Hello, long time no post. Mid Semester Exams really took my whole time. But now i am back again. I hope there is someone missed me up :-) Well, let’s get into discussion.

My FaceBook inbox was recently got 10 Groups invitation with the same title, “Ubah Tampilan FaceBookmu dalam 3 Menit” or in English means “Change Your FaceBook Layout within 3 Minutes”.

When i received the first invitation, i was a bit surprised. In my opinion, FaceBook does not allow users to change the layout for some reason. I was little curious about it, so i read the group description. In that description what can i conclude about the requirement are:

  1. Invite your friend to that group (it is as usual)
  2. Install Yonoo Mozilla plugin and activate it
  3. Start editting
  4. Do not forget to install Yonoo every time using FaceBook

With those steps, it is clearly explained that FaceBook Layout will be changed virtually. It means people who can see the “different layout” is only people who have installed Yonoo plugin on their browser. In other words, it’s just a client-side-layout, the layout on FaceBook server does not change at all.

The purpose of this Yonoo plugin can be included into scam because they use this opportunity to earn from their adware and spyware on the footer of browser. They also make people send invitation about their fake service.

All i want to tell here is, do not repeat my mistake ! :-P

    I similarly got an invite to join a Facebook group relating to the “Dislike” button. Apparently if you joined, you were able to find out how to get one. I didn’t join, and I haven’t seen any of my friends with a “Dislike” button.

    they said the dislike button will be added when the group has more than 100.000 followers
