Yes it’s that time of year again when smokers will try and quit on the 10th of March. We all know the same story, they quit for the day or even the week and them woops back to puffing the sticks again. But wait can Facebook help with a new App, WeQuit, which is a charity and website set up to for No Smoking Day.

WeQuit believe it will make it easier for smokers to quit together rather than feeling alone. Their App will help friends give strength to each other games such as ‘The Wall of Shame’ to help. The Wall of Shame allows users to post pics of sly smokers breaking their resolution, shaming them to all on Facebook. How nice is that, smoke and get shamed!

Good luck to all you smokers!

I found this pic and just had to share this hilarious but slightly dangerous revenge ploy. So here’s how you do a Facebook revenge that can NEVER, I mean NEVER be lived down, EVER! Here’s the story in bullets:
•    Chris gets caught drinking after his sister (Katie) snitches on him to their strict Asian parents
•    Chris gets grounded for 3 months but looks for revenge and finds his sisters ‘Hook up List’, which states who she wants to ummm entertain and who she has done already!
•    Like any angry youngster Chris uploads it onto Facebook and tags all the guys listed!!!!!

Shock, shock, horror for poor Katie, I mean I can’t even imagine the shame she’ll feel for the rest of eternity. Check out her list and the LOL comments below:

Please let me know what you think and how you would react if this was done to you? Maybe a trip to another planet would be the best choice!

Nasty, perverted people have taken the new Facebook bra craze, in which Facebookers give details of their bra colour, and urged women to post naked adult movies of themselves on the net.

I must say I thought I was going mad when I saw that my FB friends had colours in their statuses. Until I discovered it was a viral campaign for Cancer Research and I willingly joined in the status fun. But then someone has to go and abuse this new viral trend by sending out this chain message;

“*****WARNING*** URGENT! FACEBOOK VIRUS ALERT. An email recently went out to women asking them to post the color of their BRA. THIS IS A VIRUS. To fix it, you must remove your bra, then go to Settings> Enable Webcam> Record Movie. Please repost to your status message.”

Obviously anyone with a brain cell is not going to fall for the above but instead people have started posted it in their statuses as a joke. Facebook is truly a place for freedom and fun, only there could a nasty prank be turned into a joke for all to laugh at!

Feeling sorry for yourself? Need more Facebook friends to show people your cool? Well help is at hand, an Australian company, uSocial, is charging £125 for blocks of 1,000 friends on Facebook and Twitter.

Chief executive, Leon Hill, confirmed an unprecedented surge of inquiries about his service over the Christmas period.

He told The Sun Newspaper: “Social networking sites can be cruel if you’re unloved – they show exactly how popular you are.

“People are buying pals so they have more mates to chat to, rather than sitting alone on their PCs.”

On the one hand this is a very sad side of social networking, how pathetic must people be to want to buy theirselves friends? But on the other hand, people may also want to promote their services or business and I guess there’s nothing wrong with that.

Lawyers for Facebook have also tried to get the service shut down.

The ‘8-Mile’ and ‘Clueless’ actress died from a heart attack at her home according to website TMZ.com. However, Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre spokeswoman Sally Stewart would not provide a cause of death, or any other information. TMZ sources say the 32-year-old actress’ mother discovered her unconscious in the shower. Editor of Parade Magazine, Jeanne Wolf, told Sky News that Murphy suffered from a heart murmur. She said. “She lit up the room when she entered. To think of her dying so young is very, very sad.”

Although the story was announced under an hour ago a facebook group named ‘R.I.P Brittany Murphy’ has received over 15,000 fans. Yolkstalk sends condolences to Brittany’s family and friends.

I thought it was only fair to check out the love groups of Facebook following on from my article ‘What Facebookers hate the most? Top 5 ‘hate groups’. There are a lot of ‘I love Family’ and ‘I love Jesus’ in the top 20 but here’s the top 5 love groups of FB-

1. I love my mum (2,925,7480 fans)– Although this group is actually two groups combined, both groups are in the the top 10 and the figure is the combined amount. Love you mum!

2. I Love Music! (2,494,801 fans)

3. I Love Cookie Dough (2,262,263 fans)

4. I love staying up late! (1,836,474 fans)

5. I love sleep! (1,805,384 fans)

I found the largest hate groups on Facebook and love the titles of these groups. Check them out, my favourite is number 5, I hate that!

This week I’ve been searching for the most stupid ‘if 1,000 people join i’ll…’ groups. It’s funny how people join such ridiculous groups, what’s the point? Here’s what people have been joining this week;

1.    If 1,000 people join I will shave a Gypies pubes and stick them on my face – that’s just plain nasty, but over 300 people want to see it happen !

2.    If 1,000 people join, nothing happens!!! – Now wonder there’s only 15 members!

3.    If 1,000 People Join I’ll Have A Picture Of My Shit As My Profile Pic – Again, another nasty group, why???

4.    If 1,000 feeble minded idiots join I’ll offer my 1stborn as human sacrifice – This guy wanted to see how many idiots joined, I think the only idiot is him!

5.    If 1,000 join this group, I’ll post a video of me eating an orange – This guy really did post the pointless video of him eating an orange, how bizarre!

According to the National Literacy Trust’s study, half of children (49%) believe that writing is “boring”. They would prefer to network online by messaging, commenting and writing blogs on sites such as Facebook and Bebo. I honestly don’t think that this will improve the spelling of children, in fact it will no doubt make it worse. People who use networking websites often write in text form, shortening words, so how can that improve they’re writing?
Yes, kids may want to write more as they are networking with friends but we’ve all done it and sent emails and mistakenly wrote the words ‘wanna’ or ‘thanx’. My friend at Uni even found that during her essay feedback she has used the word ‘gonna’ more than a handful of times. So, kids take a little break now and again and look at a book called a Dictionary to refresh your spelling memory.

I stumbled along a website called TheTextPage.com, which looks quite weird and uncommon amongst the majority of websites we see online. It’s full of colourful text and was created by an MBA student who didn’t have any money to pay his University fees. It’s funny because if you would have asked me If I think this idea could make more than $1, I’d probably just laugh and say ‘Hell NO’! But it has actually gained him over $28,000! I think it’s because it’s not only a quirky, fun and honest website but the guy is actually very intelligent and has established Pay Per character Advertising, which is very beneficial for search engine optimization. I think Google will want to get his number hah. Step2Reality TV has been following the story since the start and a documentary will be broadcasted in 2010. You can watch the trailer here:

So, I go onto Facebook happy as could be, see that I have a Notification, click on it and this is what I saw: ‘Would you cry is “Liana” died?’.

1-    WTF!

2-    The girl who did it was from my school days and we may have spoken twice in the 5 years we took classes together.

3-    WTF!!!

I just don’t get the stupid apps I see on there, why are people even doing it? Why did she do it? I didn’t look at the answer but hope that she did say yes, but then do I actually care? No, not really but I don’t want to see death as the first thing on my Facebook. So, please Facebook enough with the stupid apps.
