"Just because you can, it doesn't mean you should"

Raygun are an exciting new band with the best name of the year and also the best video. Stunning. I want the silver jacket. The song that goes along with the visual is also pretty good. The guys mix radio rock with a bit of soul and a touch of glam. They actually remind me of a 2009 version of INXS. The other tracks on their myspace are also catchy and radio friendly. In fact, I'm surprised they haven't blown up bigger already. The single's not out quite yet, and it's been added to the Radio One playlist, so let's keep our fingers crossed. I have a feeling they could be potentially very interesting.

Some random thoughts

I won't be able to post a song today because my music is at my horribly (non)ventilated apartment and it is nearing triple digits in there today so I had to escape. We are not used to 100+ temps in the northwest! So instead I'm going to highlight some links that you probably already know about anyway :)

1. Although there seems to be a general dislike for him on the internet, I'm quite taken with Mika's choral-bombast of a comeback single We Are Golden. Ditto for the spastic-ADD video.

2. As I said on Monday, I'm pretty impressed with Disney's current crop of teen artists. This new track by Miley Cyrus is just another example of the simple, feel good pop the company is capable of churning out.

3. Not sure how I feel about the new Cinema Bizarre single. I really want to love these guys, and I think they're getting closer and closer to being awesome. I especially love the lead singer on this song, but Space Cowboy... shut the hell up! The verses are bizarrely horrible.

4. I am strangely addicted to Shakira's She-Wolf (and amazed that such an obvious disco track, called She-Wolf, no less, could end up being a US hit). My favorite part? The can't-be-bothered "wolf ow-woooo's" of the chorus.

"Take me with you, I start to miss you"

To be honest, this song is here today because of the handclaps. I am a big fan of handclaps in music, and without them this would be another generic emopop single (though actually this is more like straight-up powerpop than emo). Marianas Trench are a Canadian band who have recently released a concept album called Masterpiece Theatre that at times can get pretty theatrical. Fans of Queen should definitely check out the opening title track, the band's take on a Bohemian Rhapsody structure (complete with choral vocals). Even with all that drama, Cross My Heart is my favorite track. It's just a simple, unbelievably catchy radio single. Plus, the hand claps... LORD, the handclaps!

"Wasn't hard to read between the lines"

Totally new to the Demi Lovato fandom, but now I'm questioning why it took me so long. The reason Disney Channel music is so successful is because they've managed to pick a crop of artists that are, number one, pretty darn talented and, number two, actual songwriters. Lovato's second album may just be the most credible piece of music DisneyCorp has produced so far. What I love most about the cd is its total late 90's sound. There are shades of Tragic Kingdom, Jagged Little Pill, Pieces Of You and Left Of The Middle in there. That's not to say the record is as good as any of those landmarks, but it's still a marvel of "teen" pop. I almost posted the danceable and catchy-as-all-get-out Remember December (search for it, you won't be disappointed), but had to go with U Got Nothin' On Me. The chorus is great (including the inspired Def Leppard-esque chanting of the title), but it's the shimmery verses that send me over the edge. I love the way they're structured: build and release, build and release. They remind me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it. Whatever it is, this is (surprisingly) a record to check out.

Change Facebook Username


Beberapa waktu yang lalu Facebook menerapkan sistem Username, yang artinya alamat Facebook kita tidak lagi terdiri dari deretan angka, baca dulu arsip lama di: SINI. Yang kita bicarakan kali ini tentang perubahan Username.

Pada saat diluncurkan memang ditegaskan pemilihan Username harus diperhitungkan masak-masak karena saat itu dilarang mengubah lagi Username yang sudah dipilih, tetapi Facebook akhirnya mengubah peraturan lagi termasuk buat pengguna yang merasa salah pilih nama atau nama tidak sesuai atau nama yang dipilih saat itu adalah nama publik/ milik orang lain. Dengan banyak pertimbangan tersebut Facebook memperbolehkan untuk melakukan perubahan Username sekali lagi, artinya untuk pengguna yang pernah memilih username boleh mengganti sekali lagi untuk menentukan Username yang benar-benar akan digunakan.

