What Facebook does with your deleted photos

Remember my Facebook Horror Story? Today I read an article on Yahoo Tech where Christopher Null explains how the photos you delete from your online pages don't get deleted. Of course if you are one of my beloved readers that's not news to you.

I've actually reused my deleted Facebook profile picture. What happened is I wanted to add many new friends and I wanted them to recognize me when they received my invite. Guess what I did? Since I didn't have a photo with me I simply went on my deleted facebook photo's address, downloaded it and uploaded it to Facebook again. If you read the Yahoo tech article you'll notice that the author claims the sites would keep your deleted content only for a few days or weeks, in my case the photo was still available at the old address after a few months. Keep in mind that this was a photo that should not have been public in the first place.

Happy Valentine's Day

Today is July 14. I would like to wish you all a Happy Valentine's day. It's a belated wish for those of you who are many hours ahead of me. Here in Haiti it's still time to wish the ones you love a Happy Valentine's day. I hope you made someone smile today and that you did take the time to remind the people who love you how much you love them too.

Needless to say that you don't have to wait for a special day like Valentine's day to tell the people you love how much they mean to you. Even if you don't buy chocolate or special gifts there are many ways you can express you love.

Now a few words of wisdom from the good book, from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
