Threads are thriving, and Twitter/X is dying. This gave me a flashback, remembering what had happened to MySpace. MySpace was founded on August 1, 2003, by Thomas Anderson, who you know as MySpace Tom. MySpace was a giant and number one social media until Justin Timberlake and Specific Media LLC jointly acquired MySpace for about 35 million dollars. From there, it went downhill FAST; Facebook was founded on February 4, 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg as Thefacebook, then a year later, in 2005, it was changed to simply Facebook, then stole the crown from MySpace as the largest social media a few years later. Now, Facebook as a social media is so large that no social media probably can ever take it from Facebook for a very long time – that’s if they ever do! Now, with Threads and Twitter/X, that is giving me a deja vu! Back then, the largest photo-sharing service was Flickr, and then Instagram swooped in, taking the crown from Flickr as the largest photo-sharing service. Instagram is owned by who? Meta, under which Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook due to having many companies, so he founded Meta as a parent company for Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and others. Twitter, one of the large micro-blogging (part of social media) companies, was acquired by Elon Musk for 44 billion (yes,…

I see a lot of the people starts off with a trend of Why I _____ and I figured that I will do one for blog. People have already started a few trends of “Why I” such as “WhyIVlog”, “WhyISign” and others. To my knowledge, I may be wrong and if I am wrong then please correct me by leaving a comment below here so I can make a correction note on here. That the “Why I” was originally started by the Deaf community with #WhyISign where anyone who knows American Sign Language and breath in American Sign Language to make a short videos to share why they sign. You can find #WhyISign on Twitter and Facebook if you are interested in see some responses from the people who shares their reason to why they use American Sign Language. So I am going to do one for the blog and this is #WhyIBlog! Hope that all of you enjoy reading some of my reasons to why I blog and I encourage that all of you bloggers to do the same by making a post on your blog with the title “Why I Blog” then use the hashtag on social media #WhyIBlog so that all of bloggers can read some responses from the blogosphere via social media like Twitter or Facebook.…
This would have been 11-19-2016 tidbits as I was planning on to write the tidbits earlier, but the midnight have passed so that means it is no longer the 19th and it is now 20th of November. That means I am writing this article at very late of the night which is a bit unusual as I usually start writing a blog at around nine o’clock but lately I have lost the track of time, I usually make sure that I follow my daily routine such as taking a bath at midnight (twelve o’clock), be in bed after taking a bath about at 12:30-12:45AM then wake up at four o’clock in the morning and yes that means I only sleep for about three hours every night. After waking up at four o’clock I would tune in on the television, especially Netflix or Hulu to watch a few episodes of few television shows from about 4:30AM after waking up until about 7 o’clock AM I would get on the computer to surf around for a bit for about a couple of hours and then start working on the internet at about 9 o’clock to ten o’clock in the morning because I do freelance in several things such as web development, internet marketing, search engines optimization and among others for a few…
How are all of you doing? I hope that all of you are doing well, I am doing well over here but I have been very busy lately with my other work and trying to figure what is the next step that I should take in my career. But beside that I am doing well though, I see that we are starting to feel the weather changing from hot weather to a cool weather and in matter of a month we will be heading into the cold weather. I am sure that some of you are not looking forward for the cold weather, also there are some of you are looking forward to some cold weather and that includes me. While I am more of a fall or spring kind of person, I am not talking about seasonal, just the type of the weather (temperature) and what it brings. We know that in the spring we would usually get a lot of raining and in the fall we would usually get less rains which that is one thing why I like fall because I am never a fan of rain. I am also not a fan of hot weather nor rain, I cannot stand them as I like the cool temperature which fall is what known for and the spring…
Twitter is one of my most favorite social media, probably just a little more than Facebook for some reasons and that I look at Twitter more of an intelligent system than Facebook is. Surely Facebook most of the things that people needs, private messaging, wall posting, commenting, pictures uploading, videos uploading, live videos, notes, applications (apps) such as games, groups, pages and many more while Twitter is very simple when it comes to features. Maybe I am just a simple person, I don’t know as I don’t like things too complexes and clusters; MySpace is the perfect example. Some of you may not know what MySpace is, some of you may know and remember what MySpace were. MySpace is a wholly different now than it was before, as a few years ago MySpace was the king of social media and MySpace is practically the forefather of the social media whether you accept it or deny it. However, Tom Anderson who was CEO of MySpace at that time decided to sell MySpace for several millions of dollars and sold it to by news corp company. That is when MySpace started rumblings to pieces, Facebook immediately dethroned MySpace within’ a few months after MySpace was sold and Facebook has become what we all knows today — The biggest social media of all.…
Have you seen the new Facebook page yet? If not then you should go and check out some of the pages on Facebook because they have been completely redesigned. I think that the new redesign of pages on Facebook is better and less of clutters than the ones they had before because the ones they had before were somewhat too plain while being cluttered at the same time. I am digging the new Facebook page since I have a few, especially one for JoshiesWorld which you are more than welcome to check out and like the page! So at the same time that will give you an idea of what the new FaceBook page looks like. You can click here to visit the JoshiesWorld’s Facebook page.

I thought so too and I hope that the new Facebook page will be easier for fans, viewers, readers, bloggers, vloggers,…
Past a few months there have been a discussion that were going on around at Facebook headquarter about what to do with the famous Facebook like system that we all know and used that feature on regular basis all around the giant social networking website Facebook. For past few months there were several people who have sent in suggestion to Facebook asking the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to add dislike button to that system and then filed complaints to Facebook about Mark Zuckerberg for not listening to Facebook users when it comes to Facebook users sending in suggestions for the like system in particular but later on its Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg decided to make an announcement a several months ago stating that he Mark Zuckerberg does not want to add the dislike button to that system because he said that he felt that the dislike button feels like negative as he says that he wants for Facebook to still be positive. A few months later since that announcement Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg made about adding the dislike button is negative but he still want Facebook users to know that he does listen so he made an announcement in the past weeks that they were working on new features that may replace the Facebook famous like buttons to something else…
Not too long ago the leading social networking company, Facebook decided to come up with a new of something for its users where they can pass their legacy from Facebook account to one of their family members or to someone who they would trust to manage their Facebook account after they passed away. When you pass away, that person who you added as your legacy for your Facebook account will let Facebook know that its user have passed away and you will then take over his or hers Facebook account which it will act as memorial profile for that user. The name of the person you see on the top of his or her profile will be changed to memory of _________. The access to his or her Facebook account will be limited such as you will not be able to read his or her message or anything else but accept its new friends, wall posts and the basic stuff. By taking it over will ensure that the Facebook account of the person who passed away to not become inactive overtime, to be hacked, spammed and such so to make sure that nothing happens to his or her Facebook account. I have taken screenshots with instructions on how to add someone as legacy for your Facebook account that you trust…