Cara pengubahan Username sangat gampang, pertama masuk ke "Settings" trus "Account Settings" trus klik "Change" di baris "Username", liat terlebih dahulu ketersediaan nama dan hati-hati dalam memilih nama.

Silahkan tentukan Username anda dengan benar karena Facebook juga mencerminkan pribadi Anda...

"When we touch is the truth too much?"

This track has kinda already been around the blogging block this week, but when something fits my taste so perfectly, I've got to spotlight it. Visitor is a UK band (I featured them a long time ago when they were called Cobra Dukes) and Los Feeling is the only track I've heard from them so far, but based on just these three and a half minutes, I'm salivating for more. Now that Daggers have converted to the not-as-good Hurts, these guys seem to be intent on taking their place. The music is quite similar: highly melodic synth pop with brilliant vocals. Los Feeling (is it meant to be Lost Feeling, I wonder?) is majestic and seems to be in a constant state of elevation. It just keeps building and building. A band to watch, for sure.

"Tired of this place, tired of this city"

Although it's all about Michael right now (and believe you me, I am a freaky-enormous-obssesso fan), Janet's always been the Jackson for me. The fan love has slowed in recent years when her music began to take a different direction, but yesterday an unreleased Rhythm Nation track leaked and reminded me of exactly how ridiculously amazing she is. it's funny because I've actually been looking for an excuse to write about Rhythm Nation since I listened to it a week or so ago. Even with all its accolades and success, I think it is an extremely underrated album in the grand scheme of things. I can't think of anything that came before or after it that sounded or looked the same. It's full of the kind of artistic, ground(and ball)breaking pop music that really doesn't exist anymore. And Work, the new unreleased track, is better than anything on the radio now. And the thing is, it's not even technically "finished" yet. I practically drool over the thought that there are more tracks in the vault like this. This is how it's done, folks. And Ms. Jackson? Please get back to this sort of thing. It's so funky.

"Sing with me tonight"

While not the pop masterpiece it could have been, Blake Lewis' debut record is highly underrated. At least he tried something, unlike most of the American Idol alum. Now he's preparing for his second album, which is said to be even more pop/dance. The first single, Sad Song, is great but I can tell you now that it will not be a hit. But, you know... that's totally fine. It's far more European than most Americans like and expect, but I think Blake's better as an indie artist anyway. Most importantly, he's stayed true to himself and produced something that he's proud of (or at least I assume so). He continues to be one of the most musically interesting in the AI cannon and probably the one creating music closest to my taste. Consider this an appetizer to the bound-to-be-great Adam Lambert single.

Test Run BlackBerry Messenger Versi 5.0

BlackBerry Messenger merupakan salah satu keunggulan dari penggunaan perangkat BlackBerry selain layanan Push Mail, layanan Messenger khusus buat pemilik BlackBerry ini dirancang khusus untuk berkomunikasi di antara pengguna menggunakan penghubung Nomor PIN yang juga eksklusif untuk masing-masing perangkat BlackBerry. Saat ini pengguna BlackBerry mungkin masih memakai BlackBerry Messenger versi terakhir 4.6 yang resmi dari RIM yang hanya terdiri dari nama-nama kontak plus status apabila ada, tampilannya sangat sederhana tidak seperti messenger lain (Yahoo!Messenger atau Gtalk).

Saat ini sudah ada bocoran BlackBerry Messenger versi 5.0 yang beredar luar di internet meski belum secara resmi dirilis RIM. Kalo pengen nyobain download aja via OTA di BlackBerry Browser pilih sesuai dengan tipe handheld serta OS yang sesuai, bisa diliat terlebih dahulu di menu Option untuk mengetahui OS yang digunakan trus apabila sudah siap mau download terlebih dahulu backup contact list di messenger untuk menghindari kegagalan. Setelah download ikuti aja semua perintah yang ada termasuk Reboot untuk mengganti ke messenger yang baru.

Setelah terinstal akan terlihat banyak sekali perbedaan dengan messenger versi sebelumnya, selain secara tampilan yang lebih mirip Yahoo!Messenger kayak adanya Avatar untuk masing-masing ID, foto atau avatar ini akan langsung terintegrasi dengan Phone Book di BlackBerry Messenger sehingga akan sama dengan gambar yang ada di Pnone Book atau di Profil Facebook. Untuk perangkat BlackBerry yang tersedia GPS maka di messenger ini juga akan terintegrasi GPS location dan bisa di-share keberadaan kita ke teman yang lain.

