Some time ago the case of men appear to kill his wife because the wife change the status in Facebook to be single. This cases, at any time can appear only as a kind of Facebook networking site. So how should we minimize this things?

Some of the 'ethical' Facebook following may be useful for you.

1. Your relationship status is paired with the decision
Do not ever change your relationship status, if not based on an agreement between you and your partner. Many cases occur due to someone unilaterally change the status. Do not forget, your friends or your friends can check it quickly.

2. Make friends with the friend of Your  friend may have ethics.
When you want to be friends with your friend in Facebook, do not forget that the existence of your friend here as a 'relational'. Say from who you know their profile. You do not want to suspected as sales, right?

3. Do not flood your profile with photos, video, and comments related to the collapse of the relationship. This is likely to be inappropriate in Facebook. If you want to ask for sympathy, call your friend, do not ask the people in the virtual world, especially in Facebook that are accessed by many people.

4. Do not open secret in Facebook
Use any e-mail, phone or do while eating with your friends for example. Many other facilities isn’t? You certainly do not want your security talked by the person who is not responsible.

5. Identify the difference between the Wall and Message
A statement that  more personal in relationship should not need too expose. Sentences like "I luv u soo much .. I baaabyy Can not wait too see 2neit", may be more appropriate if it written in message.

6. Never Make Fake profile
May be, in your mind, you want to create a fake profile of your girlfriend who has hurt you. Then, you post bad things about. Of course, never really do this. If you are out of action, people were even able to give a negative stamp on you.

The idea is not to tell a lot of information about your personal information. You will never know what can happen to the future. Remember, even though the virtual world still full of fun and also risk of the bad people.

Over the last few weeks, I've been pre-occupied by an online debate over a crucial question, and its implications for online content and advertising: Is the Internet making us more stupid, or more intelligent?

On one side: Nicholas Carr. In an article for the Atlantic, Carr argued that "the Net... is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation". Because it encourages us to read shorter articles and flit between them via links, he says, our capacity for thought is becoming impaired. In support of Carr's view, writers are being taught to assume that readers have almost no attention span when reading on the Web.

On the other side: Scott Karp. Karp claims that our shift in reading behavior to shorter, hyperlinked articles on the Web is a more efficient way of gathering information, and that our mode of thinking may be changing for the better.

This debate has pre-occupied me because, after months of research and planning, we recently launched what we think is the best free financial news product on the Internet (Market Currents). And guess what? No coincidence: It consists of tiny bite-sized nuggets of information, with outbound links in almost every sentence. Perhaps we just contributed to the dumbing-down of humanity.

In pondering the question of whether the Internet is reducing our capacity for thought, I've come to the conclusion that the problem isn't what we read on the Web, but how we read on the Web. And this distinction provides the key to a question of huge economic importance to anyone involved in the Internet: Why aren't online ad rates higher? Let me explain.

Carr and Karp focus on the brevity of most articles on the 'Net and the existence of hyperlinks between them. For Carr, constant reading of short articles shrinks our attention spans, entailing the loss of our ability to read books and longer articles. For Karp, shorter, hyperlinked articles are a more efficient way of finding information, so he views them as an advantage, not a threat.

The real concentration problem

But as I examine my own online reading behavior, I find that my inability to focus isn't due to the length of Web articles, but how I'm reading them. Four factors reduce my concentration when reading articles on the Web:

1. When I'm reading an article on the Web, I often shouldn't be. A frequent scenario: I'm reading and responding to emails, and one of them contains a link to an article. So I click on it, and quickly skim the article. But really I intended to spend this time responding to emails, not reading articles. Another scenario: I'm working on something, but take frequent and short breaks to check the news. In both cases, I haven't intentionally allotted time to reading an article on the Web; I've been distracted into reading an article on the web. Contrast that with reading a newspaper: when I read a newspaper, I've consciously decided to allot time to that, so my concentration level is far higher.

2. When I'm reading an article on the Web, I'm often distracted by other activities. Once I do decide to read an article on the Web, I'm constantly distracted. Reading anything on a PC is hard, because PCs make it so easy to flit between tasks with a single click. Email, again, is the worst culprit: somehow its real time nature lures me into checking email frequently even when I'm doing something else. I let myself be pulled into answering emails as they enter my inbox, whatever else I'm doing.

