Free McDonalds Voucher Facebook Scam – Today, I received many invitation in Facebook asking me to invite friends to the page in return that I will get McDonald’s voucher. The value of voucher depends on the number of invite I’ve sent. So, I want to share with you guys that it’s actually a scam and don’t waste your time on it. Although you won’t lose anything, but you will waste your time asking your friend to visit that page.

If you follow the instruction and hoping to get some McDonald’s voucher, you will end up on a survey site which is useless. Don’t fall for the scam and good luck.

Instead of intro Twitter about telling what people you are doing, Twitter is more about what’s happening with people and organizations.

Flickr & Wikipedia Anti-SOPA – SOPA (The Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (The Protect IP Act) are currently the two baddass-es in the Internet world. U.S. anti-piracy legislation is planning to bill the SOPA and PIPA which will blocked and censored many websites on the Internet.

This could be bad if the bill is passed because you will not be able to access many website on the Internet that provides free information. Internet is supposed to be free and open to everyone. They can’t just block people from accessing free material. It’s just so wrong. Wikipedia English site has blacked out for a day to raise awareness on this. Many people are making a buzz on the Internet for not able to access Wikipedia.

My Flickr account has blacken out too, but I can choose not to black out my photo.

Facebook Chat On Windows With Messenger for Windows – Are you a frequent user of the Facebook Chat? Now you don’t have to turn on your browser, go to Facebook.com to chat with you friend. You can download the Facebook’s Messenger for Windows, which is a standalone app that you can install on your Windows system and chat with your friends.

The Messenger for Windows includes the chat system, notification system and friend request, it’s just like Facebook ported into an application. UI doesn’t change a bit from the Facebook, so nothing to fancy much about it. It also has pop-up notification to show your Facebook activity like who like or post on your wall, status, photos and more.

One more thing, I find the UI quite boring, despite having a standalone app, it should somehow has a different standalone design.

You can download it now for free on Facebook. Check out the help centre for more details.

Lower Monthy Mobile Internet Plan By Maxis – The reason I went to DiGi last time is because DiGi has cheaper data plan at RM68/month for 3GB data. Now I can consider switching back to Maxis because their 3GB data plan has reduced price from RM88 to RM68. Maxis has just revised their Mobile Internet Package, all at a lower rate.

Good news for Maxis user, however you will still get extra charges when you excess your allowed quota at RM0.30/MB compare to previously RM10/MB, which is a lot cheaper now. Somehow, I think Maxis should cap speed instead of charging extra for excess usage. Anyway, considering Maxis has a wide 3G coverage, the revised Mobile Internet Plan is worthwhile.

Head over to Maxis website to check out more about it.
