The Federal Bureau of Investigations may use fake identities on social networks to investigate criminal activities, according to a redacted FBI document acquired by digital rights advocacy group Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Specifically, the 33-page confidential presentation says undercover operations are helpful for communicating with suspects and targets of crime, gaining access to private information, and mapping social networks. However, the presentation expresses concern that undercover use may be complicated by the court’s decision in the trial of Lori Drew, who was acquitted of cyber-bullying a girl who later committed suicide, and that violations of terms of service by not using their own name can render access unauthorized.
The presentation instructs agents to investigate all witnesses on social networking sites, advising its own witnesses not to discuss cases and be careful about what they post online.
In general, the document, a presentation from the FBI’s computer crime and intellectual property section, details how federal agents should gather and use evidence found on social networks like Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn.
The bottom line is…If you are an honest law abiding citizen you have nothing to worry about…If you’re a criminal, crook, con artist you have a lot to worry about!

NewsWire Daily provides an interesting article about how the entrtainment industry is innovating social networking on various platforms to build engagement marketing with fans.
” When fans connect to a company using a social network identity, they are establishing the basis for a longer-term relationship. The data shared by these connections will allow companies to better segment and serve their fans.”
The NFL football is one of the biggest entertainment programs in the US. It is not only a form of entertainment, but it unites friends and families alike, amassing them into one big crowd of exited shouting fans. Authentic football jerseys are the symbolic part of this. Every true fan wants to have these relics in their wardrobe, the team jerseys of their favorite players. It is something which unites people even more.
These authentic football jerseys are part of our identity, they give us the social feeling of being together. We all love different teams, and are unified at the thought of being together at a football game. The most prevalent clothing is the football jersey. It is a way to show to others that you belong to a team, and a way to attract the attention of all. Jerseys can be really great when it comes to giving an identity.
Football jerseys come in both authentic and replica styles. There is a huge difference between an authentic football jersey and a replica. While both versions are embroidered with the player’s name, the authentic jersey also combines mesh sleeves, in comparison to the replica jersey which has both bodies and sleeves made of nylon mesh. The second difference is that an authentic football jersey also has an official NFL equipment logo sewn on. A replica can look like an authentic football jersey, but these subtle differences will always reveal the truth.
An authentic football jersey may also include an autograph, or it may come with a photo or other collectible if specially ordered in a sporting goods store. An authentic football jersey is a symbolic act to show to the world that you really belong to a team. You have no better means to do that apart from wearing the authentic outfit of the team. When you have an authentic football jersey on, you feel that you are a part of something bigger and greater than yourself, and become a better person.
You respect yourself more, and also have better understanding in others. It is extremely important a feeling for every true football fan. Wearing an authentic football jersey is not a fashionable trend or something. Casual fans are now more likely to purchase authentic jerseys. They want to feel part of the team. Authentic football jerseys are the most common sports outwear, bought by the fans. Not a single sporting activity has attracted bigger attention than football. That’s why wearing the jerseys is an important part of the fans’ lifestyle.

I must admit…I went to college and graduated with a bachelors degree only to come home to a “good” state job and college loans.
I didn’t major in business
I had no previous sales training
I had never marketed anything before
I hadn’t even heard of MLM when it was introduced to me
Here’s what I did learn when I opened my ears to the opportunity as oppossed to working 40 hrs a week for 45 yrs to receive 40% of my salary ….
After working as a case worker and being surrounded by state employees who I thought had “good” career jobs, all I saw was people telling me not to get “stuck” in this “dead-end” place. “This job will suck the life out of you.”
“You’re young, don’t waste your best years working for the state.”
The end results summed up to be:
40-60 Hr work weeks
No life outside of a job
Dealing with co-workers that had no type of drive or vision
Repeating the same mundane schedule until retirement
That wasn’t the life I wanted and I’m sure you don’t either. Bottom line, what I found was people often struggled for years before figuring out their formula for success; and lucky me, I got to plug into this phenomenal system that has helped me to generate hundreds of quality leads, earn multiple commission checks, and more training than I could ever imagine.
Beginners and seasoned professionals who are serious about exploding their businesses need to sign up now and start enjoying their life!”
I want to show you how an average 40 hr wage earner was able to say good-bye to Corporate America for good and replace his income working from home, spends quality time with his family, and still has more than just financial security!
