Friday Break: The Facebook Skit

I received a funny video from an old schoolfriend that takes the mick out of Facebook ‘stalking’.

It is amazing how much I’ve learnt about people I hardly know, who have suddenly become my ‘friends’. I think the video really hits home that you should be careful about how much information you put on social networking sites like Facebook, as you never know who might be looking.

It’s also a good reason why you should load up a hot looking profile pic!

Create Picture Perfect Avatars Everytime

I think my Avatar sucks. I spent hours, well not quite hours, trying to find one that I liked and in the end I went for my current animated version as I thought it would catch people’s eye and get them to look at my profile.

I wish I’d known about mypictr. This great free online service will allow you to make perfect avatars from any picture. All you have to do is upload your avatars and mypictr will resize the images for you. This can be handy as just about every site has different size requirements e.g. Digg requires a 48×48 pixel image, MySpace avatars are 100×100, Technorati prefers 64×64 square pictures while Orkut resizes your profile image to 120×90 pixels automatically. It even has pre-configured profiles stored so that you can be confident you will always look your best in your profile.

Now all i need to do is find a good picture of myself!
