During the past 2 days.

Consequently if you click the "facebook share" icon you are liable to get the following message or similar.

Service Unavailable - DNS failure

The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later.

Reference #11.2c6d1160.1285275001.2deeb0c1

Please be aware that this is a result of facebook's outage and not a problem AuctionArms servers are causing.

Could be that the owner of FaceBook can't afford that 100 Million dollar donation to the New Jersey school system, after all!!!!!!

Ya know.... It's not a whole lot different than we do here on the forums. Socializing and discussing our lives and that of others.

Not saying I am a real fan of it but it is there and a useful business tool and FREE so.....

Face book is also good when you have family and friends who live out of town and now they have the ability to post family photo on the wall or in albums.

One of the most amazing things on the net is Skype,free to down load,and you can make video calls domestic or around the world to friends and relatives FREE of charge.My wife makes video calls to her daughter and grandaughter in Ukraine for hours on end and it does not cost  anything.If your computer doesn't have a video cam and a mike,you can buy a cam and mike in a single unit that plugs in a USB port for $20 that works great..

Hartwell, thats correct. Instead of emailing relatives you can have ongoing family OR friends interactions and you can limit those you do not want to be involved. Just another communication tool we older folks sometimes do not embrace as much as the younger crowd.

Doctor friend of mine has a son going to school in Scotland and they use Skype all the time. Skype was owned by ebay and probably still is I do not remember but it is free.

Has anyone heard of "GETFUGU"?
 
It is supposed to be the next big deal for any kind of product recognition through any device; phone, ipad-pod, Android, Bluetooth etc, worldwide.
Works on a "See It, Say It, Get It" system. You just point your phone/cam at anything and it will tell you all there is to know about it.
 
Ties in with GPS somehow, as well. And advertisers are starting to see big potential for this new type of application. -??-