3. Hyperlinks within articles themselves can be a distraction. Often I'll click a hyperlink to check it out, and that pulls me away from the article I'm reading. Prof. Michael Jackson says that hyperlinks are turning us into a race of mental grasshoppers. "Links help you to pick your own path through a complex mass of information," he says , "but they also distract you, tempt you into pointless digression, and break the coherence of your thought."

4. Reading is harder on a screen. I remember reading an article by Jacob Nielsen in which he estimated that it's 25% harder to read an article on a PC monitor than on a sheet of paper. (If you know the source, please leave a link below.)

The core problem, then, isn't that short articles are cutting my attention span, but that when I read articles on the Web my concentration is weak to start with. Put differently, when I read an article on the Web, I don't have strong enough intention and focus to do what I'm doing.

Do Bloggers have A.D.D.?

If correct, this analysis explains an unusual phenomenon we've seen at Seeking Alpha: Blogger A.D.D. Some background: each quarter, U.S. public companies issue their financial results and do a conference call with analysts to discuss their results. These calls are packed with valuable information about companies and industries. But the calls are hard to listen to -- they last an hour and often overlapy with each other. So professional investors read transcripts instead of listening to the calls themselves. We decided to make these transcripts available to everyone by publishing them for free every quarter, with powerful search tools.

But remarkably, bloggers, who are arguably the most Web savvy Internet users, hardly ever read the transcripts or link to them. Bloggers are writing regular commentary on Google, Apple, the newspaper industry and alternative energy, but are ignoring unquestionably the best source of information on these topics, which is now available for free. Moreover, the transcripts contain not only the best information about companies and industries, but also a ton of great quotes. The problem is that they're over 10 pages long (though you can view them on Seeking Alpha in a single page.) In contrast, Seeking Alpha's regular readers -- investors, who perhaps have longer attention spans as they research stocks -- are consuming over a million page views of transcripts in a typical month.

My guess is that bloggers, at the forefront of Internet usage, have lost the level of concentration required to skim a long document. How else to explain the fact that this earnings season, tens of bloggers will write about Google and Apple's results, but not one of them will read the transcripts of those companies' conference calls to find out what's really going on in their businesses?

Why banner ad prices are so cheap

Weak concentration when reading Web content also explains why the value of online banner ads is far lower than it could be. In theory, online ads should command higher rates due to three advantages they have over print or TV ads. First, online ads are usually contextually or behaviorally relevant. Second, they're clickable, so you can quickly execute a transaction or find more information about the advertiser. And third, their impact is measurable.

But the reality is that most online ads command far lower rates than print ads. Why? Because readers of online content are only "half there"; they often haven't intentionally allotted time and mental space to think and ponder when reading online. So they don't adequately consider ads, even when the ads are contextually relevant to what they're reading. In contrast, when I personally read a newspaper, I'm "fully there", and when I pause to think about an article, my eyes meander to the ads next to the article which I consider with more concentration than online ads.

Google's dominance of the online ad market

This also explains why Google (GOOG) dominates the online ad market. When I'm searching online, I'm doing something that requires intention -- I have to type in a search phrase, rather than just click a link. I'm interested in results related to my search, even if they are ads. In other words, I usually have far stronger intentionality when searching than when reading an article. As a result, Google's search ads have better performance than most banner ads. Combine that with the frequency with which Web users perform searches, and it's clear why Goolge dominates the online ad market.

Google's dominance of the online ad market will change if ads displayed next to content perform better. For that to happen, we need to stop ourselves becoming "mental grasshoppers".

How will we achieve that? The Internet and mobile devices have both given us great tools for instantaneous connectivity. Now we need to develop better tools to combat unimportant interruptions, and provide better prioritization and time management. Top of my list: stop using email as a de facto time manager, because what arrived most recently isn't necessarily the most important claim on your attention. Constantly checking email disrupts concentration on other, more important tasks.

If we can spend more time doing what we really intend to do when we intend to do it, the Internet will enhance our knowledge processing and analysis rather than curb it. Online disply ad rates will then rocket, to the benefit of publishers like the New York Times (NYT), Time Warner (TWX), News Corp (NWS), Pearson's FT.com (PSO), Yahoo! (YHOO) and TheStreet.com (TSCM). And Google's share of the overall ad market will decline.

