Facebook Again!

Not to long ago, I think in Dec. 09 – Facebook has been requesting that you review thier new privacy terms, as well as a few other changes. But if you didn’t agree, or waited to long, you wern’t able to move onto your page until you completed the new update. With the new rules in place you we’re giving a little more tweaking of your privacy. I wonder if these changes we’re related to last weekends problems, not able to log on to your page. It seems that Facebook is always making funny changes, mostly not very good ones. Maybe their getting ready to take the comapany to the next level, becoming a public traded company. I really don’t know their plans, I don’t think anyone does. I do wish they would stop making so many changes, it’s driving me nuts.

Paying More For Internet!

Not to long ago a test done by Time Warner Cable Inc. went very well, according to them. The test was charging more to their customers that went over their limit of data traffic. This test was done in one market to make sure their system can charge the right rate and monitor customer usage. I was reading that if you where a customer paying $30 a month you had 5 gigabytes of transfer data. And if you went over that limit you would be charge $1 for every gigabyte over the 5. If you ask me the 5 gigabyte limit is way to low. I would burn through that amount in the first week. I would consider switching to a new ISP if this comes to my area. Time Warner Cable is taking advantage of hard working people, this is wrong. Since they think everything went so well they have choose to role this out to 4 more major U.S. markets. And if your wondering if other ISP are doing the same thing, that would be a yes. But no where’s near the lows of transfer data that Time Warner Cable is giving. The other ISP’s are offering limits starting at 60 gigabyte all the way up to 250 gigabytes. So you can see why I think Time Warner Cable is taken advantage of people. If they try this with me I will leave them and switch to DLS or find another Cable provider. However, with all that being said, not all ISP’s are going to be doing this, so this just might keep the other ISP’s in check.

Going High Speed!

Are you sick and tired of your DSL Internet provided? Or if you’re using dial yet, you must be sick and tired of the slow speed. I know if I was using DSL or dial up for my Internet services I couldn’t handle the slow connection speeds. At times I get tired of watching the load bar with my cable high speed connection. However, for the most part I don’t have any problems with connection speeds, but faster would be better. That’s just the world we live in, we’re always looking for something better. Until we update our cable wiring system we’re going to be stuck at the speed we’re at now, which works pretty good for most of us. But for the one’s of you using DSL or dial up stop waiting and get going with the high speed connection. Sitting around waiting for your downloads isn’t worth it. Or if you’re watching a video or show it sucks when your stops to load. I recommend, if you can afford it, call Charter, which you could follow on Facebook, here’s Charter’s Facebook page. If Charter isn’t available in your area call your local cable company and get signed up for cable high speed internet. Once you make the switch you’ll never go back.

Free Domain Hosting!

One of the most asked questions I receive is – Is getting free hosting really a good deal?  We’ll, I really don’t know, I’ll leave it up to you (readers) to answer that after you read what I have to say.  Ok, if you like having those annoying banners or pop-ups on your site?  Or if you found a free hosting provider that doesn’t have the banners or pop-ups but has given you next to nothing in space and bandwidth.  Which if you use up all your space your site stands the chance of going out.  Now, on the other hand you can purchase a hosting account from some really good providers out there.  I have found some hosting providers that charge between $1.99 to $8.99 a month for services.  All of these provider offer different packages you would need to research.  Remember, your website is yours, take control on how you want it to be viewed by the rest of the world.  If you don’t really care about the banners or pop-ups, go with the free hosting.  If you hate the banners and pop-ups and you think your viewers will as well, purchase yourself a good hosting account.  That’s all I have to say on this subject!
