Hey.. Guys i just want to ask a basic question from all of you what do you think Which is better, facebook or twitter? As far as i think facebook is little better.. you share your opinion..
I use them for different things. I use Facebook for chatting with friends spread over different continents and staying in touch with Filipino organisations, like Pro-RH and Filipino Freethinkers, that I like. I use Twitter for keeping in touch with Chinese politics For what its worth, my Twitter account was hacked two days ago but my Facebook account has not yet been hacked.
I also don't use any social networking sites, my mobile phone is my social networker! Elsa uses FB a lot as she keeps in touch with her family over in Tacloban, however, whats worrying is that for the last 4 days, someone has tried to hack her account. However, the person trying to hack is a bit clueless to say the least - they keep doing a password reset request, of which goes to her email address, and she's had 5 of these password reset requests, despite never requesting one. If you do use Facebook, use a strong password, and keep that password different from your email address password. Once your email address is hacked, it could get very messy indeed. Yahoo is also another site that seems to have a lot of trouble lately - I know quite a few people who have had their yahoo.co.uk email hacked.
I use facebook to keep in touch, and thanks to it, I found an old friend from 40 odd years ago...:vhappy:
celebrities are always twitting words away. Twitter is more like for the celebrity fans lol. Realy me I say Facebook
I don't use Facebook or Twitter. If you really must use such sites, make sure you enable two factor authentication so that even if your password is hacked, the hacker still cannot log in to your account. You can read more about two factor authentication and the sites which offer it, here... http://lifehacker.com/5938565/heres-everywhere-you-should-enable-two-factor-authentication-right-now
HSBC's internet banking uses four factor authentication in both the Philippines and UK although the mechanisms differ slightly. In the UK, the bank issues customers with a credit card-size device that looks like a calculator which is used to generate a one-shot unique number but only after keying-in a PIN code. These devices are tied to a single customer so I can not use another customer's device to access my account.
2FA is all well and good, determined hackers will always find a way of defeating any security as you will see from the following Fastmail blog post: http://blog.fastmail.fm/2014/04/10/when-two-factor-authentication-is-not-enough/
I've used that little device quite a few times, makes you feel very confident that all is safe and secure regarding the transactions you perform through it.
I was going to reply to your post Rob but I don't know what asynchronous means and I can't pronounce it either
Ditto They both just seem like a girly thing to me, if you want to keep in touch with friends and so on then there are multiple forms of communications to choose from without using Facebook and Twitter.
I Joined FB in 2007 and deleted it 2014. the reason was that i was wasting to much time on FB. Im still on Twitter which i use only to check news and financial markets.
