One Facebook, Two Faces: A Piece by a Virtually Dead Man
Posted by umair in Social Media on May 23, 2010
Guest post by: Saad Mustafa Warraich – Pakistan
I had been banned from Facebook and my account had been disabled a night before Facebook was banned in Pakistan. Before all this happened, I visited the blasphemous page “Draw Muhammad Day” and the content on the page hurt me badly. Once again a certain group of westerners called it the “freedom of expression” and went on to show extremism – something they always verbally disassociate themselves from. As a response to this lunacy, I thought it best to find out how they respond to others’ right of freedom of expression – I created an Adolf Hitler page right away and it read, “To all those who think they can ridicule Islam in the name of freedom of expression and yet punish those who speak of the genius of Hitler”. The comment on the wall read, “Let’s hit them where it hurts them the most”. Further I added some photos of the Fuhrer, Nazi Party and the Italian Footballer Paolo Di Canio who was banned and fined by FIFA two years ago for performing the “controversial” Roman Salute which according to him gave him a sense of belonging to his people. Within an hour tens of people joined the Hitler page which was named “H | T L E R”. The very next time I tried to log in I found out that my profile had been disabled for ‘violation of Facebook Regulations’.

Fly By – Pakistani game on Facebook seeks your attention.
Posted by umair in Pakistan, Social Media on February 22, 2010
Long gone are the days when getting marketing momentum and getting people to know about your product was a pain difficult to subside. Today with the power of blogs and social media websites nothing is impossible. Codeweek a website from Pakistan concentrating on Tech and Software industry noted the first Pakistani flash based game for social networks and Facebook. People have been signing on with speed and i think we as Pakistanis need to join it, play it and share it with friends so that Web Sketchers the Pakistani Developers feel supported and go on doing the good work, promoting Pakistan and its software industry as a learned one.

One of the things that worries most of the people are the security and privacy issues about having their pictures or videos on another site like YouTube,Facebook,or Flicker where they are reliant on another company for their content and if they go away, or change their terms of service all is lost and with the company no matter what happens.