Untuk masalah message juga lebih enak dengan adanya pilihan Conversation Subject yakni memberikan judul atau label pada saat chatting atau conference. Untuk pengiriman file data selain picture/ foto dan voice/ suara, BlackBerry Contact dan Messenger Contact, messenger versi 5.0 ini juga support pengiriman file video. Untuk pengiriman ke semua contact dengan cara Broadcast Message dapat dilakukan dengan cara yang mudah termasuk pengiriman ke Group tertentu yang saat ini pengelompokan contact berdasarkan grup juga dapat dilakukan seperti di Y!M. Fitur lain yang ditunggu pengguna BlackBerry antara lain SMS support serta dukungan homescreen untuk contact BlackBerry Messenger yang ditempatkan langsung di halaman depan. Pengen tau updates terbaru dari temen lain tersedia Recent Updates yang berisi perubahan info contact atau bahkan upadtes status messenger.

Messenger terbaru ini mensupport Backup Restore Contact List termasuk juga Delete Backup List jadi secara rutin kita dapat melakukannya. Sedangkan untuk menambahkan contact baru juga lebih mudah dengan tambahan support barcode atau dikenal sebagai QR Code selain dengan alamat email dan PIN BlackBerry, jadi tinggal scan dan simpan barcode teman-teman menggunakan kamera gak perlu ngapalin PIN lagi. Oh ya tentang QR code ini mungkin dapat ditemukan di BlackBerry OS versi 5.0 lihat di Edit My Info yang dapat digunakan untuk menyimpan data pribadi seperti nama, PIN BB, website links dan yang lainnya, code ini memudahkan pengguna BlackBerry untuk saling bertukar contact information (kalo pengen tau liat koran Kompas di tengah-tengah tulisan artikel ada kode barcode kotak).

Menu-menu yang ada di Option BBM versi 5 ini yang baru seperti Conversation Style, mau pilih model Standard, Chat Bubbles atau Stripes. Untuk Avatar ada pilihan disinkronisasikan dengan Phone Book atau tersendiri, untuk setting Location via GPS dapat diatur jarak dalam Km atau Mile, kalo yang lain mungkin hampir sama dengan yang lama.

Karena yang beredar saat ini adalah versi Beta, apabila gak suka dengan versi baru ini dan pengen balik ke versi lama tinggal delete BB versi 5 ini via Option trus buka Advance Option. setelah terhapus lakukan restart dan instal versi 4.6 via BlackBerry Desktop Manager via Application Loader.

Link OTA dari Browser BB:
OTA OS 4.5, Type 83xx/ 81xx: http://bit.ly/3TXjfg

Alienhits loves... Weeds!

Every week since it returned for its fifth season I've been itching to write about my favorite show on TV, Weeds. As a writer, I am continually awed by the clever cliffhangers, rollicking pace and perfect dialogue on display each week. I can't remember another show that's been able to change nearly everything about itself (between seasons three and four) and remain so addicting and creative. Of all the television I watch, Weeds is always the series that goes there. You never know what's going to happen next.

It's also a show that respects its audience and its own history. Minor characters reappear at surprising times and dialogue often references past seasons. It gives the show a necessary realism at odds with the crazy things that unfold each episode.

Most importantly, though, Weeds manages to be both the most suspenseful series on TV and the funniest. That's a hard line to straddle, and all of my favorite series do so brilliantly. But none has done so consistently for five seasons. I hope we get even more. The writers' creativity could carry these characters in so many directions yet.

As I mentioned before, the fifth season premiered a few weeks ago on Showtime. If you've never given Weeds a try before, rent the previous seasons. Each can easily be watched in one sitting. It's just that good. (Plus, Mary Louise-Parker is the best thing ever)

Google Voice

Setelah 2 tahun dalam masa pengembangan akhirnya Google Voice dirilis beberapa hari yang lalu untuk perangkat BlackBerry dan Android. Aplikasi layaknya Gmail for voicemail dapat digunakan langsung dari perangkat mobile, aplikasi ini dapat digunakan untuk menelepon langsung dari interface Google Voice, bahkan dapat digunakan untuk sambungan international.

