Facebook DataMine: Sell your browsing data, make some cash.


There’s a new Chrome Extension that is allowing Facebook users to opt out of the Facebook data-mining. The extension is called Facebook DataMine, developed by Jim Haas, a Game Maker at MegaEpic.  Facbook DataMine allows my data to be mined (great pun with the name Jim).


If you need a refresher on what data-mining means, here the definition from the Facebook Data Mining Page;


Data mining, a branch of computer science and artificial intelligence, is the process of extracting patterns from data. Data mining is seen as an increasingly important tool by modern business to transform data into business intelligence giving an informational advantage. It is currently used in a wide range of profiling practices, such as marketing, surveillance, fraud detection, and scientific discovery.


In the less complicated words of Jim Haas;


Every time you use Facebook or one of the thousands of web pages using Facebook Connect your personal information is being collected and then sold to marketers and mysterious 3rd parties without your consent. Facebook gets rich and you don’t make a dime.


This extension blocks Facebook from tracking your movements on the web, which sounds great. The extension will block all data going to Facebook until it reaches 100,000 downloads. After 100,000 downloads this is where it gets strange. Facebook DataMine will then sell your information to third party websites and share the profits with you. This may excite you or in-my-case scare you. Users are able to opt out at any stage. My initial reaction was sweet, extra money, this extension is going to hit 100,000 installs fast. Then I pressed the install button and this popped up:



It made me think twice, “This extension can access: Your data on all websites…” I can’t just hand-over all that data to someone else. Then I thought some more, Facebook DataMine will let me own my data for a set time and then they will own it. Yes I will be reimbursed for selling my data. However if my data is to be sold by anyone, it should be Facebook. After all isn’t this another example of someone monetizing off the back of Facebook and leaving them out?


I trust Facebook. You’re all laughing at me right? But I do. It’s like the old saying, “better the devil you know”. Facebook launched in Feb 2004 and it took the site 5 years to become profitable. A part of me believes that Facebook should be making money for the amazing service that it is providing.


However if you want to make your data into money and have no issues with your data being sold, give Facebook DataMine a try.

Making Money Your


App Store Classics: Game Dev Story, a game about making games.


Ever wondered what it’d be like to run your own game development house? Me neither, but don’t let that stop you getting involved with Game Dev Story (iTunes link), a little gem of a game from Japanese developers Kairosoft, currently on sale in the app store for $0.99.


The concept is straightforward – grow your development house from a tiny team of four staff churning out cheap and cheerful PC games to a revered coding powerhouse in swanky offices crafting masterpieces for the latest consoles.


At first you’ll probably be going over budget left right and centre, trying to figure out which game types work best and therefore shift more units, but once you get into the swing of it you can concentrate on hiring and training the best staff and purchasing licences to develop console games, resulting in better made and better selling games with higher profit margins.


It’s not just a question of hiring and firing, coming up with game ideas and watching your staff working their buns off though. Through the use of ‘boosts’ which are periodically made available to purchase as the game progresses (not in-app purchases I hasten to add), you can choose one of your coders to work on enhancing one specific aspect of the game. This pushes up the overall quality of the game you’re making and results in better reviews and sales, adding a further strategic element as you choose the right moment and category in which to use your boosts. At certain points within the development cycle you also get the chance to work on the graphics and sound specifically, either using one of your own staff or hiring in a freelancer, and this too gives you the opportunity to increase the overall quality of your virtual product.



When you make your first million seller it’s a satisfying moment but there’s no time to rest on your laurels. There are always new consoles appearing on the market, contract jobs to take on, new staff to hire and new game types to discover. If you leave too much of a gap between development cycles you start losing fans and therefore a few sales, but think carefully about what kind of games you make – my pirate simulation was a right turkey.



It’s all great fun, but it’s fair to say there are a few things here which need to be addressed by the time Game Dev Story 2 arrives in the app store. I know it’s a tall order on a phone but I couldn’t help thinking how nice it would be if I could play the games my team had made. Even a comedy cut sequence showing some aspects of the latest game would have been good. There are also some hugely expensive advertising options within this game that offer no feedback other than some numbers increasing on a stat page. If I’m sponsoring a racing team I’d like to see my company logo on the side of a formula one car at least!


Finally, the game is perhaps a bit on the easy side. I’m sure if developing a multi million selling game was this straightforward we’d all be at it. Well, maybe not, but it’s easy to make enough money that you don’t have to worry too much about how you spend it, and this negatively impacts the strategy element.


