Facebook ‘dislike’ scam warning

Survey scams are well known online, they offer money or free items for just filling out a survey. It's a classic too good to be true scheme, but it still manages to scam people. The latest warning comes from Facebook, where users think they're adding an application for a dislike button (which has been a demand for users on the website). What happens is the app uses your account to spam messages with links, which tries to fool your friends into thinking you posted them. “Many people are giving permission for completely unknown apps,” Mr Cluley told BBC News. As far as we can tell, they appear to be legitimate,” he said. “It could be that the firms are not policing their affiliates properly.” The scam finally points users towards a Firefox add-on that installs a “dislike” button.”-BBC added by: Mcellie

Selena Gomez Releases New Album Track Listing

Katy Perry is featured on song from A Year Without Rain, due September 21. By Jocelyn Vena Selena Gomez Photo: Jean Baptiste Lacroix/WireImage Selena Gomez is amping her fans up for the release of her next album. On Monday she took to Facebook to share with fans the complete official track listing for her upcoming album A Year Without Rain, due September 21. “Hey Everyone– I wanted to share with you the official tracks off my upcoming album ‘A Year Without Rain’ as well as the bonus features on the deluxe album. I can’t wait for you all to hear the album,” Gomez wrote. The 10 songs on the new album are: current single “Round & Round,” title track “A Year Without Rain,” “Rock God,” “Off the Chain,” “Summer’s Not Hot,” “Intuition,” “Spotlight,” “Ghost of You,” “Sick of You” and “Live Like There’s No Tomorrow.” The deluxe version of the album will include two remixes of “A Year Without Rain,” as well as a remix of “Round & Round.” While Gomez didn’t let on about any previously reported collaborations in her Facebook message, earlier this month some websites reported that “Off the Chain” features Miley Cyrus and “Rock God” features Katy Perry . There were also murmurings of a Demi Lovato duet, “The Begging of the Road,” but that song didn’t make it to the official list. Fans may have to wait to see if Cyrus’ vocals ended up on “Off the Chain,” however, Gomez has said that Perry contributed to her album. “Katy Perry gave me a song, and she did background vocals on it,” she said. “The whole experience was really fun.” As for some of the announced songs, Gomez recently spoke to MTV News about the album and gave some insight into what people can expect. “[‘A Year Without Rain’ is] basically one of my favorite songs on the record. It’s kind of got a more feel-good dance beat and feel. I love it. It’s different; [it] kind of shows my growth of my music,” she said. “There’s a song called ‘Intuition’ that’s one of my favorites. The message is basically every decision that you regret or second-guess, [just] do it [anyway]. I love that message so much.” Are you looking forward to Selena Gomez’s new album?

Are "Blood Diamonds" overhyped? What other more conflict zone commodities should be more visible?

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has been the subject of media attention as she reluctantly testified at the war crimes tribunal for Charles Taylor, and offered claims that she had no idea what a blood diamond was. Although they may capture the attention of the media, blood diamonds are not the only conflict commodities—tin ore, used extensively in consumer electronics, is also mined in war-torn regions.Do blood diamonds capture too much of the media attention? What other conflict zone commodities should we be paying closer attention to? added by: sgwhites

13-Year-Old Fights for Grandfather’s Life on Facebook

About two months ago, 13-year-old Logan Ludwig was told that his grandfather, a well-regarded police officer of 19 years, had stage-four lung cancer. A sad story, yes, but it gets worse. Officer Paul Ludwig worked for the Washington, D.C., Metro Transit Police Department (MTPD). Due to a loophole in the disability pensions policy, the Metro knocked Ludwig's pension from $2,800 a month to $770, a huge difference that forced Officer Ludwig to sell his home, declare bankruptcy and move in with his son. Devastated by the injustice toward his grandfather, the 13-year-old took it upon himself to create a Facebook group for his family, fellow police officers and other cancer survivors. His goal: to share the family's tale and garner support. Continue reading to learn how this teen used Facebook for something more important than Farmville. Much to the family's surprise, the story hit home with others who came across it, and the group grew to over 25,000 fans (gaining an average of 3,000 per day). As the press got involved, people became outraged at Metro's behavior, dubbing it a “BP moment” for the D.C. transit authority. “Supporters, a lot of them police officers and other servicemen and women, began pouring out their well wishes for Dad,” said Mark Ludwig, Logan's uncle and Officer Ludwig's youngest son, in an exclusive interview with Asylum. “Our Facebook friends took matters into their own hands and used any means necessary to contact WMATA and get Dad's story out there in the world.” The WMATA and MTPD fought back by deleting user comments on their Facebook page and, eventually, excusing themselves from the social media scene entirely. Despite the increased pressure on them, WMATA still refuses to address the issue, aside from acknowledging the situation's unfairness. Sadly, Officer Ludwig passed away last Tuesday evening. “Our Dad was always the one fighting for what is right and protecting us and others his whole life. Now for us to have had to fight for him was — and is — difficult, but necessary,” says Mark. “The family has and will continue to share this story until my father's situation is corrected.” You can show your support by visiting Officer Ludwig's Facebook page or the family's blog. You can also contact WMATA and give them a piece of your mind. added by: TimALoftis

