I am sad to inform you that Facebook came before Twitter.
Also, Facebook has private chat, Twitter doesn't.

Welp, that's disappointing.I am sad to inform you that Facebook came before Twitter.
Most Facebook games I've seen are pretty much like Spiral Knights, except slightly worse: In Spiral Knights you can continue to play so long as you have enough Crowns (the game's currency) to buy Crystal Energy. In most Facebook games -correct me if I'm wrong- you gotta use your money to buy more lives/stamina.Iceman404 said:and lol, "shitty" games.

I hope that ACTA is taken down. I'm sick of stupid policys that want to control the Internet.The ACTA can't win.
The european parliament can't acept that law.
EDIT: I've actually made my mii look depressed in response. Just so you know
...that's like protesting by making your generic sonic recolor fancharacter (if you have one) frown instead of smile.
Seriously, it just sounds pointless.
Speaking of website takedown, Megaupload - one of the world's largest file-sharing sites has been shut down.
Imagine SOPA passing and website shutdown being a common occurrence.
The world is witnessing the largest offline protest against copyright legislation today. Massive demonstrations against the draconian anti-piracy treaty ACTA are spanning four continents, with protests in more than 200 European cities alone. Hundreds of thousands of people are taking to the streets to prevent their countries and the European Parliament from putting the free Internet at risk by ratifying ACTA,
Last month the European Union officially signed the controversial “anti-piracy” trade agreement ACTA.
The EU followed in the footsteps of Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore and the United States, who already signed it last October. This brings ACTA a step closer to passing, but individual EU member states and the European Parliament still have to ratify the treaty later this year.
To prevent this from happening, hundreds of thousands of people across the world are taking to the streets today, and millions more are expected to do their part online. In Europe demonstrations are being held in more than 200 cities, the largest in Sofia, Bulgaria, with more than 50,000 participants.
These staggering numbers amount to the greatest offline protest against any type of copyright legislation, ever.
https://torrentfreak.com/massive-street-protests-wage-war-on-acta-anti-piracy-treaty-120211/Although ACTA has been discussed for four years already, it is only recently that the public got involved on such a broad scale. In part, the increased attention for ACTA has been sparked by the historic SOPA/PIPA protest last month, where Wikipedia, Reddit and many others blacked out their websites.
Thus far the anti-ACTA protests, which started in Poland a few weeks ago, haven’t been without result.
Several countries that were intended to ratify the treaty, have put their decision on hold. Poland was the first to cave in, followed by Slovakia, Czech Republic, Latvia, and yesterday Europe’s largest economy Germany backpedaled as well.
Within the European Parliament, whose members will vote on the ratification ACTA later this year, there is also a healthy resistance. In a guest article for TorrentFreak, parliament member Marietje Schaake urged fellow politicians to not let copyright law repress innovation.
“ACTA must not be passed. Let’s focus on reform to allow for the opportunities of the internet to bloom, instead of allowing outdated business models to limit the free market, and to criminalize audiences,” she wrote.
Today’s demonstrations (videos) show that there’s a massive opposition against ACTA, and that hundreds of thousands of people are willing to take to the streets to defend a free and open Internet.
Those who want to take action against ACTA but can’t join one of the demonstrations, can write their representatives through the Kill ACTA site.
Well, I think it's time I put my two-cents in.
I, myself, am born in, as well as native to, Canada. The thing is, I've found out that ACTA has already been in effect over Canada for the past few months, as well as multiple other countries as well.
Of course, I commonly use the internet, just like many of you. I've never been called up by any sort of government agency saying that I'm fined for doing something over the internet or anything. I haven't been put in jail or blacklisted from anywhere or any website. Everything felt perfectly normal. I uploaded a wad to play with friends that I made to a website (It's private,please don't ask.. yet.) And nothing has happened to me. I'm fine, I'm playing SRB2, I'm making wads, chatting with friends, just like anyone would normally do!
So.. Something inside me is saying that ACTA is quite a bit over-exaggerated. But I don't know for sure. It's why I decided to share my piece of the pie and see what you all think of it.
Uploading a WAD isn't piracy...
You'll know when ACTA takes hold, sites will be forcibly blocked.
But please tell me.. What kind of sites will be blocked?
Just for reference, I'm not for or against SOPA right now. But what I've heard from others, it sounds controlling.