All things considered however, Game Dev Story is great fun. It’s a good natured game and from the cute graphics and retro sound to the amusing titles you can give your creations, it’s a rewarding experience which works perfectly whether in short bursts or longer play sessions. Did I mention that it’s currently only $0.99 on the app store?














As a self-funded startup, Meyer and his team have just launched the service in San Francisco by walking around neighborhoods like the Haight, Cole Valley and Inner Sunset, handing out flyers and talking to people. He says the reaction has been very positive. "There's traditionally been a lot of informal sharing between immediate neighbors. This gives people a tool to organize that, and extend the circle of trust a bit further too." He also finds it remarkable how much has changed in the last decade of social technology, since his service relies on "communication between strangers," requiring coordination that would have been almost impossible until recently.



It's still early days, but with several hundred users after just a week, there does seem to be interest. It also seems a natural complement to a car-sharing service like ZipCar, making your choice of parking spot at your destination as flexible as your choice of vehicle.



Meyer pointed out that there are a lot of secondary benefits to the service too. It gives people a chance to help out other locals, to "be a neighborhood hero," reduces the gas wasted circling the block, and removes the hassle of having to move your vehicle every two hours because of street parking regulations. There's an active trade in garage and private space rentals here in San Francisco, but ParkCirca gives you the chance to park in multiple spots, rather than being anchored to a particular location.



There's no guarantees that their model will work, but as some who has recently moved to the city I really hope it does take off. Meyer is currently looking into raising angel funding to support his mission of "making urban life better for everyone," and I wish him luck.

So you want to make money online? You’re tired of your 9 to 5 job. You like the idea of setting your own hours. You may have heard that you can make a ton of money without a whole lot of effort. Whatever the reason, you know this is what you want to do.

Although the things you may have heard make it sound like the best thing you can ever do, many things are just myths. When deciding to find a way to make money online, you need to know the fact from fiction.

Don’t Quit Your Day Job

I’m sure you’ve heard that many times before, but it’s true. If you already have a job and you’re bringing in a steady income don’t quit, whatever you do, don’t do it. No matter what you’re promised. The money you bring in at your job will support you while you work to make money online. It can even be used as start up capital for certain business endeavors.

It Takes Money to Make Money

Yes, you’ve heard that one to. This is true and false at the same time.

If you’re completely new to making money online, you may want to invest in training material. You can learn practically everything you need to know for free using the web, but this is the case of time is money. It may take you a lot longer going the free route.

This is the reason people can sell countless numbers of how to guides to making money online, or charge for access to a database of sites that pay you for a particular service. They know some people don’t have the time to spend researching ways to make money and testing out those ways once they find them. So for a fee you can get access to year’s worth of knowledge and be on your way in less time than it took them.

So is there a way to make money without spending it? Sure there is. Writing articles is a perfect example. Plenty of sites will pay you for quality original content. Most of which have no upfront cost. Those that do may let you pay out of your earnings, so no money comes out of your pocket.

Some will pay more than others and some will have stricter guidelines on what you can submit. It all depends on the website. MPAM and Associated Content are two popular sites for submitting articles for pay.

You can also become an affiliate. An affiliate is someone who advertises someone else's products for a commission. Most affiliate programs are free to sign up with. You can then advertise that program in message boards or make a review in your blog.


Owning Your Own Website

If you want to be seen as a professional you must own your own website. Whether you own your own business or you’re marketing someone else’s you need a website. No one would take you seriously if they see you made your site using some free program.

Even if they did, usually free websites have pop up ads and banners. You definitely don’t want a bunch of advertising for other sites taking away your business.

Many features come with owning your own website as well. Bandwidth is a huge concern. If your site gets popular you don’t want your site getting shut down because you exceeded your limit. Free sites don’t give you nearly enough space. With your own domain you get you own personal email account. Besides looking more professional you don’t have to worry about spam filters. If a prospect is sending you an email you want to be sure you get it.

It’s not that expensive to have a website anyway. You can buy a domain for under $10 a year and hosting for under $5 a month. If you’re serious about making money, you can’t be cheap and you can’t be lazy.

Making Money Online is Hard Work

There are no ifs ands or buts about it. If you want to be successful in making money online you need to work hard. Ignore all the sites that promise you riches overnight, or that it takes no effort at all to produce huge sums of money.

If you write articles, you have to know how to write. Seems obvious doesn’t it? But many people believe that you can write a ton of articles in know time at all. While it’s possible to get to the point where you can write 20 to 30 articles in a day. I can guarantee it took some effort to get to that point. Nobody is born knowing how to write.