Mungkin ingat dengan Skype, tetapi jangan buru-buru gunakan Google Voice dulu, keuntungan dan kerugiannya juga banyak. Kalo masalah keuntungan Google Voice memungkinkan untuk menggabungkan semua telepon di bawah satu nomor, Google Voice juga punya kemampuan meyeleleksi panggilan masuk, menyimpan pesan suara, kemampuan untuk SMS dan dapat digunakan untuk melakukan panggilan di saat ada panggilan.

Masalah privacy di Google masih perlu dipertanyakan, apalagi kebiasaan Google yang akan menyelipkan iklan di tengah layanannya. Dengan adanya satu nomor ini juga merepotkan pada saat ganti nomor telepon, selain itu juga agak sulit karena ID penelepon masih suka membingungkan misalnya saat kita menelepon masih akan tampil nomor lama bukan nomor Google Voice, mesipun ini juga bisa diatur tetapi perlu kehati-hatian...

Silahkan mencoba layanan baru dari Google ini...

"Live forever, wait in line"

Sorry about the sporadic postings this week. You probably won't get one tomorrow either. I'm housesitting for my parents and don't have access to most of the music I'd be posting, so it makes things a little difficult (plus, I'm seeing HP tomorrow night :). Today, though, I've got a track from a little-known 80's group that's really an undiscovered gem. Industry follows the Duran Duran trend of the day, but I think they do it a little better. The lead singer's vocals are flawless and the pop hooks are piled on. They're best known for the oh-so-catchy (and oh-so-topical) State of the Nation (video here), but all their songs are worth hearing. Communication, which comes late in the album, is an especially poptastic 80's track. It reminds me of the Buggles a little bit. It's got that same experimental quality to it.

I am on Twitter!

I kinda told myself I'd never be on this twitter thing, but I have a very exciting (possible) upcoming project and twitter may end up being a great way to get the word out.
So, if you're interested in keeping up with me trying to be witty (plus my thoughts on music, movies, life, etc) FOLLOW ME!

"I wish that you could see me now"

Popjustice has been all over British singer MPHO for awhile now. She's of the Kelis/Janelle Monae/Santigold realm of mixing many genres, most notably r&b, funk, new wave and pop. In other words, she's the kind of singer that I wish people like Beyonce were. Her Echo Beach-sampling Box 'n Locks is a great summer single that has gone unfortunately unnoticed. The rest of the upcoming album (Pop Art) is pretty good too. Definitely along the same lines. I love the combination of soul and new wave. Unfortunately it's not a genre that ever sees the major success that it should.

Facebook For Windows Mobile 6

Penguna handphone dengan OS Windows Mobile boleh bangga akhirnya dapat menikmati aplikasi Facebook langsung dari HP-nya. Agak berbeda dengan aplikasi Facebook untuk BlackBerry dan iPhone, perangkat genggam Windows Mobile dapat juga menginstall aplikasi Facebook di handphone-nya.

Saat ini baru mencoba memasang aplikasi Facebook ini di handphone Motorola dengan OS Windows mobile, caranya sih mudah tinggal arahkan browser ke http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx trus cari link download langsung ke hape atau bisa juga buka dulu dengan PC baru diinstall via koneksi PC dan HP.

Fitur yang ada saat ini gak beda jauh dengan yang ada di BlackBerry atau iPhone antara lain mengirim Message, update status, ambil foto dan uploads langsung, kirim pesan dan menelepon langsung dari Friend List serta segala hal untuk memanage profil anytime & everywhere. Selain mudah upload foto juga mudah untuk upload video bahkan ada pendapat kalo aplikasi ini adalah gabungan dari Facebook dengan iPhone dan BlackBerry.

Memang kalo dari segi pemakaiannya agak ribet dibanding BlackBerry atau iPhone karena navigasinya berdasarkan kursor dimana perangkat ini gak ada scroll mouse atau touchscreen.

