A Facebook fan page with over two million fans that contained critical comments of the Aquino administration was summarily taken down by Facebook recently, allegedly on the initiative of the President's staff. Meanwhile, the recently established official Aquino fan page has received a sudden and as yet unexplained infusion of fans, fueling suspicions that the closed Fanpage's fans were transferred without their consent. GMANews.TV even reported earlier this year that Aquino was the third most-liked politician on Facebook worldwide because of the large fan base of the BSA3 page. According to California-based computer professional, Ben Totanes, he and fellow online volunteer Betty Abrantes set up the BSA3 fan page (at the now-defunct URL http://www.facebook.com/noynoy.aquino ) in 2009 shortly after the demise of former president Cory Aquino. The page was initially meant to show support for the presidential bid of her son, Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, in the upcoming na

"I cannot lead you into battle, I do not give you laws, or administer justice. But there is something I can give you...I can give you my heart and my devotion, to these old Islands and our great brotherhood of nations" -HM Queen Elizabeth the Second. LONDON – Queen Elizabeth II is now on Facebook — but she's not going to be your friend. Britain's queen has launched a series of official pages offering the website's 500 million users daily updates on her engagements, the royal household said Sunday. The 84-year-old British monarch will be featured in videos, photos and news items on the site, which will be available starting Monday, alongside other members of the country's royal family, including Princes William and Harry. Users will be able leave messages or comments for Buckingham Palace on the site and find details of royal events close to their homes. However, because the pages will be corporate — and not a personal account — people won't be able to requ

The European Union (EU) is pushing to legalize peoples' individual right to delete all information about themselves online, the UK's   The Daily Telegraph   said   on Saturday. "Internet users must have effective control of what they put online and be able to correct, withdraw or delete it at will. What happens if you want to permanently delete your profile on a social networking site? Can this be done easily? The right to be forgotten is essential in today's digital world," EU rights commissioner Viviane Reding told the newspaper. Although various online services and social networking sites allow you to delete your profile, there is as yet no simple way to remove personal information that has spread through the Internet. This move by the EU sets a precedent for online companies, many of which —including Facebook and Google— are   already   embattled   in privacy and anti-trust issues. It remains to be seen if other countries will follow suit. The move by the EU s

NEW YORK – News organizations have unleashed a multimedia blizzard of widgets, apps, dashboards, Twitter tie-ins and iPad doohickeys for Tuesday's elections. More than ever, the online and mobile offerings aren't merely supplementary to Tuesday night's TV viewing, but can function as primary sources for following the election results. The 2008 presidential election, when Web traffic reached record levels, was something of a coming-out party for the Internet. The Web's encore came at the Inauguration, when streaming video had its most dramatic day up to that point. The 2010 midterm elections, as experienced online, aren't likely to provide the same technological turning point. But two years later, the Web-savvy coverage of Tuesday's election highlights the growing sophistication of interactive media, social media and mobile apps. Akamai Technologies Inc., which delivers about 20 percent of the world's Internet traffic, showed rising traffic on Tuesday afterno

This is just for information: Just received this information from my Google inbox and it is actually addressed to everyone in the U.S. who uses Gmail and as noted and quoted from the body of the letter " Just to be clear, this is not a settlement in which people who use Gmail can file to receive compensation. Everyone in the U.S. who uses Gmail is included in the settlement, unless you personally decide to opt out before December 6, 2010".  And here is the complete body of the e-mail: Google rarely contacts Gmail users via email, but we are making an exception to let you know that we've reached a settlement in a lawsuit regarding Google Buzz ( http://buzz.google.com ), a service we launched within Gmail in February of this year. Shortly after its launch, we heard from a number of people who were concerned about privacy. In addition, we were sued by a group of Buzz users and recently reached a settlement in this case. The settlement acknowledges that we quickly changed the

Controversial tweets made by an aide to President Benigno Aquino III during the latter's state visit to Vietnam is not likely to affect Philippine relations with the country, Malacañang insisted Saturday. Meanwhile, the Twitter account of the aide in question, assistant secretary Mai Mislang, appears to have been taken down amidst mounting criticism in cyberspace. “The sentiments of Mislang were her own and not the sentiment of the Philippines or of the president in general," deputy presidential spokeswoman Abigail Valte said on government-run dzRB radio. Mislang is part of the Philippine delegation accompanying Aquino to Vietnam. She reportedly sent out a personal tweet criticizing the wine being served at an official function. "(The) wine sucks," she reportedly tweeted while Aquino was being received by Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet at the Banquet Hall of the Government Guesthouse late Tuesday. She also reportedly posted other snide remarks: "Sorry pe

KATMANDU, Nepal – You can't get away from a cell phone call, even at the top of the world. Thanks to 3G towers newly installed near Mount Everest's base camp, explorers can surf the Web, tweet and post Facebook updates without worrying that their signals will disappear into thin air. The new high-speed service, announced Friday by Ncell, a subsidiary of Swedish telecom company TeliaSonera, will allow mountaineers setting off to the summit of the world's tallest mountain to access wireless Internet and make video calls to family, friends and supporters. "You know, I think it's kind of good and kind of bad, but to me it's kind of inevitable," said renowned climber Ed Viesturs, frequently described as the strongest U.S. high-altitude mountaineer. The 51-year-old veteran of seven climbs to Everest's 29,035-foot summit said the new technology is not for him. "I'm kind of old school," said Viesturs, who has climbed all 14 of the world's hig
