talal.pk my new domain

talal.pk domainCouple of months back, I bought the new domain for my personal usage http://talal.pk and wanted to let you all know that my blog which is currently on http://www.talalmasood.com can be accessed via the new URL too. Just to show my identity of Pakistan, I purchased this domain. Where ever I go, where ever I live, I am a proud Pakistani and I will always be identified by that.

Facebook not re-activting my profile and fanpage

I mailed facebook on disabled@facebook.com to re-activate my account, because I was not given any warning or any notification and suddenly my account was disabled. Today I received an email back from facebook (and amazingly it was in junk mailbox of my gmail). Following is the email from them:

Hi Talal,

One of Facebook’s main priorities is the comfort and safety of our users. Your account was disabled because you engaged in behavior other users reported as harassing in nature. It is a violation of Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities to harass users on the site, whether through unsolicited messages, friend requests or other features. We will not be able to reactivate your account for any reason. This decision is final.

Thanks for your understanding,

Now I want to know from you guys out here, what was my behavior which appeared to be harassing in nature. This is totally non-sense. I would request you all the fans out here to mail them now and ask them for my account re-activation. My disabled accounts are http://facebook.com/tAALz and http://facebook.com/TalalFans … You can mail to facebook at appeals@facebook.com and disabled@facebook.com .. I would be really thankful to all my friends and fans out there, who helped me and loved me so much.

Regards,
Talal Masood

Facebook Disabled My Profile and Fan Page

Facebook yesterday night disabled my profile and my fan page both without any notification. I got no idea, why would they delete it. I had over 900 friends on my profile and over 6900 fans on my fan page. I am feeling like I just had a greatest loss. I have created a temporary new account, but still hoping for them to return my original account back. I had so many photo albums in it, so many videos and alot of other stuff. To my surprise, I had also created other fan pages of different people, all of them are still working. So I guess, facebook just had a problem with me. If I ever uploaded any video that has copyright issues, facebook used to delete it right away with a notification, so I suppose its not about the copyright thing. So here is the link to my new profile (I hope I use it temporarily and get back to my original one soon).

Google Caught Talal Masood :)

Today I was just browsing Internet and killing time, and was trying different things. I thought to try out my name in Google. I opened http://www.google.com.pk and just typed “Talal” and amazingly the search suggestion brought my name on the top of the list. Talal Masood was there and with amazingly 128,000 results. lol, I guess I’m not hidden anymore. Here’s the screenshot

Pakistan Youth Revolution, Go Green Pakistan and Me

Pakistan is my soul, Pakistan is my life, Pakistan is my world. I am a Pakistani and I am proud to be one. Where ever I’ll go in this world, I will be recognized with my identity and my identity is the name of the nation to which I belong too. In August 2009, Farhan Masood and I started an online campaign called “Go Green Pakistan” which took a strange turn in the online community of Pakistan. The patriotism that we were losing in our busy life, started to return back. Oh, by the way Farhan Masood is not my blood related brother. Our last names matched by coincidence :)
