Facebook has rolled out a new feature to selected accounts which enables them to delete or deactivate their accounts, for whatever reason. Previously, users would have to search through the FAQ to do so, and it would require two weeks for the account to be deleted.

Now, for the small pool of accounts, but will eventually be available on all accounts of 500 million users and counting, this deactivate or delete account button will be accessible under Account Settings tab.

This is going to be good for people who would like to cancel their account, perhaps they feel that the security has been compromised or something or for people who have grown tired of social networking.

If you use Facebook, do you already have this button available to you? Are you planning to use it at all?

Here’s good news for anyone who is planning to set up a website or those who are not happy with their current web host and looking for a change. Robson Communications Inc. is giving away 1 Year Free Website Hosting with no strings attached and no commitment. This means that if you are not happy, you can move on.

The good thing about this freebie offer is that Robson will even help you to migrate your site from your current host without any charge! I know that the process was what put me off moving to a new hosting provider last time but Robson will be taking care of it so no worries.

To enjoy this freebie, use the promotional code VHP25589. Be quick though, as it expires on 30th September, 2010.

Miley Cyrus, has made a public statement to children to avoid Facebook after learning about a 13-year-old girl who was kidnapped by a man who used the social networking website to gain access to her information.

While I think that it’s great that Miley Cyrus is so outspoken about the case, if not mistaken, Facebook has an age requirement for registration and kids as young as 13 is definitely not allowed to register.

Parents are to be blamed for allowing their kids free hand on the information super highway. How could one ignore the internet? It’s the best thing that happened on earth, me thinks, but like everything in life, there are always people who would misuse a god thing.

Avoiding something is not the solution. Being educated about it is.

Facebook has set up a Safety Page on its own social network site to educate people on internet safety. The page will highlight news and initiatives by Facebook on keeping data of users safe online in general and on the social network website in particular.

In a blog post, Joe Sullivan of Facebook mentions that online data security is a shared responsibility and that we should all help each other to stay safe, with the initiatives introduced by Facebook.

I think that if Facebook do not always mess around with our privacy settings without prior notice, or even with notice, they shouldn’t just simply revert our settings to default, wasting our time making changes yet again, then we should be safe! So this Safety Page isn’t even necessary in the first place!

The founder of Zynga, a social gaming company, fresh off another round of funding, has stated that he aims to bring the company to the next level, on par with Google in the games department of the web.

While this is not impossible, many of us who have been playing games on Facebook and other social gaming networks, are getting bored with the “never-ending” games. Zynga, of course, keeps adding new features to the games, new challenges and stuff. Although I still play a handful of Zynga games like Mafia Wars and Treasure Isle on a daily basis, a lot of my friends have stopped and moved on to other games, or even other things outside of the online world.

The reason I like playing some primarily text based games like Mafia Wars is because I like games that don’t take a lifetime to load. However, glitches in the games, if you play on Facebook, you would encounter lots of glitches now and then on these still in Beta games, and that would cause us to lose interest fairly quickly.

How long would it take Zynga to rule the online gaming world? It took Facebook 4.5 years to garner a user base of 100 million while it only took Zynga 2.5 years, though we must remember that both these figures are inflated due to duplicated accounts.
