Site of the week: www.tovisitornot.com

Do you have an online shopping addiction you need to do something about?

Or have you been obsessively checking your ex’s blog every five minutes? Tovisitornot.com can help rescue your money, time and sanity.

This website gives you a hand in breaking online addictions by limiting you to one visit within a designated period of time (say, 60 minutes).

When you try to access the site for a second time that hour, you are taken to an intervening webpage with text persuading you not to go there.

However, if you absolutely must, you can still give in to temptation after four clicks. This simple deterrent works by creating a new link from the website’s address for you to use in place of the usual one.

To Visit Or Not also helps you kick the habit by placing a timer above the website (some sites like Facebook prevent it from working, however) as a constant reminder of how long you have been there — its way of guilt-tripping you into leaving the site and, hopefully, doing something more constructive instead.

Son against mother on Facebook

How far can you go when it comes to your 'privacy' online?

And now with Facebook as the platform, one son has gone all the way to sueing her mother.
Details? Read the short article below:

----------
Most kids hate having their parents join in on a discussion on Facebook, but one 16-year-old in Arkansas hates it so much he has filed suit against his mother charging her with harassment. From the article: "An Arkadelphia mother is charged with harassment for making entries on her son's Facebook page. Denise New's 16-year-old son filed charges against her last month and requested a no-contact order after he claims she posted slanderous entries about him on the social networking site. New says she was just trying to monitor what he was posting." Seems like he could just unfriend her.