I’m a top earner in the home based business industry and an internet master marketer. I am on course to become one of the top income earners in my primary company and build a financially successful business in 6 months… and I’m going to show you how. I’ve made the money and I’m very grateful for what I’ve been able to achieve in this industry. And now my #1 goal and my main focus is helping serious entrepreneurs achieve my level of success.
I will keep you on the cutting-edge of internet marketing and I’m going to reveal to you EXACTLY how the top earners DOMINATE and CRUSH the competition (hint hint** it has something to do with generating at least 100 leads per day and branding yourself as a leader… and I can help with both This industry doesn’t have to be a struggle… you now have a choice.
Well, to their credit, MySpace actually replied promptly to my e-mail complaint about the link to this Blogger page being blocked. And, unlike the last time it happened, the response actually addressed the problem specifically. So I applaud MySpace for such improvements. Maybe they aren’t the problem after all.
The MySpace explanation for the blocked link is:
We’ve recently discovered that BlogSpot pages are being used by spammers to send spam, so all links to that site have been disabled. Although you or your blog may not be associated with or linked to spam or spammers, to protect all MySpace Profiles from spam, phishing, and online scams, all links to Blogspot are blocked.
Which now begs the question: If BlogSpot pages are being used by spammers to send spam, what (if anything) are the Blogger folks doing to fix the problem? And, if they’re not doing anything about it, why shouldn’t I take my millions of readers and move to a different blog site?
[Addendum: Apparently, the Blogger/Blogspot folks were really slack-assed about dealing with the spammer problem, when it first arose. So they're now having to play catch-up. What idjits. DEATH TO SPAMMERS!]

Ever since MySpace and Facebook launched mobile sites in 2007, social networking has been tipped as the killer app that would get people using their phones to go on the mobile web. With February’s news that Facebook receives 100m visits a month through mobiles, that optimism appears well-founded. Indeed, figures from ComScore suggest a third of all internet activity initiated on a mobile phone is bound for Facebook, with Bebo on 3% of visits and MySpace and Twitter each on 2%.
However, ComScore’s senior mobile analyst, Alistair Hill, believes the huge opportunity this offers the social networks to raise revenue by allowing brands to interact with this massive mobile internet audience isn’t being used. “It’s surprising that Facebook doesn’t have a mobile sales offering,” he says. “You could argue it’s building the audience and refining what it does online first. But it means there’s a huge amount of traffic which isn’t being as well monetised as it might otherwise continue reading
While reviewing “MAVIS” with my co-editor, we heard from Reykjavik’s feathery-voiced Disa on track number four. The video is one of humble beginnings. Predicting a nice Dance music/House/Electro track or remixed version (I’ll remix it!) in her near future….PLEASE!!

Years ago I was a vivid photographer shooting film with my dads camera. The results were often horrible but sometimes I had some really good shots. Did those not so good looking pictures bother me? No! Why? Because every picture I took was in one way or another unique. Memories and expression of a very specific moment in my life. So with me bothering less I discovered a feel good feeling. My pictures became better from a pure technical point of view but my attitude hasn’t changed so far. Pictures can be holiday pictures, sport pictures, pictures from your friends birthday party or pictures you take in a supermarket, your home, your car.
Everywhere! So I started taking pictures with my camera. No I haven’t bought a digitial SLR yet but that’s not necessary. Simply because I do have a camera always with me.
My mobile phone camera! My old still working K850i is more than capable of taking high quality pictures of about anything in the whole wild world. Just take a picture of about anything and publish it. Share this with your friends on twitter, facebook, bebo, myspace and whatever pages are out there as well.
It’s not all about the location, it’s about the moment. Wouldn’t it be nice just to see what’s in front of your house, flat or even in your flat? Wouldn’t it be nice to share this to people out there? Just to be creative and take pictures because it’s fun and living on planet earth is a privilege that we take for granted? Just to go out and take pictures of whatever we like?
There are no wrong or right pictures and whatever we shoot shouldn’t we be happy about those memories / moments? You have probably seen a few pictures I took 3 minutes ago showing my book / DVD shelf and the view out of my living room window as well as the view on my garden. Come on people let’s share pictures. Send me links to your blogs and have fun!
So this week I set out to write two blogs, one on wednesday after church and a second on Friday. Well its early Saturday morning and I’m sitting down to write my first blog of this week. I will try to fit two blogs in this week since I promised myself I would write two a week and haven’t been doing it!
Now that I’ve concluded my rambling lets move on. I wanted to talk to you for just a minute about friendship.
