If you ever republish your posts on Facebook, you may want to reconsider because of Facebook’s new, perpetual rights-grabbing TOS change.
I have information about this on my other blog plus … of course … a Facebook Face Off limerick.

Facebook’s Onerous TOS Change
Monday, February 16th, 2009Ode To Ron Kuby (Limerick)
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008Ron Kuby is known on the street
As a lawyer who rarely is beat.
And his show Doing Time
Is quite simply sublime.
Now Ron Kuby has learned how to Tweet.

Some Friendly Advice For McCain’s Veep Vetting Team
Thursday, June 26th, 2008I was shocked to learn that John McCain is computer illiterate. Well, I have just the ticket:
Some Friendly Advice For McCain’s Veep Vetting Team
By Madeleine Begun Kane
McCain doesn’t use a PC
Or a Mac, so he needs a VP
Who can act as his tutor
In using a ‘puter
And help with the phone and TV.[tags]McCain’s Campaign, Computer Illiteracy, Campaign Satire, Computer Literacy, Election Humor, Mac Or PC, VP Vetting[/tags]
Mad Kane’s Gone Mobile and So Can You
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007There’s good news for the on-the-run multitasker: Mad Kane’s gone mobile, so both of my blogs can be read on cell phones.
And there’s even more good news — it’s easy to set up. How? I’ll tell you where to go … but first, a limerick:
Ode To The Mobile Web
By Madeleine Begun Kane
My blog has gone mobile — how cool!
You can surf on a cellular tool
While on foot, in your car,
Or wherever you are.
Mobile web browsing — cellulars rule!

Hack This Limerick (E-Voting Verse)
Wednesday, November 15th, 2006Avedon Carol says that winning doesn’t settle it, and I certainly agree. Just because Democrats won this year, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do something about the integrity of our voting process and ensure fair elections. And that brings me to my latest limerick:
Hack This Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A ballot should faithfully note
Each candidate getting a vote.
But election machines
Can be hacked and that means
Voters don’t have a trustworthy tote.
Update: To keep up to date with e-voting issues, The Brad Blog is the place to be.
