Facebook will call me!

As an answer to my previous post about 1 million facebook accounts I bought for 5$, I got this invitation

Hi Bogomil,

We’d like to set up a call with you to discuss a recent blog post of yours. Could you please provide a time and a phone number that works with your schedule?

Thanks,
Platform Policy Team
Facebook

 

The funny fact is: it came to my facebook registered e-mail, not via this blog web form as usual.

I really hope they will fix the problem and will try to put in control app developers and their services, instead of trying to convince me to remove the blogpost.

Wish me good luck!

I just bought more than 1 million …Facebook data entries. OMG! /updated/

I have the bloody habit to look for cheap deals on some websites and today I’ve got the featured offer to buy more than 1 million Facebook entries containing Full Name, e-mail and Facebook profile URL.

I make a quick check over the data and surprise, surprise: most of them are real and I even know some of those users.

The description of the offer says:

The information in this list has been collected through our Facebook apps and consists only of active Facebook users, mostly from the US, Canada, UK and Europe. There are users from other countries as well but they are almost exclusively English speaking as well, as all the apps we provide are written in English and to use them properly one needs to read the instructions. The list is checked and validated once a month so you won’t get a list full of invalid or duplicate email addresses. Whether you are offering a Facebook, Twitter, social media related or otherwise a general product or service, this list has a great potential for you. Finally, the list is in a zipped excel format split into 12 sheets, each sheet containing roughly 100,000 email addresses with name, last name and facebook profile information separated with comma.

 

Do you still feel secure?

Oh yes, the deal price was 5$ – five u.s dollars.

Oh, this is not the end of the story. I ve’got a phone call from them.

(Update): No, Facebook, I don’t want my 5$ back, but I want something from (for) you.

Changedu.org is mentioned as “Open Training Tool” from Smashing Magazine

I am really happy when someone mention a project I am involved with, especially in SmashingMagazine :) Click here to read the amazing article from Christian Heilmann:

In this article I’d like to discuss the changes happening on the Web and argue that its future is not as problematic and endangered as a lot of people make it out to be.

Oh, you can visit changedu.org now, if you want, but I recommend to read the entire article.

Change the education worldwide by remixing the web

We want to empower students to show their originality and knowledge, all while speaking to them in languages they understand: Multimedia and the Web.

Through discovery and implementing new ways of teaching, we could inspire the creativity of the next Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page or Sergey Brin to create something new, exciting and special.

The initiative is on: Go and check it: http://changedu.org

Change the EDUcation with just 1 click. Be famous!

This week we will be launching an initiative to change current educational teaching and learning methods.

 

The way we live is changing and evolving, our day to day routine, how we access information, and communicate with our family, friends and associates. Why should education remain the same?

 

We are looking for brave people who can help us to spread the word about it. We need just 1 share ( twiter, facebook or your local peers) in exchange we will link your twitter handle, facebook profile or you blog on our main page.

Interested in helping the EDUcation worldwide? Send a message to bogomil.shopov@glogster.com with your account/link and be ready to act soon.

Thanks and please share!
