Hey there. I go by the name Haha Syimah. I'm currently a student. i live in my beloved Singapore(!) and i'm well, if you don't know, a female. I love taking pictures of food and objects (random, yes, i know) and am an avid reader.

Here are some i got for you:

1. People get to know that sometimes the world is small. Your friends could be mine! They can then invite all their friends to a gathering. Then, they can spend time together and forge tighter or new bonds.
2. People can reconnect with their old friends.
3. People can get to know about other companies other than the ones around them.
4. While playing games, people can find out who else plays it. they can also discuss about it and get to know them.

Basically, its all about people.

This is a case study done about how a company made their business much more recognized.

1. The Starbucks Facebook fan page. The page incorporates great videos, varied content, and has active engagement with the fans. But what makes it truly exceptional, is its use of status updates.
   Status updates are important in any fan page as keeping the page fresh with new content and information gives fans a reason to return. Many companies struggle to understand how best to use updates or either don’t use them at all. Starbucks, on the other hand, has established a good frequency of updates, sharing something new every couple of days.
   More importantly, the content is varied, fun, and interesting. They share videos, blog posts about all aspects of coffee including how to grow coffee beans, articles about Starbucks and Starbucks employees. As a result, every update would recieve thousands of comments.  (mashables.com)

So, I got some cyber wellness tips for you. I've got 4, to be exact. Here we go;

1. When updating you facebook profile page for example, refrain from giving out too much personal information. Do not put down you handphone number, home address and other things that an lead people to knowing where exactly you could be at a certain time.
2. Do not download anything that is not yours without the owner's permission. If there is the copyright sign, it means that if you get caught downloading it, you might have to pay a fee or go to jail. Maybe both! Don't do it if you know its wrong.
3. Do not meet up with people you come across with in chatrooms. Even if you want to, meet in a  public place or bring an older brother or guy relative with you.
4. When unsure if what you are about to do is right or wrong, ask a teacher, your parents or call a cyber wellness team hotline.

I hope you liked it. :D

1. Some who we make friends with might have bad intention. If you make it known that you are a child of wealthy parents, they could try to turn your 'friendship' into something that will make you go at any expense to probably meet that person. When you do, he would then kidnap you. Next, he would ask your parents to pay a large amount of money to get you back. This can make your family turn from rich to poor.

2. Sometimes, we make enemies unknowingly. When we post our  
   pictures online, anyone is free to copy it. they can draw offensive things on it or cut&paste your face onto something, like a donkey. This can be known as Cyberbullying.
3. The thing about facebook applications like Petsociety, Wheel of Fortune, Millionare City, etc, they 'need' you to return to Facebook every single day. when you do, you become addicted. Then, you can start to forget doing your homework, thus earning you a scolding from your teacher. Next, you could become anti-social because you don't hang out with your friends. You'll change into this zombie in real life, only active online. You will also probably get banned from using the computer at home for your odd behaviour, causing conflict between you and your parents. Life will be HORRIBLE.
4. One other horrifying thing that could happen when we post too much of our personal information, is that people can start to stalk you. Your every move being watched, don't you find it freaky? Especially when that person becomes obsess with you. O.o

I have to say, my ideas are kind of gory. Well, that's all for now! See you again. :D

What makes us all drawn towards Facebook? Is it because of the fun games/applications we can play? or is it because we can connect with friends on it? Either way, i'm here to tell you some interesting facts about it.


1. The founder of facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, has turned out to be the world's youngest billionare! He even made his own movie, about before facebook came into his life, and how it has changed after. Its called, "Social Network". Have you watched it?


Picture of Mark Zuckerberg, found on http://www.people.com/.


2. There are over 250 million registered users on Facebook of which 125 million login for atleast once almost daily. And on an average each of these 125 million users spend atleast 4 minutes on Facebook everyday (per user). This makes Facebook one of the busiest websites in the world. (Fact found on digitizor.com)
3. Some companies make their sites personalised and social with Facebook. Some examples are,  US Levi's, glamour.com, abc.go.com and espsn.com. If you go to the websites of these companies, you can find links to Facebook.
4.  The Average Facebook User Has 130 Friends. This was told on Mashable.com, by a member there. so, if you have more than 130 friends on facebook, you're more than average. Hm.
