Facebook Places location-aware service launches in UK
I agree, this should be an opt in option and not set as a default…
Facebook Places location-aware service launches in UK
Facebook has launched its location-based Places service in the UK.
It allows people to “check in” wherever they are and see who among their friends and other Facebook users is – or has been – at the same location.
“By default, users are opted in to the ability to be tagged by their friends, they are opted in to allowing their friends’ Facebook apps to access their location information, and they are opted in to allowing ‘non-friends’ checked-in to the same place to see their whereabouts.
“This is all backwards – this should be deployed on a purely opt-in basis and no information about my whereabouts should be posted without my explicit consent, every single time a post is made.”

If they used Amplify Groups this wouldn’t happen ;-o
They say true friends… ht @ Heidi Birr (wise owl)
“They say true friends can go long periods of time without speaking & never question their friendship. This type of friend picks up like they just spoke to you yesterday, regardless of how long it’s been, how far away they live & they don’t hold grudges. They understand that life’s busy and that you’ll always love them… Repost this if you’re blessed to have at least one friend like this.”

Feeling Tired? Here’s a good tip…
Thanks Rina, will post my feedback soon 
Rina Tripathi Try meditating , This always works: take a bucket half filled with warm water, put a fist ful of salt and dip your feet in it with a candle lit in front of you and incense, you can also close your eyes. five or ten minutes work wonders. Looks simple but is effective.

After today’s announcement by Google this cartoon seems to fit in rather well.
Love and Compassion = Inner tranquillity (via Dalai Lama)
Great wisdom (as always)…
Dalai Lama Experience has taught me that the greatest inner tranquility comes from developing love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warm-hearted feeling for others automatically puts our mind at ease. It helps remove our own fears and insecurities and gives us strength to face obstacles – it is the ultimate source of success in life.
Phil Collins & cooliris rock Facebook – awesomeness!

Innovative Blended Learning
I haven’t said it for a sometime so now seems an appropriate moment to say A BIG THANKS to all those following and commenting on my FB, Twitter, Amplify, Ning, LinkedIn, YouTube (and other networks). I’m still learning lots about social media & communities, daily in-fact and imagine it’s going to be a long journey, qui…te probably a never-ending learning journey.As each day passes I try to offer a better balance between re-posting interesting media you may like or find useful and the individual uniqueness of the personal reviews and articles.
If you have any suggestions or tips on how I can further improve, they would be most welcome – thanks again, all the best for now, Paul
