10 PRIVACY SETTINGS EVERY FACEBOOK USER SHOULD KNOW

I can’t tell you how many people are not aware of their friend lists. For those not aware of what friend lists are, Facebook describes them as a feature which allows “you to create private groupings of friends based on your personal preferences. For example, you can create a Friend List for your friends that meet for weekly book club meetings. You can create Friend Lists for all of your organizational needs, allowing you to quickly view friends by type and send messages to your lists.”
There are a few very important things to remember about friend lists:
You can add each friend to more than one friend group
Friend groups should be used like “tags” as used elsewhere around the web
Friend Lists can have specific privacy policies applied to them

?Sweet? starlet?s nasty side shows

PRETTY STARLET plays sweet martyrs onscreen. In real life, she is a venomous villain, according to Veteran Star.

VS witnessed how PS gave Sworn Enemies dagger looks during a gathering, in front of several people, including top executives.

PS is called “Loose Cannon” by colleagues. Loose Cannon has loose lips, too. We all know what loose lips do to ships.

War of TV execs

A silent war is simmering in the studio and Network Exec 1 is stressed. Rumor has it that Network Exec 2 is itching for heads to roll – including NE1’s.

NE1 complained to big bosses about NE2’s hate campaign. Problem is, NE2 had NE1 promoted right before the problem started. Was that a tactical move on NE2’s part? NE1 can’t claim that NE2 is unfair. Management 101!

Star wars redux

The whole of show town seems to be in a pugnacious mood: Claudine Barretto vs Angelica Panganiban. Annabelle Rama vs Angeli Pangilinan. Marian Rivera vs Bela Padilla. Now here’s Toni Gonzaga vs erstwhile friend Mariel Rodriguez.

At the press con for a new ABS-CBN show, “Kokei at Ako,” Toni stunned reporters by opening up about her falling out with Mariel. Toni didn’t give details, but didn’t hide her disappointment, either. She was too trusting, she complained: “I’m now more careful about getting too close to people I hardly know. I don’t want to get hurt anymore.”

Alyna’s anatomy

File this one under Anatomy of a Rumor: At the press con for her new ABS-CBN show “Alyna,” Shaina Magdayao had to address the wild rumor concerning her alleged hospital visit due to a bedroom mishap (discreetly called “vag lock” in a Net report).

She was “sad” that this “outrageous” rumor had spread like wildfire. She said the tattle tale might be traceable to an episode of “Grey’s Anatomy,” a US medical drama. “The rumor-mongers watch too much TV,” she said. “Why would John Lloyd (Cruz) and I go to a public hospital when we are celebrities?”

(Go ahead, girl— tell us.)

Dingdong’s defense

Dingdong Dantes rushed to defend girlfriend Marian Rivera, who is under fire for purportedly maltreating “Endless Love” co-star Bela Padilla. Marian is allegedly jealous, Bela being close to Dingdong.

Dong sent a lengthy text message to the press, which read in part: “I am saddened by the false accusations... which I feel are unfair and... totally blown out of proportion... I will be behind [Marian], beside her, and even in front of her, in fulfilling her dreams... Our relationship is at its strongest... From hereon, we will direct our attention to more important matters.” (We bet this is helping the ratings.)

Top of the tabloids

The top show biz stories in Inquirer tabloid Bandera last week. (And why we are moved, if we are moved.)

Dahil daw sa pagbabanta ni Claudine Barretto, Angelica Panganiban kumuha na ng bodyguard. (Derek’s not enough?)

Raymart Santiago, Claudine nagkakalabuan na? (Kami rin, nalalabuan, actually.)

KC Concepcion, Piolo Pascual grabeng maglandian? (Like BF-GF or BFFs?)

Bela Padilla na-trauma sa katarayan ni Marian Rivera. (Please just go ahead and go to court, girls.)

Marian tinalakan ni Claire de la Fuente. (Sayang!)

Marian kinampihan ni Rita Avila; idiniin si Bela. (Eto pa isa.)

Marian kaplastikan ang pakikipagbati kay Bela. (Puhleez.)

Kasalang Ogie Alcasid-Regine Velasquez may sabit? (Na naman? Everybody back to square one – secrecy and suspense!)

Nakaka-stress ang magpakasal ngayon! – Ogie (Ayan na...)

Edu Manzano, Pinky Webb nagpakasal na sa US? (Malalaki na sila.)

Sarah Geronimo ayaw lumipat sa TV5. (Not her call, is it?)

Sarah: Opo, kinikilig ako kina Sam Milby at Coco Martin! (Now, this is her call.)

Jolina Magdangal: Handa na akong mabuntis! (Totally her call – with a little help.)

Nagkalat ng Shaina Magdayao-John Lloyd Cruz sex scandal idedemanda! (Kahit kakampi nila?)

Sharon Cuneta: Mahirap maging mataba! (You bet.)

Dingdong Dantes nadamay sa kanegahan ni Marian. (Osmosis: It’s a law of nature.)

Another BPO firm expands RP presence

MANILA, Philippines--UST Global, a leading provider of end-to-end IT, BPO services and solutions, will expand its Philippine workforce by hiring 1,000 recruits. Over the next few years, UST expects to increase the number of its workers at the IT services and BPO center to over 5,000.

This reflects the growing demand for the company’s outsourcing services and strengthens the Philippines’ presence as UST’s second largest location outside the United States, following India.

“UST is grateful for the help and support from the government of the Philippines in establishing and expanding our presence here,” said Joe Nalkara, chief operating officer for UST Global. “The natural cultural compatibility with the US and time zone efficiency make the Philippines an important part of our growing Asian presence and long term global strategy.”

UST invested in the Philippines to take advantage of the country’s highly skilled IT workforce.http://ping.fm/Nn4Bo
