Make sure that both of you have the latest versions of these two items; the Adobe Flash Player 10.3

And the Adobe Shockwave Player 11.6

The pages I sent you to are set up for Internet Explorer and the English language, if these aren’t your preferred settings it will be easy enough for you to navigate your way around the Adobe pages.

Twitter updates really quickly. People are Tweeting new things all the time which can trend within 5 minutes of becoming breaking news.

Another possibility is regulation, if a topic begins trending and suddenly disappears, it could be inappropriate or just become unpopular. The internet world is so quick you can blink your eyes and new websites are huge, topics are gone or have become TT’s.

I saw a chance to win a sony Vaio laptop go trending from @Shopow_ and before I got chance it vanished! I ended up knowing a friend who had entered the draw so I tracked them down.

Hope this answers your Question.

Question by scvidrine: Is it just access to news now, or are there a lot of missing mothers lately?
It seems most of these women are missing, found dead, and accused of being killed by a husband/lover. A new trend?
It seems like there is another missing mother every week. I see the caption at the bottom of the screen “missing mother” and assume it’s the same news. I’m shocked to see it’s a different person.

I don’t know but my co-worker and I was just talking about this yesterday. I don’t think it’s just access to news now because I have always had that but it really does seem like their are a lot of missing women lately. Not just mothers, their are a lot of kids and teens going missing as well. I just pray for everyone to be safe.

Answer by Michael
Unfortunately there does not seem to be any way to turn it off at this time. I really like the new upgrade at Yahoo mail but I pay to have no advertisements and now there is always some corporate product like Christina Aguilera hovering in the upper right and I do not appreciate it.
