The tree, which sits in their Sydney office, is being streamed live. The more ‘Merry Christmas’ is tweeted, the more the tree flickers. Ho, ho, ho, and all that.

If there was a statement that sums up the Facebook revolution for a lot of people, FACEBOOK RUINED MY LIFE would be it.

And it all comes with a bouncy musical backing and some rather interesting sound effects. Read more

Please Rob Me seeks to prove the point that all our various Web 2.0 activities can leave us vulnerable to those with nefarious intent. Linking posts, updates, and tweets, the site generates a list of empty houses that can be used by potential burglars.
