Facebook Frolics 2
The other half were busy posting Farmville updates.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

I’d be kinda interested in a poll question that asked people if the believe Facebook liberated Egypt into democracy? And how many know where Egypt is, too.

I think the roles of Facebook and Twitter were greatly overrated by the western press because they were the press’s primary sources of uncensored information. Not that they didn’t have a role, but that it was ancillary or facilitative, not formative.
Just my two cents, but the western media does go all gaga at bits and bytes, probably because they don’t have a clue as to how networks work, which also accounts for the gee-whiz about “cyber attacks.” It’s the press’s own cargo cult.