Meg and I just spent the last few hours with two couples who we are pretty close with, and it got me to thinking again about the time we spend, and what we spend it on. We are a closed off and alone society: texting, instant messaging, all of the connectivity, yet no true community. Only in our generations could a person say he had 450 friends and have never met another human being (thanks to myspace and facebook)! The friends, true friends, I have, I wouldn’t give up for anything; but this brings up a good question ‘who are my true friends’ who are your true friends? Are they the people that you can laugh with around some scrumptious Mexican food? (yes, i did use that word!) Are they the people that say they would help you move, but in actuality, you’re always the one doing the moving? Are they the people that you share your deepest dreams and fears with?
How can I have a relationship, if I fail to relate? If we can spend 10 minutes listening (not talking) listening to another instead of 45 minutes checking our friend status, we would begin the long journey back to community!

Recently, some trouble has been stirred with my actions on Facebook. In an effort to save this person (and myself) the embarrassment, I will keep it anonymous.
Everyone has differing opinions and perspectives. I believe social networking sites like Facebook, or MySpace are merely news applications from friends, groups, and favorite businesses in order to stay in touch or see the daily updates in their lives.
There is another perspective that people have. Some see these sites as a personal extension of their lives. They have such a passion, they feel it is less than an application, and more of a personal attachment.
I’m not saying this is wrong, as that would be judgemental, and I’m trying not to be. But it is my opinion, that bad things can (and do) happen with this perspective. The reason for this thinking is that status updates, like other news items, may not always be entirely accurate. Exaggerations, vague updates, and even manipulating words can confuse and change peoples minds. Bad language and hurtful remarks can result.
For example, recently, someone on my friends list in Facebook was posting updates that I would rather not see or read. Just like a news site in my online reader, if you don’t like it, you simply remove it. Unfortunately, removing someone from your friends list has the unfortunate side-effect, to those that see FB as more than an applcation, to be representative of removing them from their personal lives.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. This problem was the cause of differences of opinions on what social networking sites really are……Web applications displaying news.
In hindsight, I could have just asked that person to stop. But, then, who am I to change that person? Maybe I’m the only one? I certainly don’t want to think my parenting skills are better than others (their not, believe me). And then, who am I to say that the parents are wrong? These are just opinions, and I respect people and their parents too much.
Social networking sites are most definately useful, but can be dangerous if you lose too much of yourself in these virtual realities. Preying abusers, stalkers, and criminals also browse the sites. Putting too much of yourself and your trust on these public applications can be risky.
Troubled social networking giant MySpace has lost another key executive with the recent departure of John Faith, until recently General Manager and Vice President of MySpace Mobile. His resignation hasn’t been announced yet (nor has his LinkedIn profile been updated), but we’ve confirmed hallway rumors that he jumped ship at the end of January 2010 both with the man in question and the company he used to work for.
Faith has moved to Austin, Texas – just in time for SXSW – where he has joined local startup WhaleShark Media as SVP of Engineering.
That company’s still in stealth mode, but was founded by former Bankrate COO Cotter Cunningham, so we’ll be keeping a close eye on that one.
It’s worth noting that another key member of the MySpace Mobile team, Ulf Waschbusch, also left the company in July 2009 – he recently landed at gaming startup Garena.
I asked MySpace who was running all things mobile now that both employees walked away from the company, and they informed me that stepping in for Faith is Nat Brown. In case you’re not familiar with that name, Brown was once one of Microsoft’s foremost technical minds – he created and evangelized the ActiveX/COM object model in the early nineties and went on to play a crucial role in the creation of XML, DHTML, and the first Xbox.
Brown went on to do a brief stint as CTO at CAC Media before serving the same role at online music startup iLike, which was acquired by MySpace in August 2009.
MySpace says Brown will henceforth be taking charge of the Mobile division, and that we can expect a lot from that particular unit in the “very, very near future”.
We’ll see.

Jazz up your MySpace profile and make it stand out! Your personality can shine through your profile, and your interests, mood, and hobbies can be the inspiration to customize your MySpace profile. Also referred to as MySpace wallpapers, the backgrounds are the basis of a custom MySpace profile design. There is no need to be stuck with the default background. There are tons of colorful and exciting MySpace backgrounds that can be easily applied to your very own profile.
Remember back in the day when MySpace was the shit? Remember when we lived in caves and ate big ass mammoth steaks?
