Article about Coleen Rooney trades insult via Twitter

Coleen Rooney trades insults via Twitter AGAIN (So the Where's Wally-inspired outfit was a perfect choice)
Last updated at 12:06 PM on 1st June 2011


Coleen Rooney has let her emotions get the better of her again, becoming embroiled in yet another furious Twitter row.
The red mist descended when she saw comments that had been posted underneath a picture she'd shared of herself and footballer husband Wayne in a pub.
Snapping back at one user who said she looked orange in the photo, Mrs Rooney resorted to calling the woman a dog. 
Down the pub: The photo that Coleen Rooney posted on Twitter of herself and husband Wayne sparked a row
Twitter user Trickehvickeh had written: 'Look how orange yu are n how ugly ya rich cheating husband is!'

Mrs Rooney spat back: 'haha thanks for that laugh!!! Just seen ur profile pic!! Are u feeling ok cause ur face looks very pale to ur body!!! #dog'
And, as the story made headlines this morning, she had threatened to leave the social-networking site, posting a message saying: 'Another pointless twitter story hits the headlines!! #shouldIstayorshouldIgo?'
Fight back: The mother-of-one retaliated after a nasty Tweet
However Mrs Rooney's fans rallied round the star with messages like 'ignore the haters'.
Eight minutes later she told fans she would remain on the site, despite recent outbursts by both herself and her husband. 
She tweeted: 'Ok you convinced me to stay!! No one gets me down on this thing, people just make me laugh!!! Good morning x'

Earlier this month Rooney made headlines when he apparently threatened a Twitter user who posted an abusive message towards him. 
The follower tweeted: 'Rooney ya fat w***e ill smash ya head in with a pitchin wedge an bury ya with a ballast fork ya fat ugly lil n***e.'
To which the Manchester United striker replied: 'I will put u asleep within 10 seconds hope u turn up if u don't gonna tell everyone ur scared u little nit. I'll be waiting.'
But he was soon to backtrack later, posting a message to tell followers it was just a bit of banter. 
A source told the Daily Star that Mrs Rooney was fully aware of the very public nature of what she was saying on the social networking site.
They said: 'Coleen knows she shouldn't get drawn into arguments on Twitter. But at the same time, she shouldn't have to take abuse.
'She's no shrinking violet. She's just standing up for herself and Wayne.'
As revealed by the Mail yesterday, Mrs Rooney's emotions may be a bit bruised, hence her shorter temper on Twitter.
Richard Kay reports that she's been dropped from the next series of the X Factor as one of their regional reporters. 
Meanwhile she certainly showed she'd earned her stripes when she put on a red and white top to run some errands yesterday.
The WAG was out in Wilmslow, Cheshire, when she was seen with her Where's Wally style striped sweater with matching red deck shoes and blue jeans.  
All that appeared to be missing from the multi-millionaire TV presenter and magazine columnist was the matching red and white bobble hat.

Article about suicide on facebook

45-minute suicide countdown on Facebook

LAST WORDS: The thread of comments on Alviss' Facebook wall after his 'suicidal' status post
KUALA LUMPUR: “It was the first and the last time he said he loved me in 22 years of knowing him. And now, he’s gone,” sobbed air stewardess, Chelvin Kong, 28, recalling her last conversation with her brother.
He committed suicide in the wee hours of Wednesday last week. Stating she and her brother, Alviss, 22, had drifted apart since she moved to Brunei after getting married and joining the Royal Brunei Airlines some nine years ago, they still stayed in touch via Facebook.
"I would check his status updates on Facebook before going to bed and we would tease and exchange comments with each other," Chelvin told The Malay Mail.
She became concerned when she saw Alviss' status at 11.15pm on Tuesday, stating there was a 45-minute countdown to the end of his life.
“At first, I thought he was joking," said Chelvin. "What freaked me out was him asking me to take care of the family, especially my mum.”
Taken aback by Alviss' comments, Chelvin said: “Never once had he expressed such mushy words in all the years I had known him.”
Chelvin then tried to call her brother about 1.30am.
When she did not get a response, she contacted her father to check on Alviss. Her father told her Alviss was at his usual mamak spot near their apartment, having a drink with his friends.
Chelvin then persuaded her father to go to the mamak stall and call her from there.
“I spoke to Alviss when my father passed the phone to him. When I scolded him for not answering his handphone, his excuse was he had not heard it ringing. He told me the Facebook comments were just a joke and that he was pulling a prank on his friends.
”During the call, Chelvin said he assured her everything was fine and told her to go to sleep. Reassured, Chelvin called it a night. Thus, she was shocked to get a call from her father later at 3.30am telling her Alviss had jumped off the 14th floor of the apartment building.
“I heard a loud noise and when I looked down from the veranda. It was Alviss lying covered in blood on a car at the ground floor," he had told her.
It is learnt Alviss had been emotionally istressed over a recent breakup with his girlfriend.
Chelvin said she knew about her brother's relationship and learnt the couple had split from his Facebook relationship status update.
It is learnt Alviss and his ex-girlfriend were together for four months. Both had been blogging about the end of the relationship.
In a farewell note on his Facebook profile page, Alviss posted one last picture of himself tearing up. Alviss' father, a taxi driver, was disappointed at not being informed his son had been harbouring suicidal thoughts.
Declining to be named, the 60-year-old said he learnt only later that Alviss had confided to his friends about his heartbreak.
He felt they should have alerted a family member, whether or not it was a prank.
"I was there at the mamak stall with Alviss. His friends could have alerted me then about the comments and his conversations with them."
He denied barring the ex-girlfriend from visiting his son's body last Thursday.
“I'm not angry with his ex-girlfriend. She can come and pay her respects if she wants.”
Noting Alviss had introduced the woman as his girlfriend a few months back, he said: "Why didn't he think about his family as much as he did for a girl he only knew for four months?"
Meanwhile, Alviss' mother had yet to be informed of his death as she is reportedly emotionally weak and the family was waiting for the right time to break the news.
She is currently in Brunei to help care for Chelvin’s newborn daughter and is still under the impression the couple had rushed to KL on an urgent work matter.
Mutual friends of the ex-couple were seen outside the funeral parlour at Jirat Kwong Tong here on Friday night.
“We are all here to show support when his ex-girlfriend arrives. To us, no one is to be blamed here. We don’t want reporters to question her about anything," said one of the friends at the wake.
“Speculation from family, friends and the media stating his ex-girlfriend is the cause of the suicide should end. What has happened was just a breakup, common among youngsters these days," said another friend.

