Greetings all.
No I haven't dropped off the face of the planet. My daughter is learning the GIMP program so she can create book covers. I haven't been able to do much except help her.
So folks, Facebook can now copy your information, your pictures, your stories. They are a public entity. And no, there isn't an alien occupying them, at least not to my knowledge. Did I lose you? Entity = Alien in several movies. LOL
So here is what you need to post on your Facebook page to stop them from copying what you are posting and working on. Copy and paste on your wall.

Snopes.com also says Facebook's claiming to own your copyrights is a hoax.
It's a hoax,Nancy. While I have your attention, I'm way behind wrapping up the Ripple's Effect blog book tour. Can you PLEASE inbox me your mailing address so they can send you a copy of the book? Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase. Thanks. :)
Though I've heard about the copyright message and it's debunking by Snopes, I'm under no illusions that Facebook is as altruistic as it claims to be. I'm slowly getting myself off there (because heaven forbid that I should just deactivate my profile. What would my 'friends' think of me then?) ... I'm a little cynical when it comes to Facebook :)

You know, I've seen this from several people. I will be doing this asap! Thanks for sharing this.
That's why I'm glad I'm not on Facebook.
I've been very careful what photos I post on Facebook.
Thanks everyone.
Hoax or not, it doesn't hurt to post copyright information. A notice is important on your blog as well.
I'll email you Dani.

Hi Nancy .. it's interesting to know what's going on .. I don't really do FB - but will next year - so I'll watch what I do even more carefully.
Good luck to your daughter - she sounds one useful lady! Image retouching and editing is always useful ..
Cheers Hilary