Okay, I know you’re eager to dive into Step 1, but I’m going to ask you to be patient for just a few more minutes. I need to introduce you to the technique that is going to get you what you want.

This “trick” is an indispensable part of the process.

What I just did above was create what I call a Metastory. You start with a relevant but not 100% great experience that you’ve actually had. Then you consciously modify it into a “perfect” picture, an imaginary experience that you use to show your unconscious what you want. That’s a Metastory.

Let me walk you through what I mean:

Think of a time in your life where you received money.
Got the image?

Now, was the experience 100% perfect for you? Did anything happen around it that you might call negative?
Good. (Yes, I said good. Anything you recalled will be useful material. It’s all good.)

Now take that experience and rewrite it so the negative isn’t there anymore. As I did with my own experience earlier, I rewrote it into what I call a Metastory—a perfect version of what really happened.

Since your unconscious cannot tell the difference between a real or imagined event, it will record what you just wrote as real. After all, what does it know? It makes you squirm or scream at a movie, where you know nothing is “really” happening! It makes you wake up in a cold sweat because of a disturbing dream—which wasn’t “real”!

Metastories are a fun and powerful way to rewrite your past and give your mind new instructions. Your mind now has a pleasant memory surrounding money. When you prioritize a Metastory, you turn it into a Target that your unconscious will attempt to home in on. (But we’ll get to that later.)

In the example I gave you of modifying my original memory into a “10” Metastory, I was automatically harmonizing the four parts of my conscious and unconscious minds. By doing this, I was turning the energy of conflict into productive unconscious cooperation that clearly and effectively targeted what I consciously wanted to achieve.

In short, I got all my ducks in a row.
This will all become clearer in a few moments…

Name something you want.

It can be a weight-loss goal, a money goal, a sales quota, a new house, a relationship, etc. It's entirely up to you. Since this blog is about freelancing and money, think about your money goals. How much more money are you seeking, anyway? A hundred dollars? Thousands? A million?

Now let me ask you a blunt question:

Why don't you have it yet?
Why don't you have the thinner body, or more money, or whatever it is you said you
wanted?
Well?

Now let me tell you something shocking:

The fault isn't with the economy, your parents, your spouse, your neighbors, your mayor, the president or anyone or anything outside of you.

There is only one answer to my question of, "Why don't you have it yet?"

And I'll tell you what it is in a minute.

Have you ever wondered why so many people have so much trouble getting what they truly want?
Have you considered that there could be an easier way through life?
Have you ever felt that life was just too much of a struggle?
Most of us have, at one time or another, just felt that life was a royal pain. But the liberating truth is this—life doesn't have to be that way.

What's the secret to making life a joy?
What's the secret to creating more money now?
And what's the answer to why you haven't achieved your goals yet?

It's in your own mind.
No, not in your thoughts. Not in your conscious mind. The roadblock is deeper. It's where you rarely look. It's in your un-conscious.

In short, if there is something you are trying to achieve—you name it—and you aren't achieving it, chances are your unconscious holds some contradictory intentions for you. Said another way, you want something and it doesn't. If you are typical, you are constantly giving yourself contradictory instructions—like “I want to lose weight” and “I want that luscious piece of pie.”

Notice anything odd about them?
Those statements are going in different directions. After years of such frustrating and contradictory messages, your unconscious gives up and starts to disregard what you consciously want. In other words, you canceled out your own request. You said, "I want money," but right after that you said (or thought), "I don't deserve it" or "Money never comes to me" or some other similar limiting belief.

As a result, you usually didn’t get what you said you wanted!
But I have good news for you.

All that is about to end. You’re about to learn two simple three-step processes that will put an end to the mental self-sabotage that has been holding you back. Now you’ll finally be able to show your unconscious mind exactly how to let you achieve what you consciously want.

I said “simple,” but that doesn’t mean “easy.” It won’t happen automatically, just by holding these pages in your hand or thinking beautiful thoughts. There’s no magic or hocus-pocus. But there is a method. And it can be called magical.

You will have to read, understand, and use the ideas in this book. However, just think of all the time and energy you’ve already spent on activities that didn’t work. And now think of all the time and energy you’ll free up in the future by knowing how to work at maximum efficiency!

Relax. You're about to learn how to make all your dreams come true—finally!
