Facebook, A New Trend for Relationship


Facebook is a free-access social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. Users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people. People can also add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. The website's name refers to the paper facebooks depicting members of a campus community that some US colleges and preparatory schools give to incoming students, faculty, and staff as a way to get to know other people on campus.
Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook with fellow computer science major students and his roommates Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes while he was a student at Harvard University. Website membership was initially limited to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It later expanded further to include any university student, then high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over. The website currently has more than 175 million active users worldwide. Facebook recently surpassed Myspace in amount of visitors, making Facebook the most popular social network, followed by MySpace and Twitter.
Facebook has met with some controversy over the past few years. It has been blocked intermittently in several countries including Syria and Iran. It has also been banned at many places of work to discourage employees from wasting time using the service. Privacy has also been an issue, and it has been compromised several times. It is also facing several lawsuits from a number of Zuckerberg's former classmates, who claim that Facebook had stolen their source code and other intellectual property.Facebook is a free-access social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.

The founder hope there is some advantage of this Facebook in social relationship, find any people in the past, may build social and business line, not just only trend for a little time.

When Google Adsense will be supported to Indonesian Language?


Google AdSense has been widely known as a blog monetizing alternatives. I think, even, it is not only for blogs. There are websites that have been harvesting bucks from displaying ads from Google AdSense. For some webmaster or bloggers, AdSense always becomes their first choice. Indonesian publisher also favouritize Google AdSense.
Unfortunately, until now Google AdSense has not supported Bahasa Indonesia. It is ambigu to not support Bahasa Indonesia for AdSense but Google accept ads to be displayed in Bahasa Indonesia thru AdWords. If you open AdSense-monetized websites from Indonesia, there are chances for you to view ads in Bahasa Indonesia.
I think that Google has to be more fair. If displaying ads in nonsupported language is prohibited, Google has to reject advertisement in nonsupported language. If Google still allows advertisement written in Bahasa Indonesia, Google has to include Bahasa Indonesia in its supported language.
Indonesia is fourth most populated country on the world. Its population is about 250 millions people. There are less than ten percent of its population which are connected to internet. But, we have to see that as opportunity. From time to time the connected population are increasing as the digital divide is narrowed.
Google has to admit that there are successful publishers from Indonesia. Of course some of them publises AdSense on MFA websites. But, there are also good AdSense publishers that doing business with honor and honesty. To help Indonesian publishers from cheating, There is no way except admitting Bahasa Indonesia as AdSense supported language.

Blogging For Money Through Blog Monetizing
Blog for money? "Um... I don't believe that." It was my thought last month. I don't believe in this kind of blog money making issue. I don't believe that until a friend of mine showed me her paypal balance. She has hundreds dollars of money in her paypal balance. From that time I realize that not everything on intertet is hoax.
Get paid for blogging is not hoax. There are many proof out there. Many bloggers have been paid for their posts. The amount of payment someone received from their posts are vary. Some bloggers make high payment and some make low payment. It depends on many things.
The sources of payment to bloggers are advertisers. Advertisers pay some money to blogger for writing about their products or services. They do what now we call for blog advertising. A new way of advertising that is believed to deliver their marketing message to the wider and right audience.
Advertise on blog will lead to wider and right audience because product or service will be written by thousands or millions blog. We admit that every blog has its readers or audiences. A reputed blogger is believed not to write untruthful posts so that blog readers will also believe in the message being delivered through blog post.
Get paid to blog has evolved to an alternative income source to some bloggers. Part time bloggers make additional income from this activity. But, do not forget that there are many bloggers make their full income from blogging. I think that you may enter this new game field, leaving behind your post for nothing and change it to blog for money.