Jeff Miranda is Dating Snooki

Snooki from Jersey Shore has a new boyfriend: Jeff Miranda of Millstone, N.J. It was love at first boardwalk: The reality star was spotted smooching her new man this weekend by the shore in her home away from home, Seaside Heights. The Iraq War veteran confirms the relationship, and is already standing up for his girl online, too: “People no more Snookie (sic) talk,” Jeff wrote on Facebook. “Her name is Nicole Polizzi by the way. All I’m saying is we have a great time together. She is an amazing girl and couldn’t ask for any more. I am not making further comments about Nicole and myself. When the time is right you will be updated.” Jeff Miranda is “getting to know” Snooki . The couple spent the entire weekend together getting to “know each other” according to one of Jeff’s pals, and while he wants to keep their relationship on the DL, his friends thinks differently and says he could have other motives. “I’ve known Jeff for a long time. The guy is a player,” a source says. “This whole Guido thing is something totally new. He’s become a gym rat and hooked-up with Snooki to get popularity and fame. Let’s face it, the guy wants to be a star.” Jeff Miranda resents the accusation, telling People “If they offered me to be on the show over [dating] Nicole, I’d say no. I said, ‘F— the cameras, let’s run away.’ I want people to stop hating. It’s not about fame, it’s about me being happy.” In any case, on Facebook, Jeff describes himself to be “crazyyy as motha f*****!!!” and posits that “you only live once so gotta make the best of it.” Profound stuff. Snooki recently broke up with Emilio Masella after suspecting he was cheating on her and using her to be famous, both of which he’s denied repeatedly. Emilio, who learned she may have smooshed Vinny Guadagnino while they were dating from last week’s classic episode of Jersey Shore , is not pleased.

Please ponder this plea from Pleas: A continuing story of corruption in Kentucky – Lexington courts | examiner_preview

I make my return to writing here with some rather intriguing news of criminal harassment by the Lexington Police on several levels. My 'vacation' was not by choice but rather by cyber-attack. After my campaign bringing up implications of murder committed by Lexington Police officers and the coincidental death of an officer on the job during that time I was sent a virus. The virus and a key-logger attack were done to my computer by way of a Facebook invite by a member of the slain officer's family and the key-logger attack came straight from the Lexington Police Department forensics department. More recently, my articles here bringing attention to racism and corruption in the local court system invited more cyber-attacks. I will continue to fight against corruption in government and to bring you all of the information; the truth no matter where that leads. Recently, I received a letter I had requested from Pleas Lucian Kavanaugh describing the police corruption and harassment he has gone through in Lexington. His story is identical to mine and others. The stories just take place with different people in different places but the patterns are the same. Lexington has a fraternity type of police force that has gotten away with too much for too long and now believes it can do as it pleases to anyone it chooses. Please listen to this plea from Pleas Lucian Kavanaugh and do what you can to help him. Feel free to contact me with any information you might have to help his case, my past cases or the murder of Deborah Wardlaw. Confidentiality, as always, is assured. Pleas Lucian Kavanaugh: While it might be beyond my ability to convey a respectable version of my dilemma in this small allotment, I wish to emphasize from the onset that the affects of what has happened to me cannot be understated and that if this account is somewhat beyond the standard length, it is so for the depth of the actions taken against me by a power well beyond my capacity to contend with. As such, I would implore that my circumstance be given attentive and thorough consideration as I am, quite literally, under the most oppressive and sweltering attack at the hands of the Lexington Police Department; an attack which I fear will not end until either I have been unjustly incarcerated, murdered or until such time as responsible parties are held accountable for a most egregious affront to liberty, justice and all things idealized by civilized humanity. Let the facts be submitted to an impartial eye. Please continue reading at the link: Christopher Hignite Lexington Courts Examiner Monkey Films on Current TV added by: Monkey_Films

Snooki and Emilio: Their ‘Jersey Shore’ Love Story

MTV News takes a look at the romance between ‘Jersey Shore’ star Snooki and her one-time beau Emilio. By Jocelyn Vena Snooki Photo: Jerritt Clark/ Getty Images The flame that burned between Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Emilio Masella may have only burned for a short time, but its flame was bright — and it was visible on this season of “Jersey Shore” Early on in season two, Snooki declared that she was through with her search for true love. But it seems that while you can take Snooki out of the Jersey Shore, you can’t take the Jersey Shore out of Snooki. When the season opened, Snooki declared herself “done Snookin’ for love”; at the time, she had been in a relationship with Emilio for two and a half months. In January, she spoke to MTV News about Emilio and the chemistry the two of them shared. I like that he’s a dork, a guy that can laugh and joke around, and he also is a guido,” she said. “So, it’s like the perfect guy — so we just click, and we’re so hot together. “How did I meet him? Facebook,” she continued. “That’s sad, huh? I met him before the show. We talked on Facebook a couple weeks before the show. It wasn’t anything too serious. I know he’s not talking to me because I’m on the show, ’cause he knew me before, kind of. My dad’s a little worried about it.” Even then, though, Snooki expressed her concern over her relationship with Emilio, especially given all the temptations of life in the spotlight. “I am worried because, you know, I like the kid a lot. But … if there’s, like, an opportunity [during the filming of ‘Jersey Shore’ season two], that’s going to be fun.” Snooki wasn’t lying. When she and castmate Vinny shared a bed this season, it caused a rift between her and Emilio. But despite that breach of trust, Emilio isn’t giving up. “I’m heartbroken. I came here to see Snooki and I don’t know if she wants to see me,” Emilio told MTV News while visiting Seaside Heights, New Jersey, recently. “Hopefully it’ll all turn out good and I can get my girl back. If not, I’m gonna have to move on &8212; I mean I seen her holding some other guy’s hand the other day, [and] it kind of pissed me off. “But I’m trying to stay good, not fight. I’m a sweet boy. I’m a lover, not a fighter.” Related Videos Jersey Shore (Season 2) | Ep. 3 | Deleted Scene Related Photos Jersey Shore (Season 2) | Ep. 3 | Flipbook Jersey Shore (Season 2) | Snooki
