Notice: This Blog Is Under Construction And Is A Work In Progress.


I just wanted to inform my readers that my blog will be under construction for the next few months. Many of the help topics are going to be re-written and updated to provide better information. None of the current information will be removed or unavailable during the re-construction, so don't worry, you will still be able to access everything. :)

<< Special Report - Discover New Games May Lie To You >>

Over the Last few weeks I have documented what appears to be the Facebook Platform misleading users about the Apps and Games their friends are currently using or playing on the platform. As of now ZDNet blogger Emil Protalinski has chimed in to ask the same question: What's up with the Discover New Games module, why does it claim my friends are playing games they don't? Check out his report.

Facebook Timeline Removal And Color Change Scams.


<< Scam Alert >> Please like and Share.

The messages are scams and you should avoid them. There is no way to remove the Timeline and there are no Facebook applications available that can change the color of your Facebook profile.