Edisi: Happy Birthday Nicola Tesla!
Date: 10.07.2009

Source: http://www.google.com.sg/logos/tesla09.gif

Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was an inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer. Tesla was an ethnic Serb born in the village of Smiljan, Vojna Krajina, in the territory of today's Croatia. He was a subject of the Austrian Empire by birth and later became an American citizen. He is frequently cited as one of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial electricity, a man who "shed light over the face of Earth". He is best known for many revolutionary contributions in the field of electricity and magnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase power distribution systems and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution.

Track-by-Track: The Galvatrons - Laser Graffiti

Prepare yourself for some gushing, because I have been waiting patiently for this album for over a year now. It does not disappoint. I only wish it was long.

1. And So They Invade... - A short intro, made up of the promise "we're hear to save the world." It definitely sets up the drama that is about to unfold. Choirs collide with synthesizers. Epic. ?/10

2. The First Starfighter - A dramatic, sci-fi inspired beast of a song, this is a definite standout even before it breaks down into a frantic, staccato spaceship-crash story-song. 10/10

3. Cassandra - The album version of this stellar single is given a slightly longer intro and ratchets up the buzzsaw guitars until they duel with Johnny's impassioned vocals. The beginning sounds straight out of the 80's Transformers movie--a definite good thing. Why oh why wasn't this a massive worldwide hit? 10/10

4. We Were Kids - The original single version has been remixed for the album. It ups the synthesizers and vocal processing, plus adds another refrain after the chorus. I can't say it's quite as amazing as the original version, but that's a very very minor complaint because this is one of the band's most iconic songs. 10/10

5. Robots Are Cool - Unlike many of the other tracks, this one hasn't been changed much at all from it's original incarnation. It is definitely the most poppy song on the album, and highlights a different side of the 80's. I've always loved the lyrics and the excellent guitar solo near the end. 10/10

6. Laser Graffiti - The title track is big and brash and really feels like a bunch of laser beams shining directly in your face. The synths are very prominent here and highlight the excellent verses perfectly. The part directly after the first chorus is especially dramatic. The only quibble (and it is very minor) is that the song could've been cut about twenty seconds before the end. 9/10

7. Light Speed - This one reminds me more of big-voiced bands like Journey and Survivor. It is certainly an epic track, with one of the album's strongest choruses, a surging sound, and some very clever lyrics. This one's gotten stuck in my head more than a few times. 10/10

8. Stella - The same problems I had with the original are apparent on the album version. While I LOVE the verses, I still find the hook pretty weak. The pace and instrumentation break up the end of the album nicely, though, and it's still a great track. 8/10

9. She's In Love - A major revision of the original EP version, this one has been turned into a huge synth-thrashing monster. I love the added drama in the chorus. I love the synths, and I'm curious about a few of the changed lyrics and the idea to nix the opening guitar solo (it appears in the middle eight, thank god!). This has always been one of my favorites from the band. 10/10

10. Molotov Cocktail - VERY Van Halen. It mixes Jump and Panama flawlessly, with some catchy-beyond-believe guitar and synth chugs. It is certainly the party track and excels at it. 9/10

11. Galaxy Destroyer - While I do really like this track, I also expected a bit more from the album closer. It's the "slow" track of the album, and feels like it just kinda sits there. The vocals are interesting, and I love the choir (but feel they could have been utilized more) and how the intro repeats itself. But it could have been even better 8/10

Album Grade: 9.4/10

Fan Box Widget, New Fitur Facebook Page

Hari ini Facebook merilis winget baru yang diberi nama Fan Box khusus buat pemilik Facebook Page yang dapat disematkan atau dipasang di website atau blog. Berbeda dengan yang sebelumnya sudah ada yakni Badge yang juga dapat dipasang di web atau blog, Fan Box ini isinya lebih lengkap seperti buka halaman Facebook Page, pokoknya beda jauh dengan Badge yang hanya terdiri dari Nama, Profile Picture, Status dan Fans.

