Anonymous after Facebook, again ?

 Here it is, several months later after the story of the hacker group Anonymous hacking, or blocking facebook going viral, and I am once again starting to see stories arise out of the internet, of the grop going after facebook again. I do not even remember, back in the beginning of Nov 2011, if they were ever succesful in blocking or hacking facebook. Anyone remember the outcome of that story ?
 You have to wonder, for what reason would the hacker group go after Facebook in the first place, when it is comprised of the so called 1% in the first place, and are the main users, what purpose it would serve. If the group Anonymous (capitalized out of fear) really wanted to make a difference, maybe it could hack the Facebook servers, and give everyone free access to the paid services, instead of ultimately hurting the very people it is trying to protect. Yes, Facebook does sell your information to data mining services, that is how it generates revenue. Most people at this point know that going in though. So how would you expect an entity as big as Facebook to pay for all the services, that are free for us to use. Remember, it is a FREE service after all. I dont think that I am SO important, that i really have to worry about terrorists, the Government (same thing, depending on your angle) or hackers to find my information so important, that they are clammering over one another to get to my poor credit rating in the first place.
 Now if they were to take my pics and crop nude bodies to my head, that would be something else.

FaceBook and GooglePlus

it's funny, up until just a week or so ago, i was extremely happy with the way FaceBook worked. Sure, there were litle pet peeves, but overall it was a good experience.
Now, for some unknown reason, facebook has decided to change almost its entire layout, adding unwanted features, and making things different, once again. why do they have to mess with a working format ? Remember the old saying "if it aint broke, dont fix it". Apparently somewhere along the line facebook missed that post.
As a result of facebooks current changes, I find myself looking more at GooglePlus. I dont like the layout of GP jut yet, find it a little confusing, and yet i keep trying to like it. is it because I am fed up with FB, or just wanting to try something new.
The other thing I have to consider, is that lately I have been delving into the Affiliate Marketing arena, and Social networking is a big part of that. As I drive more people to this site (Thank you, BTW), I become more visible on the internet. As i become more visible, I start generating revenue. This has been an uphill struggle, but i am slowly getting out there.
I guess, i am going to just wait it out, and stomp my feet and whine, until I cant stand FaceBook anymore. I hear their are even more changes on the way, which i dont like the sounds of. In the meantime, I will familiarize myself with GooglePlus, and keep on plugging away. Thanks for readin, Theron
