My Facebook Account is re-enabled

Man that was a ride back home. I really didn’t knew untill the last moment, when my account was back up. I created another profile and then ended up with my account being restored. It was hell of a communication from Facebook personnel, but then I didn’t like their tone.

They said something like, based on my communication, they are re-enabling my account. My question is, is there any checks and balances on false alarms.?

Facebook, do you perform any such checks. I am sure you do. They are just not good enough.

My Facebook Account is disabled.

I really can’t feel like enough to blog about, but it’s sad to say that my facebook account is disabled. Now this is a big eff (font size 24, weight bold, underline, and italics) thing to do on part of facebook. Facebook, you are simply out of my list of favorite web-sites.

One fine day, I decided to change the representation of name to “Salman Khwaja سلما ن”. That was all. The next thing, I knew was they didn’t allow to log me in. They said they have found me violating some of their terms and conditions. The details, are off course, kept confidential.

I mean, all I was trying to do is change the representation of my name, and one fine day you (EFF FB) disable my account. I wasn’t doing any spam related activities, any illegal activities, then on what grounds did you disabled my account? I have lost much of a content that I have on Facebook. I have lost all my contents, pictures uploaded, and all the links. I don’t care much about those applications, but I really do not have any other means of getting those back.

I tried emailing them also, but all I received is their automated reply that they have received my application. After a while, I emailed the reminder, the email BOUNCED back at me, saying that the email does not exist. Facebook, a multi million dollar company, is not having that email address with which I was corresponding. There is a limit to professionalism. Anyway, it appears to me that I have no other option to come back to the network with zero activity.

Let me ponder on the benefits and side effects of losing my account and opening a new one.

Benefits

• Clean Profile :: A new re-vamped account will be made, with all new contacts. Quite tedious process and timestakingly work, but it will be clean profile. How clean I can keep it up, is up to me…. gosh, I wonder this time, I should think ten times before adding an app.

Side Effects

• Lost of valuable information like my photos. Photos uploaded by my friends can be retrieved, if they have uploaded and if and only if (sickening) facebook gives me access to re-tag myself.
• A big time taken activity of adding all my friends, ranging from metric – > inter – > Graduation > work. Man that is long journey.

Waise, by the way, why am I going through such activity. Don’t you have any else to do? Well, one big reason is that man is a social animal and I need to be in touch with my network. Facebook, you have changed the way we communicate. You have changed the communication from boring emails awesome chats, application and all that. Still deep down, you have left a scar on one of your user.

Sorry facebook, your terms and conditions are pathetic.

My new addiction

Online Flash Games, epecially, when they are linked to my favourite browser (opera). I was just surfing around, and came across this awesome opera widget( http://widgets.opera.com/widget/11271/) and then I went further to it’s parent website (http://www.sarkscape.com/games/). I am hooked to this game for like more than a week, and still can’t get enough of it. My highest score is travelling 70 Meters. What’s yours.?

Me and My Twittering

I have got a new craze these days. Twittering, and man, I was looking for some way to stay in touch with those short bursts of Twittering information coming from different sources. Finally, I got what I needed. Thanks for Guy Kawasaki for his post. Now I can stay in touch using the RSS Feeds.

To cut the long story short, use the twitter default Search facility by your UserName, usually @[UserName]. Once the results are displayed, add the URL to your RSS feeds. It will ask you the option to choose your Timeline, or your freinds timeline. Choose accordingly and walla. You will be kept updated with own time line using RSS feeds.

Once the information is in RSS feed reader, you can slice dice them, perform search in them and archive them.

Signing out for now.