If you decide to sell your own products, you have to know exactly what it is you want to sell and how you’re going to do it. Simply finding a product is hard enough but once you do; getting it setup to sell, advertising the product, maintaining your site and dealing with customer support all takes a lot of work, especially if you do it yourself.

If you sell no product of your own and simply market other peoples products, expect to find a lot of competition. Nowadays everybody and their cousin are trying to make money online.

Expect to spend time advertising. Nobodies going to buy anything from you if they don’t know about it, and they won’t know about it if you don’t tell them. Spend time in message boards, submit to search engines and traffic generators. Publish articles to popular sites.

The Bottom Line


Whatever you do you have to work at it, and you won’t see success over night. One thing you need to realize is that no one is going to do the work for you. There are plenty of people that can help you. Some will even give you step-by-step instructions on what to do, but if you don’t actually do them you won’t get anywhere. If you’re going to succeed in making money online you have to commit to doing it.

Kids Making Money


Former American Federation of Teachers President Albert Shanker made teachers’ unions what they are today.  He was hard-nosed defender of teachers’ rights, but he also came clean about public school performance.






In the making of “Kids Aren’t Cars,” I unearthed a 25-year old PBS interview with Shanker. His indictment of the public education system was stunning.


“You could do things that are absolutely wrong, you can have huge dropout rates, you can have kids who are leaving without knowing how to read, write, count or anything else and what do you do next year?  Do the same as you did this year and the following year and the following year…”


And when Shanker – again, 25 years ago – rattled off achievement statistics, the host challenged him:


Shanker: When it comes to the highest levels of reading, writing, mathematics or science – that just means being able to read editorials in the New York Times…or write an essay of a few pages…or do a mathematical equation, not calculus…the number of kids who are about to graduate who are able to function at that level, depending on whether you’re talking about reading, writing, math science – 3 percent, 4 percent…


Host: Oh, come on!


Shanker: No! 5 percent. That’s it.


Does anyone honestly believe our education system – which has had billions of dollars more each year dumped into – is better now than it was in 1986?


Anyone??



Shanker was straight with the public – even if he didn’t see teacher quality and accountability as part of the solution.


If only current AFT President Randi Weingarten and National Education Association President Dennis Van Roekel would be as candid.   But I’m not holding my breath. The AFT and the NEA have presided over the decline of public education in America, and they know it.  But if the union leaders admit to that, well, it would undermine their call for ever greater levels of “investment.”


But in the wake of “Waiting for Superman,” Weingarten and Van Roekel are acquiescing to the public outcry for accountability, and taking rhetorical baby steps toward reform, such as maybe one day making student achievement a tiny sliver of a teacher’s overall performance evaluation. Maybe.


The teacher unions are walking contradictions.  They portray themselves as experts in education policy, but somehow never manage to deliver the goods. They claim to elevate the teaching profession, yet bend over backward to defend the worst among them, including a Michigan teacher deemed to be a danger to herself and others.


The sad truth is that the AFT and the NEA have an agenda that revolves around accumulating as much money and power as possible for themselves and their political surrogates. The teacher unions are a collection of far-left progressives who use the honored title of “teacher” to conceal their radical political agenda. How else to explain why the Rhode Island chapter of the NEA would participate in a rally for same-sex marriage?  What does that possibly have to do with education?


Back to Shanker. Even though he ardently defended teachers, he was genuinely concerned about the quality of education being given to America’s school children. Can the same be said of Randi Weingarten and Dennis Van Roekel?


Consider this quote from social writer and philosopher Eric Hoffer and decide for yourself:  “Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.”








Jon Gosselin has returned to the workforce as a rep in sales and marketing.  His ex-wife, Kate Gosselin is making $250,000 per episode of ‘Kate Plus 8′ – she uses those children as her meal ticket as surely as if they were livestock.


Jon can’t seem to get the courts to agree to stop Kate and TLC from filming the children who he claims are exhibiting all sorts of behavioural problems as a result of being filmed all of the time and enduring the tension of constant work.


The question that immediately comes to mind is whether Jon’s primary concern is for his children or is he simply overwhelmingly jealous.  When he had a say in things those kids were on camera just as much as now.


In any case magazine ‘Life & Style’ has the following press release:



Reality star Jon Gosselin is swapping TV stardom for your typical 9-to-5 gig. “Jon’s working for Global Green Property Services,” which helps properties become more environmentally friendly, an insider tells Life & Style. “He’s doing sales marketing, which means he goes out to companies or cold-calls them and tries to get them to use Global Green. It’s a modest job – he doesn’t get a huge salary.” While Jon, 33, is making the rounds in Pennsylvania to help earn cash for his eight kids, his ex-wife, Kate Gosselin, is earning money through her reality show with the kids. “Jon doesn’t long for fame at all,” says the insider to Life & Style. “He’s much more content blending in and being able to live his life without the world watching.”