Fan Box ini lebih interaktif karena dapat melihat semua kegiatan di Facebook secara live streaming yang terdiri dari 3 komponen "Button", "Stream" dan "Fans List". Untuk "Stream" dan "Fans List" bersifat optional alias boleh ditampilkan atau tidak di website sedangkan untuk "Button" selain Profile Picture dan Nama juga ada tombol untuk menjadi fans atau "Become a Fans". Apabila "Stream" diaktifkan maka semua aktifitas Page akan muncul di widget termasuk "Status" dan "Recent Post" seperti Notes atau Picture/ Video Upload, apabila "Fans List" diaktifkan maka akan muncul foto-foto Fans serta jumlah Fans yang ada, jumlah Fans yang ada dapat diatur sesuai keinginan maksimal 100 fans meski secara default adalah 10 fans.

Widget yang kedua adalah "Live Stream Box" yang berisi menu "Everyone Watching" dan "Friends" serta ada kolom buat Update Status secara langsung dengan login terlebih dahulu pastinya. Menu "Friends" sudah pasti berisi semua upadte status dari "Fans" tetapi untuk yang "Everyone Watching" belum jelas pengguna Facebook mana ayang muncul di menu ini.

Mengenai bentuk dan ukuran widget ini juga dapat dicustomized, sebelumnya copy dulu script yang sudah tersedia untuk masing-masing widget ke notepad atau program pengolah kata lainnya. edit ukuran yang diinginkan dalam pixel (defaultnya lebar adalah 300 pixel) sebaiknya lebih dari 200 pixel, kalo tinggi secara default adalah 64 px hanya untuk "Button" sedangak kalo semua fitur disertakan akan menjadi 554 px. Untuk jumlah Fans yang akan disertakan dapat diatur dengan mengedit "connections" pada script (secara default adalah 10 fans dan maksimal 100 fans). Untuk mengatur stream stories dapat mengedit script menjadoi "0" untuk menyembunyikannya sedang secara deafult adalah "1" atau aktif.

Cara menggunakan widget ini juga mudah, pertama kunjungi Facebook Page yang akan ditampilkan ke website atau blog, lihat di bawah Profile Picture, klik "Add Fan Box to your site" trus pilih mau yang "Fan Box" aja atau "Live Stream Box", atur sesuai keinginan, copy script yang tersedia kemudian paste di tempat yang diinginkan di blog atau website.

Silahkan yang memiliki Facebook Page ini untuk mencoba di website atau blog dan bagi yang belum jadi member TamtomoVision boleh "Became a Fans" dengan mengunjungi http://www.facebook.com/pages/TamtomoVision/47904406328

"Don't ever surrender"

I am totally in love with the Galvatrons. They are a band built especially for me. The first two songs I was completely obsessed with as a very young child were Europe's Final Countdown and Stan Bush's The Touch (from the original Transformers movie). Laser Graffiti sounds very much like both of those songs, with a good portion of Van Halen's Jump as well. Before listening to the album, I knew every song but two, though it was still amazing to hear them all in their studio versions strung together. One of the songs I hadn't heard was Light Speed, and it's ended up being one of my favorites. It absolutely defines the term "anthem," with an epic, EPIC sounding chorus. Again, it's pretty much built precisely for my taste. The band's taken the album off myspace, but it's one million percent recommended so track it down.

Facebook, Nomor 1 Di Indonesia


Bulan April kemarin Facebook mengumumkan jumlah pengguna yang bertambah cepat menjadi 200 juta, angka sejumlah itu saat ini terlampaui dengan cepat menjadi 225 juta pengguna, bandingkan dengan MySpace dengan member saat ini hanya sejumlah 263 juta yang bisa dilihat dari Friends Tom (pemilik MySpace). Pengguna Facebook di Indonesia lebih cepat lagi pertumbuhannya dibanding MySpace dan Friendster yang mulai ditinggalkan.

Banyak alasan pengguna internet beralih ke Facebook termasuk pengguna dari Indonesia seperti dukungan layanan bahasa Indonesia, pengguna BlackBerry/ iPhone yang juga tumbuh pesat termasuk aplikasi Facebook-nya, tampilan Facebook yang lebih bersih biru-putih dibandingkan Friendster-MySpace, banyaknya aplikasi menarik yang dapat ditambahkan, layanan mobile version yang dapat dibuka diberbagai perangkat mobile dan berbagai alasan lain yang berbeda-beda.

