BBC announce that they will be launching a facebook style social site for children. The target market group is children between 6 years old to 12 years old.

Backlash from the public is that publicly-funded BBC should concentrate on making programmes and not making web sites.

BBC replied that the social networking site is to encourage children to talk about their shows and at the same time, improve the kid’s internet skills.

Whats next? Youtube for children? Google for ladies only?

To me, MySQL been a awesome database system. Some say the most popular database in the Open Source Community. In cases some of you don’t know, Wordpress is using MySQL as the default database to store your blog contents and facebook uses it as well. The acquisition is said to approximately $1 billion and will strengthen Sun in the online Web database portfilo.

I am neither happy nor sad. This happens when a company like MySQL proves to be successful to attract attention of the big boys. I hope that SUN will provide the same open source spirit that make MySQL so successful and well love by developers.

Another new software for Facebook. Instant Messenger. The selling point is as long as your friends has Facebook account, they can chat with you using this IM. Very useful for hardcore Facebook lovers.
