I find that Metblogs has been quietly deleting some of my earlier articles, that were written with a lot of effort. VERY unethical.

I usually listen to the songs on old Tamizh movies as I sit and type and just got to hear that beautiful song, "Parakkum, panthu parakkum"....and I tried to google for it, and found that the movie running on my TV set is "paNakkAra kudumbam" (Rich family). But when I tried to get the YouTube video of the song, I got the message that it has been removed due to "terms of use violation". This seems to be the problem with several other Tamizh film song videos as well.

Where would I be able to get a youtube of this delightful song (where the rhythm of the song is maintained by the "pock" of the shuttlecock being hit by the badminton rackets!)? Would be grateful if someone could send me a link...

I received an invitation from someone I knew to Shelfari, and asked if they had found it useful. Here's the reply:


Oh, don't get me started about them. I am so cheesed off, it's not funny. First of all, I never meant to email anyone, actually, you were the only one I intended to mail, since you were the only other person I knew well, with an account there. But the damn site's interface misled me, and it shot off an email to every tom, dick and harry I have ever received an email from on gmail, half of whom I don't even know!

That irritated me so much, I deleted my account right away, and now, despite my doing that, they have sent this stupid reminder. I really wish I could sue them.

I am so angry, it's not funny.... I hope you delete your account too!! :-)

Ah...that..is that.

Does Shelfari have an option to delete the account? That, at least, would be ethical of them...
