Been playing Gears of War for three nights and have completed it, although the controls are a little more difficult than usual to begin with, it rocks and I high recommend it to anyone who hasn’t got it.

Pushed my XBOX Gamer Score over the 1000 mark

Finally after four solid evenings of game play I have completed Halo 3 in Legendary mode. Woo!

Dunno what I’m going to do this weekend now? Perhaps I’ll pluck up the courage to venture outdoors.

WTF? The fools closed my account, thanks a bunch! They could only afford to to rebuy so many or some bollocks. None the less I do like it, so I will open another one

Fortunately, I don’t believe I am the only one!

Here’s why; although when advertising on a Social Network its far easier to hit your target audience from a traditional marketing perspective of “We’re targeting women between the ages of 18 - 24 who currently study at University” as we’re selling/promoting perfume.

Advertising on Facebook is still Unsolicited Junk to the browser/visitor.

Search its a completely different ball game, the browser is actively out looking for your Product or Service. After all, a young girl doesn’t always buy perfume for herself. Search Engine adverts are anticipated and relevant. Facebook isn’t.

That isn’t to say Facebook isn’t helpful in building a brand and it will get converions, but it isn’t the be-all and end-all like every affiliate marketer is making out.

Ok so, I’m not sure how many of you are aware but Faceparty like to charge in order to view another persons `private` content. So, after looking at the urls and making some simple observations it became very obvisous to me that this was easy to break.

In this example I will be using “est2008″ user profile. Sorry est2008 However please bare in mind this won’t work in all circumstances. Ideally you need that user to have a non-private photo uploaded at the same time, anyhow you go to their picture gallery (http://www.faceparty.com/gallery/pics.aspx?pid=8487159&gid=0&gpos=0&adult=1#view).

Once your at this page go to one of the pictures your allowed to see:-
http://www.faceparty.com/gallery/view.aspx?pid=8487159&gid=0&gpos=0&iid=31750388&pos=5#view

Right click and grab the image url which is:
http://www.faceparty.com/pb/2157/images/est2008_31750388.jpg

You will notice after the “est2008″ there is an underscore then (as faceparty calls it) a iid (image identifier). So click the back button, open up another tab and past the image URL into it, press enter and load it by its self. Go back to the gallery hover over a “private” picture and grab the “iid” and simply replace it with the one of the private image.

So the point of this post? Few friends requested that I share the knowledge. Sorry to use est2008 as an example but I had to pick someone who would be pleasing to most peoples eyes right

Peace out

Since Mika’s album first came out (Life in a Cartoon Motion) on the 5th of February (2007) I completedly adored it.  When it was announced he was touring to Plymouth I immediately booked two tickets for Devon’s best SEO’s.

I can say that he exceeded our expectations - it was a truely a fantastic performance, his vocals are absolutely brilliant. Read the rest of this entry »

Good news for MySpacers as they have finally manage to prevent Bots from Spamming everyone, however I wouldn’t be at all supprised if this is only a temporary thing, after all where theres a will theres a way, right?

Still its nice not to be getting millions of comments per day. I do have to admit to having about five MySpace accounts linking back to this domain name, all with over 1,000 friends each. However I don’t see the need to Comment Spam, Message Spam or Bulletin Spam.

Well done Tom!