Challenges of Social Network

           
           As we know, social network is very important in our daily live. This thing can make many kind of job more easily and saving a lot of time. Nowadays, everything is doing by just one click like whole world is in your hand. We can get the information around the world very faster as soon as possible. Some examples of social network are facebook, twitter, friendster and many more. Thousand or even million and billion of website about social network we can find in the internet. In this modern world, social network is like normal good, everyone need to face it every day to completed their work. Even my family had used the facebook in our business in order to promote our goods.
            World now is getting risky and we all expose to danger of using IT because everyone now is growing in the 21th century that are very different from 20 or 30 years ago. If our parents send a letter by post when they were young, we now can send it by email that are very easy just by click. Although this thing is very efficient but they also have disadvantages or we can call it the challenges is social network.


            Firstly, cyber crime. There are some  individual who have bad intention to others. They want to take advantage from others without thinking the effect from his or her action. In Utusan Malaysia, stated that Cyber crime increased over 100 percent. A total of 8090 cases of cyber crimes reported in the country within two months of this year compared to 3064 cases during the past year.For example, an individual's Facebook posting which insulted the Sultan of Johor over the ruler's gift of vehicles to the Royal Malaysian Police and on other case, in which someone had impersonated the Tunku Mahkota of Johor, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, also through Facebook. We actually read this article in Malay Mail that has been written on Friday, October 15th, 2010. You can refer the article towards this link http://www.mmail.com.my/content/52430-johor-police-probes-facebook-posting-insulting-johor-sultan to get more information about this cases.
            Secondly, the challenges using social network is untrustworthy member. Many users submit inaccurate information on their profile. Without investigating who is their members and blindly trust them will lead users to danger. As reported in Harian Metro, for love and affection to a new lover who is known through chat rooms, a 37-year-old woman regret after losses more than RM30, 000 when the men were allegedly duped out of money. Without realizing her boyfriend wants to cheated her who is believed as Africans, she believe him and give him money. One more case is taken from Utusan Online, a women's from Sabah loss of RM1.2 million tricked Internet contacts.

            Another challenge of social networking is relationship with the people around became not friendly. This is because people using social network spend a lot of time in front of their computer such as chat, web cam, and read email. They do not spend their time with family and friends nearby such as conversation, greeting and visiting among neighborhoods. Users communicate with each other through the computer and not by face to face. So, it’s make them more difficult to be friend when they  meet each other one day soon because when we talk face to face, it is not same as we chat in the internet. It can make individual lack of self confident.
             Social network such as facebook, twitter, friendster and others is good for communication, but rather distract the students. Probably because of the benefits that can share files, add members and play some game. Now, if the students surfing internet, usually they will log in their social network accounts to reply messages , comment and post something. Using internet not wisely can distract the students and will have an impact on the performance of their education.

What is Social Networking?


   In Oxford dictionaries,social network is a network of social interactions and personal relationships.Social network also means a dedicated website or other application which enables users to communicate with each other by posting information, comments, messages, images, etc..    In our own point of view, social networking is the link or way for people to communicate, interact among each other to share some information or socialize. Social networking is an alternative for some people who are busy with their daily life.

        According to Wikipedia,the definition of social networking service is an online service, platform, or site that focuses on building and reflecting of social networks or social relations among people, e.g., who share interests and/or activities. A social network service essentially consists of a representation of each user (often a profile), his/her social links, and a variety of additional services. Most social network services are web based and provide means for users to interact over the internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging. Online community services are sometimes considered as a social network service, though in a broader sense, social network service usually means an individual-centered service whereas online community services are group-centered. Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, activities, events, and interests within their individual networks.
