All users with an email gets almost hundreds of friend requests every day from different social networking websites including, Facebook, Orkut, Myspace etc. it’s quite annoying to handle these because they cannot easily stop these mails directly.
Facebook by default sends you an email notification whenever there is any friend request or any other change in the face book applications which the user needs to disable to stay away from this spam.Facebook sends the user an email whenever someone adds them as a friend and they have to approve to add them back by logging into their account. Normally, all these email notifications are sent to them instantly whenever their friends find them on Facebook and when they add them on their network.Facebook shows all the requests in an account on the homepage where it can approve the requests and confirm them after which all the friends would be shown on the profile page which any other facebook member can find.
An email received is as follows:
Rahul has added you as a friend on Facebook. We need to confirm that you know Rahul in order for you to be friends on Facebook.
To confirm this friend request, follow the link below:
Confirm the request

The disabling of these friend requests can be done by clicking on the link which comes at the end of an email which is linked to the ‘Email Notifications’. It is notified by email whenever actions are taken on Face book involving the user.
Every Application will have its own set of email notifications. You can clik on the name that is avaialable on the right side of that appliaction to change its settings. Face book tells that even if the user turns off all notifications, they may sometimes need to email important notices about their account.
The cancellation of a “Friend Request on Face book” is discussed. If the user sends a friend request on Face book which is not yet addressed, then there is no way it can be cancelled. It automatically terminates that request after 3 months. Till then the request will be present in an account, unless the user decides to reject or accept it.This was the case with my account some time back. May be Face book should change this rule. Some times by mistake, we send the friend request to a wrong person. This feature will be very handy while committing such blunders.

Many of my reader friends are repeatedly asking me how to change from some country specific domains of orkut like orkut.co.in, orkut.com.br  to ORKUT.COM. Before learning how to change this. Lets have a look at the advantages and disadvantages of changing from one to other.

Advantages:

1. orkut.com loads faster than orkut.co.in or orkut.com.br.

2. If some of your friends give you Orkut.com links, then your browser will frustrate in changing them to ur .co.in or .com.br.

3. Grease Monkey scripts will work for ur orkut.com pages. (since majority are written for .com)

Disadvantages:

1. In ur orkut search results, you wont get ur country specific results as .com is universal.

2. If any one send you some .co.in or .com.br link, the same browser will get frustrated.

Its very easy to migrate from .com.br or .co.in to .com . How???

How to change ??

• Go to the bottom of your page. (See the above screenshot.)
• Here Click on “Go to Orkut.com”
• You Are Done!!

I have been observing some important changes in the orkut lately. I could still remember the orkut in 2005 when it is fairly new to everyone. All we get was just a profile page with some no restrictions communities, but now orkut has many Api interfaces and mashups taking place.

To say in a marketing point of view, orkut has evolved from its web1.0 structure to web2.0 structure. It has got ajax forms, applications, events, restrictions on scrapbooks, albums as required by the individual and many more.

Now, orkut has also thought of taking care about the offensive content in profiles, communities etc. As a result the following feature is added recently about the Offensive content.

The above image is an example of a warning about an offensive profile.

So friends, lets rock orkutting and keep checking this site for new updates.

Thank you,

Yours Hsenag

The battle between Facebook users and the crooks and hackers just keeps rolling along. The criminals love these social networking sites because they can hijack the identity of a person known or trusted by you to attempt a fraud. The goal, as always, is to relieve you of your money or identity, or both.

The latest fraud involves the so-called Nigerian 419 scam, but with a twist. Instead of getting an email from someone in Nigeria offering you money, you receive an email from someone you know. The message says the person is stranded in Lagos, Nigeria, so please send money so he can return home.

You may be tempted to send the cash, but be careful. This is probably a fraud. Your friend’s email account may have been hijacked, and the message is being sent to all his contacts. It is very easy to fake a return address in an email.

Read the message carefully. Are there any grammar or spelling mistakes? Improper usage of slang or popular terms? Would your friend really send such a message to you? Think twice, or more, before responding.

Most social networking sites are vulnerable to this kind of attack. As I have said many times, minimize the amount of personal information you reveal in your profile. Check what your kids are revealing in their own profiles.

Have you tried the new MySpace instant messaging application? As the most popular social networking site in the history of the Internet, MySpace has changed a lot about how people meet new friends and chat with each other online. Now, with their new IM application, there is even more reason to be happy to be a MySpace user. No more chatting with people on your Friends list via MySpace mail. Finally, you can talk to them in real time!

The features on MySpace Instant Messaging are just super. The application takes nothing away from your free MySpace layout. It doesn’t take up too much screen real estate, or clutter the screen. Instead, it is a neat little app that will surprise you with its talent! Not only are you able to send and receive instant messages, you can also view someone’s profile, send photos to your friends as easily as dragging and dropping, stream any music that catches your attention from a profile you’ve been browsing right to your IM application, view your MySpace E-mails and Bulletins, Friend Requests, get an alert when you have new Comments and new Messages, and more. And, perhaps best of all, this amazing application that can do so much is absolutely free!

All you have to do to get your hands on this new IM is download it. As of this writing, it does not “play well” with Windows Vista, but works like a charm with Windows XP, 2000, and 98. You must also be using a PC, as there is no Mac version just yet. You can download from within the MySpace web site. Once it is downloaded, just follow the directions that come with the file to open and get MySpace IM up and running.

First, you will need to sign in to the application. You’ll use the same email account and password that you use to sign in to your MySpace account. You’ll have three options to choose from here. MySpace IM can save your password, automatically log in for you, or allow you to sign in as Hidden, so that just in case you want to quickly check something and then sign out, your friends won’t think you are ignoring them!

Next, you will need to decide which of your friends you want to add to MySpace IM. There are options to add your Top Friends only, add all of your Friends up to 200 only, or search for Friends to add. You should really only add the people who you want to talk to on a regular basis. If by chance some of these people do not have MySpace IM installed on their machine, you will be given the option to send them an invitation. Now that you have your Friends listed on the application, what’s next?

This is where the fun starts! Everyone that you have added to MySpace Instant Messaging can be contacted by means of the application. You can tell when they are online (unless they chose the Hidden option) share photos with them, and hear music that they may have included with their MySpace layout. You can also see their profile picture!

MySpace IM is skinnable, which means you can change how it looks. You can also look forward to more options for this application in the near future.

Yesterday i felt bored a bit and i was going through orkut, then some thing caught my eye. thats nothing but the game chess in orkut. i played it and got confused initially. but later i got addicted to it .

That was really a cool game. and interestingly the wins and losses in that are counted and added to ur score. I thought of remvoing the application from my orkut profile to get rid of losses that i made in confusion. But no use. so be careful. what ever u play will effect your score.

How to add chess to your profile??

Like many other Applications out there on orkut, adding the game chess is very easy. All you have to do is, just cick on the add apps in the left side of orkut profile and it.

What if some of your friend deleted you from orkut and changed the title of his/her orkut account?? What if you couldn’t find his/her account after researching a lot?? What if you want to track someone who is not in your list?? . there is a simple trick with out having them actually in your list.

Trick:

Add then in you hot list so that they will be visible to u always in your hot list. even if they delete you in future you can have a track of their id.  even if he/she is not in your list, you can track them with ease though they “change their profile title rediculously”

Hope this helps atleast some of you,

Thank you,

HSenag
