Facebook will block photos of your ex
In a move none too soon, Facebook will begin a roll-out to all users to start NOT showing pictures of your ex (the one that used to be your main squeeze) tied to your account.
No more, hopefully, will Facebook continue to torture you with pictures of your ex with their new beau.
Quote from InsideFacebook.com:
… Facebook’s project manager in charge of photos, Sam Odio, commented on the post saying, “Hi All – I’d like to let you know that we’re listening to your feedback. The photo memories product no longer shows tagged photos of your friends if you were previously in a relationship with them.” While users may still see Photo Memories of their former romantic partners if they didn’t declare the relationship on Facebook, as well of their current partner with that person’s former partners, the change should help heal the heartache for many users.

I think Sam Odio is onto something great here.

Taskrabbit.com to run the errands you can’t
Taskrabbit.com has a great niche that is soon to be duplicated and copied dozens of times in the next few weeks.
What is taskrabbit.com?
Let’s say you have some errands to run but don’t have the time, or you’re not feeling good and need a hand around the house or to run some chores, taskrabbit.com matches your chores with a willing hand and once you work out what the chore(s) are worth you’ve hired yourself an extra hand. This errand running and delivery (and more) service seems to be available only in Boston and San Fransisco so far.
This is great, I might just look for this service when it comes to my location, I always have a lawn that needs cutting…

Who wants to be a retail worker…
Stampede
Seriously, if I had a choice of being off for the day of my birthday, Christmas Day or Black Friday, I’d choose Black Friday….
Really, who wants to go to work with the possibility of bodily harm, early start hours, desperate and ungrateful customers… the whole 9 yards.
I have worked retail and despite how much I liked the people I work with, and the company I worked for, I think that a lot of customers could use some “Ms. Manners” lessons. Maybe even just the first class about common decency.
I have met people that just can’t get good customer service and it’s almost 100% because they’re asses with loud mouths.
Remember, you can catch more flies with honey… blah, blah.
Retail stampedes aside, I think I’ll shop online this Friday.
Later this week we will post Black Friday specials as they become available to tell you about.
Save time, save money and spend more time with family by shopping online this Black Friday!
Sports Writer – a Great Job?
I’ve often thought of being a professional sports writer. The thought of being involved, if even in an obtuse way, with professional sports has always held a bit of glamor for me.
The reality of being a sports writer is far from glamorous, I’m sure.
First of all you have to love sports, not really really like, but L-O-V-E sports. I figure I’m in the “really, really like” fan section but I couldn’t give you the names of any three players for any one team, in any sport. And if the game isn’t on TV or written up in the crime section of an online news website I probably missed it.
Being a sports writer, I’m sure, involves a lot of numbers, math, knowing games rules better than most referees, inglorious travel, late night writers block, and trying to not hate what you do for a living.
All that probably explains exactly why I’m not a sports writer. If that stuff attracts you, then take journalism as your major, or start a blog and get 1,000 channels of sports Tv and a great coffee maker.
Good luck… maybe I’ll read you some time in the future.

How to be a restaurant critic: Great Jobs?
I am always on the lookout for a new job.
Not so much that I don’t like my current job(s) but more like maybe there is something else out there that I could be good/great at.
Am I missing something by not doing somehting else with my 40 hours + a week workstyle?
This article caught my attention today: “So you want to be a restaurant critic?”
While I might not agree with the writer’s contention that you need to be hated or sell-out I am sure that you need a particularly tough gut to stamach the food as well as the criticsm you’ll receive as a critic.
You have to be able to dish it out and eat it up… pun intended.
I do like the suggestion in the article of just writing a food related blog and lashing out at poor service, badly prepared food and related bad practices but you have to be able to balance the bad and the good, I’m sure.
I’m not sure if I could handle the pressure of being creatively critical, however. I don’t mind being tough but having to explain my toughness is another thing. Would you want to constantly have to explain why you think a certyain way? Me neither.