MySpace brought social networking and blogging to the mainstream. People will argue that LiveJournal did this, but only homos and douchebags use LJ. MySpace made it possible for anyone and everyone to whore themselves on the internet without having to go through the trouble of uploading nude pics of yourself to everyone of your email contacts or making a website titled lookatmeimdesperateforattention.com.
The history of MySpace is pretty simple. This hipster douche named Tom Anderson (an assumed alias I’m sure) woke up one day in a Boone’s Farm-induced stupor, pulled his cock out of his boyfriend Chris DeWolfe’s ass, and exclaimed “OMG DOOD! I just totally thought of a way to get the whole internet laid!” and SHAZZAM! MySpace was born.
For awhile, MySpace dominated the Social Network scene, allowing any Joe Schmoe to create a page to fill with half-brained blurbs, worthless blogs, and all the odd-angled camera captures you could handle. MySpace had gajillions of users while the now vastly-superior Facebook was still only available to Harvard students and the cast of Revenge of the Nerds.
As time progressed, the quality of MySpace took a huge turn for the worse. An army of 13 year olds posing as adults started making a plethora of pages, turning the site into a pedophile’s dream. The website became all about stupid “application games” like Mobsters and Vampires, and all the personal pages became more glittery than Edward Cullen’s dick. Thankfully, it was around this time the yokels at Facebook stopped being elitists and started letting normal people make sites there, free from the wasteland of preteen cleavage and fat-old-men-posing-as-young-boys MySpace had become.
Before I continue, allow me to give you some insight on Facebook’s history. Facebook was started back in 2003 by this guy who, after being laughed at and ridiculed by emo hoodrats on MySpace, decided to start his own Social Networking site. Back then it was called Facemash, and it was similar to Hot or Not in that it would allow you to judge people’s looks anonymously while also providing good beat off material for the nerdlings at Harvard, for whom the site was initially designed. There’s alot more to it than that, but due to apathy, I’m gonna cut it short. Let’s just say eventually Mark Zuckerberg got off his llama and gave Facebook to the common man.
As of September of 2006, Facebook has been available to anyone, not just Ivy League cornholes. It gave social networkers a better place to try to get pussy, with a sleeker design, easier to use functionality, and less customization options (THANK GOD!). Every page looked the same, and finally, all social networkers were considered equal.
All was well. God was pleased.
Slowly, Facebook, just as it predecessor had, slowly began a decline into shit. The cause for this can be summed up in one word: Applications.
Applications are a double-edged sword. On one hand, they’re a fun way for people who are too unintelligent to play real games to pass the time (and let’s be honest, the only people who play these apps are people who can’t tie their own shoes, let alone operate a console controller). Not everyone has a set of keys to have dangled in front of their face, or a ball of yarn to roll around, so these apps fill that void in the little mongrel’s life.
On the other hand, due to the popularity of these apps via the stupidity of the typical social network site user and their lack of intelligent thought, my Facebook (and yours too, I’m sure) are getting constant streams of spam from such gems as Vampire Wars, Farmville, and CafeWorld. It’s enough to drive a man to homicide!
Which reminds me… Farmville? Seriously? You’re so desperate for something to do that you’re playing a game that simulates working on a farm? And you don’t even get paid for it? What’s next? Sweatshopville?
This is getting way too long. Like Jim Bob Duggar should have done, I’m going to wrap this up.
Zynga is the Al-Qaeda of the internet, and those of you playing these apps are terrorists. Thanks for ruining social networking for me.

This was sent to me in an email, but I wanted to share it with all of you. There were more pictures, but I didn’t get them all on here. Like I said, I was not there. I wish I would have been, so I could show support for our brave young Seals who are being flat out screwed by their leaders. I don’t know how else to put it.
Symptoms of Corrupting Sickness
It would be interesting to create a poll with these two photos and have people guess what’s happening.
I suspect that most would never assume anything close to the real story. It appears to be a joyous homecoming, a reuniting of mother and son. The truth is not so heart warming.
The lady in the picture is the mother of an American that was ambushed in Fallujah , Iraq. Her son was murdered. His body was dragged around in the streets of the city, then burned and hung from the upper trusses of a bridge. The murderers gathered to celebrate and have their photos taken with the trophy.
The young sailor in the picture is one of the Navy SEALs that later captured the leader of the band of terrorist butchers and brought him to justice.
