Facebook Will Automatically Index All Your Information on Google?

Actually, Google will automatically index your Facebook profile so that people who search Google can find your Facebook.

All your information isn't indexed however because you would have decided what you want your people who aren't your friends to see. The same info that non-friends see is what Google indexes. Google would not index your phone number or email address if you've managed your settings correctly.

Of course if you don't want Google to index your profile,  the option to do something about this is in your hands.

All you need to do is adjust your privacy settings.

If you don't want Google to automatically index all your Facebook info, just log into your account and:

1. Go to Settings. 
2. Click on Privacy Settings or Manage Privacy
3. Click on Search
4. Uncheck "Allow indexing"

Furthermore Facebook has this to say:

Worried about privacy? Your information is safe.

There have been misleading rumors recently about Facebook indexing all your information on Google. This is not true. Facebook created public search listings in 2007 to enable people to search for your name and see a link to your Facebook profile.

Sony Cybershot DSC W220 Review

I bought a Sony Cybershot DSC W220 digital camera today. Its one of the light blue ones and I was sold on the fact that it was a 12.1 MP camera with 4x optical zoom. Most of the other ones only had 3x optical zoom. 


So far, since I've been playing with it, I think I really like its simplicity and all the features that it has. Here's a review of the Sony Cybershot DSC W220.

The Sony Cybershot DSC W220 is up against some pretty stiff competition. Panasonic, Olympus and Nikon all produce digital cameras that are in direct competition with the Cybershot DSC W220.

This camera is small enough to slip into most pockets. It is mid priced. The design is unfussy and has that typical rectangular look. Sony offers the camera in three different colours: black, silver and light blue.

When looking at the other cameras in this category Sony has added in a fair number of features for the price. These include face detection for better portrait shots and image stabilisation to help compensate for any movements of the camera caused by unsteady hands. The Cybershot DSC W220 is also one of the few small cameras to be able to accept a conversion lens and filters. A conversion lens can increase the length of the lens or increase the wide angle capabilities of the camera. Using filters can add different effects to your photos.

There are resolutions that allow you to take photos that are ideal for printing 6 x 4 inch snapshot photos or for making wide prints or playing back on a widescreen television. For close up work the Cybershot DSC W220 can focus from an impressive 4cm. As well as offering the standard movie modes you are also able to produce High Definition movie clips. This does not make the Cybershot DSC W220 a replacement for your camcorder, but it can come in handy from time to time.

One area that digital cameras struggle with is the dynamic range of a photo. This is how well the camera can bring out detail in the lighter and darker areas of a photograph, especially when there are high levels of contrast in a shot. To try and help the camera Sony has introduced a dynamic range enhancer that can be turned on and off. Other features include being able to boost colours with a vivid colour setting as well as being able to switch to black and white or sepia.

More advanced features include a burst mode that allows you to fire off up to 100 high speed shots. There are also three types of metering at your disposal (Multi Pattern, Centre weighted, Spot).

When it comes to picture quality one of my biggest concerns was that Sony has packed so many pixels onto such a small sensor that some areas of my pictures were prone to show pixilation. This is where pixels start to look jagged and if you blow the picture up to a large size you can start to make out groups of pixels. This can detract from the overall smoothness of a shot. You may find that picture quality actually improves when shooting at lower resolutions.

The 12 megapixels Sony has packed in can come in handy if you are thinking of cropping any photos before printing. Another advantage is that additional zoom becomes available when shooting at lower resolutions.
The 4x zoom lens is a little wider than most digital cameras offer. This helps you when taking wide scenes such as landscape shots.

Picture quality fell below what some direct competitors offer. As well as the pixilation I noticed purple fringing could become an issue. I could see purple lines added to the tops of trees for example or if I was taking close up shots of shiny objects. The sharpness of the pictures was also a little down on what I am used to seeing. In fairness these problems only really become an issue if you are planning to make larger prints. At snapshot size you are unlikely to really notice these imperfections.

Your Hip Hop Beat Creator Should Have These 3 Things.

Trying to make some beats for that new demo? Todays article points out 3 important must haves for choosing a beat creator. You could be the next respected hip hop producer like Dr. Dre or DJ Premier.

The production of hip hop beats has advanced tremendously since the old days. Especially with the quality hip hop beat creators out there. Today, it has never been easier to create quality hip hop beats. When your looking for a hip hop beat creator you must make sure it has certain characteristics.

First of all it should have quality midi drum patterns. Good rap beats have different drum patterns playing at the same time that compliment each other. Your beat creator should allow you to do the same. This feature will allow you to separate your beats from the other average ones.

Secondly, your beat creator has got to give you the ability to implement quality basslines into your beat. A rap beat without a strong bassline sounds dead. You have to put some life into your beats and using a basssline is the right way to do so.

Your beat creator should allow you to adjust and tweak your bassline because you want your bassline to sound just right. You don't want your bassline too strong or it will over power your song and you don't want it too weak or you won't even hear it.

Finally, your beat creating software should allow you to use many samples as your heart desires. Your beat maker should also allow you to use a remote storage bank to store as many samples as you need so your limit is endless.

So if you want to produce your next classic rap beat you have to make sure you have a good hip hop beat creator. Your beat maker should also have a few other features as well, but if it has these 3 things then you should have no problems making the best beats possible.

10 Tweets Review: Zombieland

This week's edition of 10 Tweets looks at the new comedy Zombieland which looks like fun because I like movies with zombies and Woody Harrelson. Was the movie actually fun though? Moviegoers on Twitter share their experience but first an overview.

Director: Ruben Fleischer
Starring: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin
Runtime: 80 mins.
MPAA Rating: R


Synopsis: Two men have found a way to survive a world overrun by zombies. Columbus is a big wuss -- but when you're afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee is an AK-totin', zombie-slayin' badass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth. As they join forces with Wichita and Little Rock, who have also found unique ways to survive the zombie mayhem, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies.

And now lets see what our Twitter moviegoers are saying:

Wow an overwhelming response to Zombieland! Everyone who saw it loved it. Zombieland gets a rating of 10 out of 10 - a first since we started reviewing movies like this. It was very hard to find anyone on Twitter who didn't like Zombieland. I'm definitely going to check it out and you should too.

And an awesome bonus tweet:
