“I always wanted to create a community that could reduce the global gap, bring people near to each other, and assist them in adding life to their boring lives,” says Audun Holme, a veteran Internet entrepreneur and the founder of funnyquotesonline.org. “There can be no better way to do this other than humor. The community will act as a marketplace where people can share their funny quotes free. Not only will it aid them to explore their creativity but also taste the recipe of fun and humor.”

New Social Networking Website Launched

June 16th, 2009

Buttas.com is a fun social networking website where users interact, compete and discuss the latest celeb news and social topics with others through picture rating facilities, and a celebrity entertainment blog

The title of the site is derived from the word Buttas, which is UK street terminology for Ugly, and is generally used as an insult.

The quirky site is spearheaded by a fictional host MC Gremlin, who is a hilarious, hideously looking wannabe ladies-man and rapper. The buttas protagonist is joined by fellow comic characters; Dahsheeka, Mary Anne Blanc,Maneetah,Kingsley Cash and Mikee Mix. Each character has their own page with a bio. Some of the characters also front an aspect of the site relevant to their personality and characteristics e.g. Mary Anne’s News Watch is actually the celebrity news blog, where celeb gossip and media content is uploaded daily.

The site will initially target young people based in the UK with an interest in urban music culture. Users are able to purchase Buttas branded merchandise including; EBooks and T-shirts through the online shop facilities.

Buttas.com is the brainchild of David Bellgam, a recording artist/songwriter from South London. David claims the concept of the Buttas site was inspired by the Underground Garage hit record (also titled Buttas) he created along side former Streets Singer Leo’The lion’Ihenacho in 2003. The song was also responsible for the creation of MC Gremlin who was voiced By David on the recording.Gremlin’s facial features were actually developed from a caricature of David’s face(he vehemently claims that his facial features were exaggerated and distorted and the use of hideous fake teeth were employed to achieve the legendary buttas-ness)

Connecticut BBB warns Facebook users about new dangers lurking in cyberspace

February 18th, 2009

Popular social networking sites being used by hackers, con artists and ID thieves


Wallingford, CT – February 17, 2009 – Perhaps it was just a matter of time: Cyber-criminals have moved to popular social networking sites to spread viruses and steal users’ identities.


Sites like Facebook and MySpace have become fertile ground for hackers and scammers to lure unsuspecting users into downloading computer viruses and divulging personal information.


Connecticut Better Business Bureau President, Paulette Scarpetti, says scammers have found a new platform from which to do damage.


“As of December, Facebook had an estimated 150 million active users of all ages, many of whom are unaware that there are people on the same site trying to corrupt their computers and steal their identities. This is a wakeup call for all users, and especially, parents because of the vulnerability of young people on social network sites.”


The popularity of social networking sites has grown exponentially in recent years as a venue for finding and reconnecting with old friends we know and trust.

Better Business Bureau, however, warns that scammers know they can take advantage of that trust by posing as friends, family members and co-workers in order to commit cyber crime.

Common social networking schemes include:

“Friend in Distress” Scam

Facebook users may receive an e-mail from a friend saying they are in dire trouble – and need money wired to them.

The recipient is unaware their friend’s account has been hacked and that the message was sent by cyber criminals who ask that the friend wire them money. If the Facebook user wires the cash, they then discover their friend is safe, the e-mail was a scam and that there is no way of recovering the money.


Phishing Friends

A particularly aggressive computer virus called “Koobface” made the rounds on MySpace and recently hit users of Facebook. Users receive a message from a friend saying “You look awesome in this video,” and which contains a hyperlink to an outside web site to view the video.

When the victim clicks on the link they are told they have to update the popular Internet browser plug-in Adobe Flash. Agreeing to the download installs the virus onto the victim’s computer and monitors Internet activity to potentially steal personal information. Victims of the Koobface virus have experienced considerable difficulty removing it, and in some cases, simply scrapped their computers.

Your BBB has some advice for staying safe on social networking sites:

Be wary of messages from friends or strangers that direct you to another web site via a hyperlink.

Before wiring money to a “friend in distress,” users should attempt to contact the friend directly to confirm the situation. If that is not possible, BBB recommends asking a question to which only the friend would know the answer.

Keep important information private. While some social network sites allow the user to share phone numbers, birthdates, e-mail and postal addresses, BBB recommends against posting such information to prevent a cyber thief from gathering enough information to steal a user’s identity.

Be selective when accepting friend invitations. BBB warns it is best to decline a request for friendship from someone the user doesn’t know.

More advice on staying safe online is available at www.bbb.org.

