STOP SEX TRAFFICKING OF CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE
Human trafficking is the third largest and fastest growing criminal industry in the world. 1.8 million children are exploited in the global commercial sex trade though this figure is thought to be much higher due to the underground dealings of the traffickers. Reports show that sexual exploitation is the most likely purpose of trafficking. Trafficking exists in countries all over the world. It doesn’t only exist in the poorest countries. Your signature really can make a difference. Sign the petition.

Do the right thing. Get on board. Stop child abuse!

Play your part to stop climate change! Start planning for your event and join the Global Work Party!
It’s been a tough year: in North America, oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico; in Asia some of the highest temperatures ever recorded; in the Arctic, the fastest melting of sea ice ever seen; in Latin America, record rainfalls washing away whole mountainsides.
So we’re having a party. We’re calling it a Global Work Party, with emphasis on both 'work' and 'party'. In Auckland, New Zealand, they’re having a giant bike fix-up day, to get every bicycle in the city back on the road. In the Maldives, they’re putting up solar panels on the President’s office.
How about Malaysia? Circle 10/10/10 on your calendar. That’s the date. The place is wherever you live. And the point is to do something that will help deal with global warming in your city or community. Support this campaign and start planning for your event now!

Anti-Facebook?
It's kinda shocked to hear about Anti-Facebook?? since Facebook is kinda recent trend among internet users nowadays. Well, at least I am shocked. Facebook is rated as the most used social network with more than 500 million active users from all around the world. Of course there are the Facebook competitors such as MySpace, Friendster, Hi-5; but they are all in the same business focus that is to attract internet users to use their social network by providing many interesting features, games, applications and ways of communication. Then, suddenly here comes the Facebook haters coming out of no where, calling and collecting people to shut their Facebook account. So pathetic, they have to sign-up with Facebook themselves in order to do that.
Diaspora
Diaspora meanwhile, is said to be the new Facebook rival which will release on 15 September. Diaspora is an open-source alternative for Facebook, Twitter and other social networks where users may download the software and install in their own website. Otherwise, use the one-click sign-up version which it's availability in Diaspora is still unknown. From what I understand, it means users can create and control their own social network. I'm not sure, but the features sounds familiar to me. Isn't it similar to services provided by Ning or Buddypress?
However, if Diaspora really wish to challenge the fast growing Facebook, they really have a long way to go.
