With the launch of facebook places, people now have the ability to “check friends in” or “tag friends” as being at places with them….whether the friends are there or not.
Say what? Whether the friends are there or not?
Correct…let’s say someone checks into a place on facebook and then tags you as being with them (whether you are or aren’t…doesn’t matter…facebook doesn’t care). Not only will it show on their wall that you are with them at that place, but it will also show on your wall that you are with them…at the place they checked into. It won’t even ask you to verify that you are with them! It just happens…and this feature is enabled by default once you “activate” places feature in facebook. Creepy huh?
Right about know you’re probably thinking of the funny places you could check your friends into……..and now you’re saying, “whoa…what if a friend checks me into some place I don’t want”. Yeah, you’re now wanting to quickly turn that feature off and stop friends from checking you into places on facebook!
So here’s how to disable friends from tagging you in places on facebook in 3 easy steps.

I was raised in the tourist town Pigeon Forge, TN and was often asked where to get coupons, deals, discounts, etc for the various restaurants, attractions, lodging, and such in the area. As I figured out the best ways to get deals, I started applying what I learned to my own vacations so that I could save money the exact same way I was sharing with others about my hometown. In the process of figuring out the best websites to get printable coupons for various vacation destinations, I decided to put up some websites for each to share with others who may be interested in visiting those destinations. The list below has the coupons and discounts I found for some popular vacation spots. So if you plan on visiting any of these areas in the near future, I definitely suggest checking out the links below to help you save some money!!

What was once just a faint, pondering thought that usually ended with “naaahhhhhh” has grown into much more of an actual possibility.
Will Apple kill Adobe Flash?
Sound crazy? It may have a couple of years ago. But now with the iPhone & iPod Touch with their gazillion users (sorry, too lazy to look up actual numbers, but I think that’s close) and with the recent introduction of the Apple iPad…what trend do you notice? Right…no flash support on any of those devices. Hmmmm. Conspiracy? Reality? Let’s go deeper.

I don’t promote too many “internet marketing” products and the ones that I do end up sharing are ones that I firmly believe in and have full respect for the author(s). I simply want to avoid wasting your time and instead offer you the best resources available to help learn as much as possible in the shortest time possible. What I’m about to share with you packs a whole lot of punch and can take your blog to the next level…or numerous levels higher. If that interests you at all, then read on…because this has been an incredible resource that has helped to get me where I am today.

Some people don’t know what twitter is or maybe they do but they don’t understand why anyone would want to post everything they are doing or read what everyone else is doing. Some people just don’t “get it”. I usually try to explain it to someone only to hear “why would anyone do that?” or “I don’t have time for that”.
Well, this post will show you why twitter rocks.
I’ve been looking to take a trip back to Hawaii with my bride since there have been some great deals on hotels and such down there with the down economy. The only thing there hasn’t been great deals on is airfare. From Atlanta, the tickets usually hover around $850 per person roundtrip. So that would be about $1,700 just in airfare! Ouch!
That’s where twitter came in…and boy did it pay off! Here’s how I snagged 2 roundtrip tickets to Hawaii for LESS than the cost of a single ticket!