We are able to see the Prosperous future of Social Networking

January 9th, 2009
Boston, MA ( Prfriend ) January 08, 2009 – “Social networking has found enormous growth through all these years. And 2008 has been the best period of growth of the Social networking websites. Myspace still tops the social networking website rankings, followed by Facebook. The steady growth of the social networking websites is expected to continue in 2009 too”, says Mr. Jonathan Mac, the professional social networking web designer of PearseStreet.com
His predictions about the future social networking was “Undoubtedly the popularity of Social networking will continue to rise next year too. As the social networks added extra convenience for communication, it will never loose its charm. Effective communication is a basic need of every human being in this planet and the social networking websites fulfill the communication needs. Buddies will stick around the existing social networks as they got used to it. Most of the teenagers today cannot imagine a world without social networking websites. Hence social networking is in the right path and will continue to grow in a faster rate”.
When asked about the changes in trends of the social networking websites, Mr. Jonathan Mac said, “Social networking features of the popular websites like Myspace and facebook haven’t changed a lot. However, to say a new trend in social networking, designing own social networks is the current attraction. Many people who are aware of social networking web design are creating their own social networks. In future we will be able to see many such social networking websites”.
He added that “There are many benefits of creating our own social networking websites. As far as personal use id concerned, creating our own social networking website will help us to manage our contacts more easily. Moreover, you can even get some revenue through ads if the social networking site picks up. Coming to the business point of view, creating own social networks will enable the businessmen to maintain a close relationship with the customers. They can also understand the customer needs and provide better services/products in future.”
He concluded saying “Social networking has a prosperous future. We can see it now by the introduction of many new social networks. With the easiness of social networking web design and the availability of social networking web designers, anyone can have a social networking website today”.

Paddow.com Social Networking Website Offers a Safe Environment for Dating, Chat, Online Communities, Music, Videos, Blogs, Relationship Advice, Self-Help and More.

September 2nd, 2008

Paddow.com was conceived and designed to be a place where people can be entertained, can meet and connect with others, can learn new things, and can just have some fun in a safe environment. Not a “meet/meat market,” Paddow offers opportunities for people from all over to meet and join with
others, on a variety of levels: friendship, family, social, business, or just common interests. Not just social networking, Paddow is social enrichment for visitors and members!

Hollywood, Florida, September 01,2008 — While Paddow.com may look similar to other “social networking” sites, it’s so much more! We provide articles on topics that can enrich your life because they will broaden your knowledge about a variety of important topics. Need a specific answer to a specific question? We have an advice column written by a psychologist/therapist. A new feature: a mentoring matchmaking service! You want a mentor or guide in your particular business or area of interest? Our service can match you up with one! The same service can also be used to give those individuals who are experts in their fields the opportunity to give back what they have learned by mentoring someone who is just starting out! In addition to information, Paddow also offers fun with a huge games section, videos, music, and clubs, and blogs on numerous issues, so that users can talk about whatever is important to them. We keep Paddow safe and open for everyone to use, as we monitor and keep out anything that is too explicit or offensive for most people.

Paddow was created by a psychologist who was tired of seeing a lot of social networking sites that were cool as far as helping people meet and interact, but that didn’t seem to actually have anything to “say” after they helped them meet. The site is for teens, adults, families, people in business, well, for everyone, really. We try to capture interests that a large number of people are likely to have, such as information or advice on relationships, career, love/dating, parenting, self-improvement, adolescent issues, and things that people normally encounter in life. We want to enrich the experience of whoever visits us, and we want to have as many resources in one place as we can. We will continue to grow, as a company, as we help our visitors grow, as people, so we’re always open to feedback. Also, life is about fun and relaxation, so we include more than 1,600 games on site, hundreds of videos, a variety of music, and an open invitation for visitors and members to send in music and videos, as well as their thoughts and feelings, so they can personalize their Paddow experience, and can make it a cooler site for others, as well.

Big White Wall announces the launch of the Award for Psychological Insight

November 16th, 2007

In the last couple of years, social networks have taken the media industry by storm as millions of people worldwide connect to each other online. But where has this need to network come from? And why is it so addictive?
Big White Wall launches the Award for Psychological Insight, offering a cash prize of $2,000 to the individual who best explores the psychological mysteries of social networking, and captures their findings in an article.

Commenting on the Award, Professor James W. Pennebaker, Chair of Psychology, University of Texas and author of Opening Up: The Healing Power of Expressing Emotions said: “Very little is known about self-expression online. Big White Wall’s award is an excellent opportunity to explore internet-based social and emotional processes”.

How to take part:

The Big White Wall Award for Psychological Insight is open to anyone who works or studies in the arena of psychology, counselling, therapy or emotional health.
Entrants must submit a 1500 – 2000 word article entitled ‘The psychology of networking online and its impact on emotional health’. Using a selection of social networks as case studies, entrants are invited to explore some of the following questions from a user’s perspective:·

  • What motivates people to join social networks?
  • What underlies different levels and patterns of engagement with social networks?
  • What encourages repeat usage and loyalty to any one site?
  • What are the overall benefits and pitfalls of social networking from a psychological perspective?

The author of the winning article will receive a cash prize of £1000. Articles will be judged on an evaluation of each individual’s experiences alongside supporting research material and/or relevant psychological theory. The winning article will be published on www.bigwhitewall.com.
All entries must be submitted by midnight GMT on February 1st 2008. The winner will be announced on February 29th 2008.
For an application form and further information, email: [email protected]

Note to editors:

Big White Wall is the place for emotional health online (www.bigwhitewall.com). It is a support network where, anonymously, people can honestly express everyday worries and deeper concerns, talk these through openly with others and learn more about how to be emotionally healthy. Users can feel immediately better by expressing their thoughts and feelings on The Wall by adding a brick using the unique easy-to-use design tool. It is a form of digital graffiti which creates an infinite and permanent Wall of human emotion.

Big White Wall takes traditional offline networks and recreates them as a global online support network. For example, through Talkabout a dynamic community of users can talk about whatever is on their minds. The critical difference between Big White Wall and other networks such as Facebook and MySpace, is that all users on Big White Wall are anonymous. This allows everyone to be open and honest and to really share what’s going on for them. Big White Wall was launched in October 2007 and is currently in beta.