If the story ended there, it would still be an acceptable feel-good, good-guys-win story. Unfortunately, that’s not the case – this Navy SEAL is facing criminal charges.
Because, somewhere along the timeline of his capture, the terrorist murderer suffered a school-yard fat lip, his captors are now being charged with nothing short of war crimes and facing discharge and imprisonment.
So, instead of celebration of justice served and heroes honored, these photos record betrayal, compounded mourning and the effects of a corrupting sickness.
This is another example of the corruption within the Obama/Holder “Injustice” Department. Be clear the current administration is no fan of the military. How difficult would it have been for Holder to issue an order to the Military to stop the trial. The SEAL’s were in effect offered a lower form on non judicial punishment, such as an Article 15. In their thinking they did nothing wrong. Why accept a plea bargain when you have done nothing wrong.
What is a fat lip on a terrorist compared with the mutilation and desiccation of the bodies of the Black Water Contractors hung from the bridge? Have we forgotten Daniel Pearl? No this administration is more concerned with how the world will view us, translate (the chosen one) that a charade like this is allowed to proceed. There is no place for political correctness or Washington conceived rules of engagement for our troops in combat.
Will we ever know the results of these rules, requiring the enemy to be showing a weapon or shooting first on the number of dead trying to protect our country. It is this exact administration that has labeled combat veterans potential terrorist. You bet they are, when they return from eating sand in far away deserts to find out what you and your ilk in congress have done to their country, they will rage. Of course you had a plan an Unconstitutional, one million person civilian trained corp, of Americans to eventually protect you? It ain’t going to happen, we The People will refuse to serve you. You are not our king, nor our master, you work for us, and we will be showing you the door in November 2012. We believe in our Constitution and the Republic for which it stands, you sir apparently don’t. Random thoughts while observing the passing parade, J.C.
From WAVY.com: SEALs assault case goes to court NORFOLK, Va. – “It’s been very stressful,” said Navy SEAL Mathew McCabe, 24, moments after his arraignment in military court at Naval Station Norfolk Monday on charges that he allegedly mistreated an Iraqi detainee.
The mother of slain Blackwater guard Jerry Zovko drove from Ohio to give each of the accused SEALs a blessed rosary and lend them her support. “These young SEALs are in this situation because they caught the mastermind behind the death of my son, and not only my son and his co-workers but also the marines who went into Fallujah after their death,” said Donna Zovko. “I am very proud of these young SEALs and thankful to them. They did not do anything wrong.”
May I ramble a bit? Think out loud, so to speak? I’m trying to make some sense of this. What title can I give to the mentality of a people that send their best to defend the whole and then betray them?
To what shall I attribute the attitude of a people that habitually prosecute their heroes while defending their enemies? What creates a culture that allows people to vilify and isolate their most noble and deify their most corrupt?
I perceive more symptoms of a sickness, a corruption of the nation’s heart and soul. I am tempted to label it ‘liberalism’ or ‘progressivism’, but those too are just symptoms of the infection. But this is nothing new, I recognized these symptoms four decades ago in the shameful treatment of our warriors returning from Vietnam, in the acceptance of Marines bombed in Beirut, in the ho-hum yawn of media coverage of Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down), in the return to mental numbness after 9/11, prosecution of the Marines of Hadith, assault of recruiters across the country, anti-war protesters at the gates of Walter Reed Army Hospital…….
This sickness, this infection has gone untreated for far too long. Americans are a tolerant bunch. We’ve patiently waited for the ingrates among us to grow up and develop a sense of pride and awe in the greatness of America. It’s not happening.
I’m tired of waiting. I’m fresh out of tolerance. There comes a time when the treatment for an infection cannot be postponed any longer, lest the patient die. Through history how many nations have habitually betrayed their defenders and survived?
Donna and I left our home at 4:00am, Monday morning and drove to Norfolk …. We were in the company of four other patriots from the Raleigh area: Don Gray of Military Appreciation Day and NC Gathering of Eagles.
Patrick Holbrook, NC Gathering of Eagles.

Complete Story
MySpace has launched an activity and content stream, which they are calling simply the “Stream.” Previously they showed a feed of status updates from friends, but the new feature shows a lot more content, including things like music your friends are listening to on MySpace Music, video they’re watching, links they are adding, etc.
The company hasn’t formally announced the product, which sort of makes sense since they’re still playing catch up with similar features on Facebook. But it’s an important beachhead in their go-forward strategy, we’ve learned. More on that in our next post.
