Looks like someone forgot to flip the stencil before painting. This is why you should always double check before painting. =p

Hey there folks!
As you can see, I’ve changed up my website. I woke up one morning last week and said to myself that I was going to spiffy it up a bit and…here it is. *tada* I’ve been meaning to revamp it for a long time now, but hadn’t because of reason #1, reason #2 and reason #3. I finally got my act together when I lost power for 2 weeks from the whole Hurricane Ike catastrophe. You must be thinking, “what does losing power have anything to do with making your website?” The answer – a lot. During those 2 weeks I didn’t have power, my world was flipped upside-down from not having the ability to Google what was going on in the world and not knowing what to do with all my down time. I probably don’t need to say it, but I will; much of my lifestyle runs parallel to the existence of the internet. If the internet ceases, so do I. Ok, I’m being dramatic, but you get the idea. A lot of personal and professional productivity was lost and that explains why I’m going down my list of to-do’s, starting with my website. =)

Facebook’s Texts Have Gotten Out of Hand
I’m surprised that the issue of cell phone users with recycled phone numbers being inundated with text messages sent from the Facebook website has only just recently surfaced. I can vividly remember when Facebook launched its new profile text message updating feature because I had a couple of friends who were all over it. Every so often (more like every half an hour), someone’s phone would beep or ring, notifying them of the new wall post by Jane or that Bob just had poked him. It seemed like a good idea at first to have Facebook readily available no matter where you were (and I guess it still is if you’re into that), but only if you’re keeping up with your account. Knowing the nature of young internet users, I had a feeling that this text messaging service would get out of hand. Why? Well, there are many reasons:
- Facebook users LOVE to write on each other’s wall and update their profiles (almost obsessively)
- There are approximately 60 million Facebook users
- It’s always fun to try out a new feature
When you have millions of teenager wall-posting fiends constantly making edits to their own profiles, as well as their friends’, at all hours of the day (I’m guessing peak hours would be anywhere from 4 PM – 2 AM), imagine how many text messages are being sent out in a day? week? a month? That’s a lot of texts. I don’t know what percentage of Facebook users actually have their online account and phone synced, regardless, a lot of texts are flying out. 1% of the 60 million users is even a pretty big number.
It’s good to know that Facebook will be regulating and monitoring their phone number database a little more closely now. It would really be annoying to receive random Facebook updates about people you don’t know and then NOT have the ability to make them stop. Not sure if this is possible, but it would be neat if the Facebook website could detect a phone number being recycled and when it does, have the messaging feature automatically disable. There are other methods I’m sure, but those are my two cents.