Pertumbuhan Facebook yang mengalahkan MySpace dan Friendster dapat dilihat di grafik Google Trends di atas, sedangkan kalo menurut Alexa secara global Facebook menempati peringkat ketiga setelah Google, Yahoo! dan YouTube sedangkan MySpace ada di posisi 11 dan parahnya Friendster di tempat ke 91 kalah jauh dari Orlut, Hi5 sekalipun. Kalo di Indonesia saat ini justru dikuasai Facebook pada posisi utama diikuti Google.co.id, Yahoo!, Google.com, Blogger.com dan YouTube.com, Friendster masih di posisi ke 7 sedangkan MySpace tak terlalu banyak pengguna Indonesia sehingga keluar dari 100 besar.

Kalo dilihat dari sisi keuangan, keuntungan Facebook tahun ini juga menakjubkan, seperti dilansir Board Member Facebook di Reuters kalo pendapatan tahun 2009 ini mencapai $500 juta, bahkan diramalkan di lima tahun ke depan akan mencapai milyar-an dollar. Usia Facebook sendiri yang masih baru dibanding Social Network yang lain seperti Friendster dan MySpace sangat mengejutkan karena pertumbuhan jumlah pengguna maupun keuntungan yang didapatkan.

Trus apa alasan anda punya account Facebook? ikut trend?

Malena Ernman's album came out recently in Sweden. In case you forgot, she was the winner of this year's Melodifestivalen with her wonderful entry, La Voix. I really want to like the full album more than I do (too many goopy Celine Dion-lite ballads and not enough bombast), but there were some tracks that really hit me over the head the first listen. Sempre Libera is another Kempe track, and a splendid one at that. For all intents and purposes, it's La Voix Part II--totally over the top and all the better for it. There's also a total camptastic dance track on the album called Tragedy. Not sure about that one yet, but it's definitely different. I would've preferred an entire album in the La Voix style of layered operatics over dance beats, but at least we got a few other tracks in that vein.

Jangan Kalut Apabila Terkena Account Disabled di Facebook


Saat ini anda mengalami kejadian tidak dapat masuk ke account Facebook atau dapat masuk ke account tetapi ada peringatan atau Warning?.... Padahal Facebook anda memiliki foto atau video yang lumayan banyak atau jumlah Friends yang mendekati limit 5000 orang? Jangan panik dulu dan jangan buru-buru bikin acoount baru....

Dulu saya juga pernah mengalami pada account yang lainnya, team Facebook menutup akses ke Facebook tanpa Warning sama sekali tetapi langsung disable, mungkin secara tak tak sadar ada kesalahan yang kita perbuat yang menyebabkan account disabled. Pertama kita kirim email dulu ke alamat disabled@facebook.com dengan subject dan isi berbahasa Inggris tentang kasus yang dialami dan mintai diaktifkan kembali, team Facebook akan menjawab segera email tersebut dan kita tinggal ikutin aja yang diperintahkan pengirim imelnya dengan mereply terus tanpa merubah subject dan tetap menyertakan imel sebelumnya, Team Facebook akan memberitahukan kesalahan kita misalnya penggunaan nama di Facebook kita disuruh memberikan nama sesuai identitas kita bahkan kita disuruh kirim hasil scan ID kita misalnya KTP dan tunggu beberapa hari sampai ada pemberitahuan kalo account aktif kembali.

Perlu diketahui, Facebok memiliki beberapa peraturan yang harus dipatuhi dan seharusnya dimengerti saat membuka account di Facebook, penutupan account oleh Facebook juga didasari oleh pelanggaran peraturan tersebut. Beberapa aturan yang penting dan perlu diperhatikan antara lain usia harus diatas 13 tahun (jika berusia antara 13-17 tahun harus ada ijin ortu), menggunakan nama sebenarnya bukan nama palsu atau nama orang terkenal lainnya atau informasi palsu lainnya, melakukan kegiatan yang merugikan atau mengganggu kinerja layanan Facebook misalnya melakukan spamming terus mengancam atau melecehkan pihak lain misalnya masalah SARA atau untuk kegiatan pornografi. Itu sebagian peraturan yang harus dipatuhi, peraturan lain dapat dilihat di http://www.facebook.com/terms.php

Sebenernya kalo belum sempat kena disabled oleh Facebook misalnya cuman dapet peringatan/ Warning aja, disarankan untuk tidak membuka terlebih dahulu selama seminggu atau minimal tidak melakukan kegiatan di account tersebut. Kalo udah terlanjur ditutup setelah mengirim email seperti langkah diatas tunggu 1-2 hari account akan kembali lagi dapat diakses. Ada banyak kegiatan yang meneyebabkan account Facebook ditutup, mungkin tidak disadari pemiliknya, contoh kecil selain penggunaan nama antara lain penggunaan fasilitas Wall dan Add Friends yang berlebihan atau mengirimkan Link yang berlebihan ke teman.

