Other blogs are getting more and more authority.
How do these ‘Other Blogs’ get authority? well its simple, According to the info I read, The more people are talking about your site basically giving out reactions and the more blog have your blog under link Blogroll then you will surely get some good reputation.
This is an unfair deal because according to technorati’s search engine it will only display search results with the most authorities then the other blogs who could probably have better content then the newer blogs.
They seriously need to get rid of that shit. Why couldnt they do it like digg.com, atleast then people’s blog popularity/content would be evenly distributed. We are here working on codes to submit good content to search engines, develop the blog more and write more articles so why should we have to fight over some authority that we probably don’t even want.
You fail technorati. You pissed me off enough.
Update: Haha, As I finished writing this article and submitted it. Technorati pinged my blog and I now have one authority lol. Thanks goes to Lori’s blog link ;).
No one likes annoying pop ups, annoying spyware and annoying worms that affect our computers and slow down our web browsing speed. How can we be sure of what websites to trust and what to not trust? This is a difficult question to ask if your pretty new to computers but others might find it a bit understanding.
I’ll cover some of the web browsers. Internet Explorer is not the only program you can use to visit websites. You have to understand, Internet Explorer is a product of Microsoft and Microsoft is one of the giant companies that are being targeted by hackers every day due to their non-open-source policies. Since Internet explorer is being exploited so much and hack attempts occur to Internet Explorer (IE), it is perhaps that most fragile internet browser out there. And yet, pretty much everyone uses this; It is
acceptable and safe if you are under an anti virus application such as Norton but lets say you do not have any anti virus, you will not last long.
The safest way to surf the way, perhaps is by having a firewall or some sort of anti virus running at all times. The reason a firewall is necessary (not the xp built in firewall, what piece of s***) because a firewall prevents all incoming ports to your Computer. Ports are like doors to your computer, the more you have open the easier for people to invade you, this is why routers are wonderful. Routers (gadgets that enable to use the same internet for more then one computer under a network) will also block all ports, this is very nice and if your routers enable you to see your stats, you would see the attack attempts at your router. An anti virus works similarly, the second you download a file or run a program that it does not know it will check it and if it contains virus it will alert you and ask you to remove it..this is good..until the hacker has some sort of remote access to your computer then he can simply installs his virus on your computer without you even noticing about it.

The past year and the start of this year has been a painful time for Demonoid and its owner Deimos. Just like many other torrent tracker websites Demonoid has been facing many legality problems. For those who do not know what Demonoid is; it is one of world biggest torrent indexing & tracking website. Demonoid stopped user registration long time ago and the only way to get any membership was through Invites.
Most of us were unaware of when Deimos first start to feel the force of the law back in June, the new laws in the Netherlands prohibited him for running Demonoid from Netherlands in a safe environment. He changed location of the server and website and starting running Demonoid from North America, Canada. Now Canada as oppose to other countries is not so tough on p2p websites. They are ‘easy going’ you could say as compare to the U.S or other European nations.
There was a short time when the transfer was happening, I am sure everyone was panicking 
I know I was but it was temporary and we were then told of what had happened afterwards. The site started to function again, efficiently under a new data center until The Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) wanted to put their nose in the business. All Canadian traffic was blocked from Demonoid in October - September and on going. I live in Canada, this is bad news. Anywho, The CRIA accomplished what they wanted to do from the begining, they finally got their chance to shutdown Demonoid on November 9th 2007. Darn.
Just recently I was told that Demonoid Tracker is back online, its been maybe a day or so that I am aware of this and it is amazing news to most of us here, and funny enough the tracker works in Canada as well. We are not sure of whats happening at this moment with Demonoid, but Demonoid has been a fighting and I hope they do not forfeit yet.
Updates on this will be posted ASAP.