To us it all sounds more like a big case of sour grapes – Kate’s getting the money.

There is no excuse for someone who says "I have nothing, I have no money and I cannot get ahead." There are so many places and ways to make or save money. If you really want to better yourself there are a plenitude of opportunities. After all the US is the land of opportunities. Why else would people from places like Mexico and South America keep flocking here? Most of us have so many things in our lives that we don't "NEED." Here's some ways to cut back and save.

My husband and I recently realized that we were spending more money then we were making and it became necessary to downscale our lifestyle. We canceled the cable. We switched our land line phone to a much cheaper Internet phone. We are selling one vehicle to get rid of the extra payment. We set ourselves up on a strict budget and rules for when we can and can't eat out. We are making better decisions money-wise. But we also decided to bring in extra money to speed up the process of paying down some bills. We both dabble on eBay and sell things we find at yard sales and the flea market. It's not a lot of money, but it pays for the occasional eat out or the new blouse I saw and want really bad. We decided with this new endeavor that we would make it more of a business. We set a time schedule of which nights and times we would both "work" on it. I wanted to be able to still be home with the kids and still bring in money. My first two weeks were fairly successful. I have $153 in sales, $45 in eBay fees and the purchasing of my products. I would like to see a higher profit margin so I have to keep looking for items that will bring a higher price but a lower investment. The down side is it takes a while to get started and recognize good deals when you see them, and you have to spend time researching each item before you list it. The upside is in the long run it pays off as you become more inept at the process and you get a thrill out of making a 200% turn- around.

We went through our home room by room and cleaned out anything and everything that we didn't need. Anything that had been sitting there for more than a year and hadn't been touched. Anything that we had just hung on to with that "maybe" or "just in case" attitude. It all went. We went to the local flea market and and sold about half of it for $300. Two weeks later we had a yard sale of our own and made another $60. We are going to try again next weekend at the flea market. We are taking anything that didn't sell along with more things that we've found as we've continued to clean out the house.

We also both started looking for another part time job that we could fit into our already busy schedule. We found that there are still plenty of jobs out there. You just have to look. As soon as we started discussing it we found that there was a Lowe's opening down the street from us. I found the local fabric store looking for someone part time to cut fabric. There was openings in a warehouse near our house that was looking for someone in Customer Service and in packing. There probably aren't as many jobs around as there were 2 years ago, but there are still opportunities available to those looking.

Once we had a concrete plan of attack on our finances we decided to have a long talk with our kids about what was necessary and what wasn't. We explained to them that we were downscaling our living a little and there would not be all the frivolous spending that they were used to. Christmas would be much smaller. We may skip buying the expensive yearbooks at school and maybe even skip some of the field trips. We will have to choose which things are important enough to spend our money on. We began buying jeans at Goodwill, yard sales, or flea markets. You can usually find name brand jeans like Hollister, Old Navy, Gap, American Eagle, and many others for $2.50- $4.50 depending on the size and condition. Since kids grow so fast it's a great deal. Other things that the kids need come from off season sale racks and special promotions. If you really watch what you spend and are selective about what you buy then you can find some really good deals and save lots of money.

Last but not least, I had to completely overhaul my grocery shopping routine. I buy from sales clubs like Costco or Sam's. I have a rotation that works for me while buying in bulk. I buy toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, clothes detergent and cases of canned diced tomatoes and tomato sauce etc once a month rotating through the big ticket items as I get paid each week so that I don't have to put it all out of pocket at one time. I also buy from other discount stores like Aldis. They sell good quality items without the name brand attached to it for a fraction of the cost. Sometimes you will even find a name brand item you love for great savings. I watch for specials and coupons ( unfortunately Aldis and Sam's do not accept coupons) on items that I use frequently. I only use coupons on things that I won't usually buy the off brand for. If there is a generic of something that my family doesn't mind, the generic is usually cheaper than the name brand even with coupons or sales. I also quit buying individually packaged or portioned snacks and drinks. I now buy in bulk and portion it my self. It takes a little bit of time but it's worth it with the money I save (not to mention being greener by using more reusable containers.) I also make my own brownies and desserts instead of buying the expensive bakery ones.

There are lots and lots of tips here for saving and making money. Even if you don't use all of them, I am sure you will find something that you do. Every little bit helps. After all, a penny saved is a penny earned.