Berikut ada 13 alasan account Facebook dihapus oleh pengelola Facebook yang dikutip dari GetSatifaction.com antara lain:

1. Tidak menggunakan nama yang sebenarnya di Facebook. Buat yang gemar gonta ganti nama di Facebook harus hati-hati apalagi buat yang gemar mencantumkan nama toko publik atau bahkan nama palsu dari tokoh publik.
2. Terlalu banyak ikut Group apalagi yang lebih dari 200 group, Facebook akan mendeteksi dugaan penyebaran spam atau pesan sampah di wall grup yang diikuti.
3. Terlalu banyak mengirim message berupa Wall di tempat teman atau di grup yang diikuti apalagi yang mengandung unsur SARA, sebaiknya menggunakan fasilitas private message atau via Facebook chat.
4. Sama dengan nomor 3 tetapi pengiriman message berupa Wall di banyak Grup yang diikuti sekaligus dan akan diindikasikan sebagai spamming oleh Facebook, hati-hati yang rajin jualan di Facebook.
5. Terlalu banyak menambahkan teman di Facebook karena Facebook sendiri membatasi hanya 5000 orang dalam satu account dan biasanya mendekati angka tersebut akan dipantau oleh Facebook. Add Friend juga dibatasi dalam sehari tidak dapat sekaligus banyak, kalopun pengen cepet minta orang lain untut sugested friend atau dia yang add friend.
6. Nama sekolah/ kampus atau organisasi yang sesungguhnya dia tidak pernah ikutin, misalnya asal nulis nama kampus biar keren.
7. Menggunakan fitur Poke yang berlebihan, mentang-mentang rajin Fesbukan jangan asal colek ke banyak orang dalam sehari.
8. Mengiklankan aplikasi di Wall teman, contohnya aja aplikasi quiz yang diposting di halam profil teman atau apa aja yang berbau iklan atau spam.
9. Mengirim pesan yang sama persis isinya dan dikirim dalam waktu yang bersamaan dalam jumlah yang besar ke banyak teman, buat yang suka ngiklanin produk harus segera ganti strategi nih...
10. Mendaftarkan account Facebook untuk sesuatu yang bukan berujud manusia seperti binatang peliharaan atau nama suatu benda, sebaiknya bikin profil page aja untuk yang seperti ini.
11. Hati-hati untuk yang berumur di bawah 18 tahun apalagi memalsukan umur, perhatiakan peraturan saat mendaftar account.
12. Memposting sesuatu yang bersifat offensif, berbau SARA atau pornografi, hati-hati juga yang hobi memposting foto-foto pribadi yang gak layak dishare ke publik meski udah ada pengaturan privacy, only friend atau public.
13. Mengoleksi informasi dari dan dengan menggunakan Facebook melalui script apalgi untuk mengeruk keuntungan dari Facebook.

Dari tiga belas alasan tersebut mungkin kita baru sadar kalo itu suatu kesalahan, apalagi sudah mendapat peringatan atau warning bahkan sampai taraf disabled account. Intinya cuman satu: gunakan Facebook sewajarnya atau jangan berlebihan...

"It's molotov cocktail, poison for kids"

There is another Galvatrons song that I've been itching to post, and I will next week once I have it in high quality, but I'm going to write about Molotov Cocktail today to remind you that Laser Graffiti (aka: one of the best albums of 2009) is released this Friday. The guys have referred to Molotov Cocktail as the "party track" of the album. It's certainly got the monster synth riffs and chant-worthy hooks. Bottom line: I am in love with this band. Get the album. Love it. Pump your fist in the air and go crazy. It's freaking epic.
