The State of Wikipedia

Had this in my draft for more than a week now, sharing it today. Another great video from JESS3 in the "State Of" series. This is on the State of Wikipedia and how we can improve it. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Wikipedia.

Banned from Facebook for 4 Days

The title might seem a bit exagerated, but here is a funny story. My friend(the one who is making the movie "The turning point", the trailer of which you can find in the post below) is so obsessed with his movie or i would say he is really over excited about it and want to share what he is making with everyone he meets. Its like he wants everyone in the world to know that he is making a movie. And to make his dreams come true, these days you get tools such as facebook. But facebook didnt turn up the way he would have liked it. Here is what happened.
After the trailer was made he sent friend requets to many random people whom he didnt know and also to some the local and national movie makers and actors. I dont know was it because of the mass random friend requets sent or the because someone reported his requests as spam, the next days he got a message from facebook that he had sent too many friend requests to the people he does not know and this has been treated as spam and "you are banned from sending or accepting friend requests for 4 days and if this process continues repeatedly, your account will be terminated", like forever.
Well, his dreams of over promoting his movie on facebook has been shattered. But its good to know that facebook has some policies that support privacy(kind of). Well the moral of the story is, never send random mass friend requets on facebook or you could be restricted from some of the options for 4 days.
Ok, that was the story of the month, have a great February.
