Here's how to get those old Bebo photos back

Don’t worry, you don’t need your password.

YOU MAY HAVE noticed that some of those old Bebo photos are coming back to haunt you. Bebo have begun giving users back their old photos and blogs, and if you know your old username and password or have access to the associated email account, you can get yours back. The deadline is 15 March though, so get a move on.

Here’s what you need to do.

1. Download the new Bebo app for iPhone or Android. If you don’t have either, you can email support@bebo.com and beg.

2. Create your Bebo character and you will be given a chat screen with a Bebo bot, @teambebo

abebo3

3. Open the chat and type #OldPhotos

abebo2

4. You’ll be given a screen like this to enter the details of the account you want to recover photos and blogs from

abebo1

5. If you’ve forgotten your username and password, not to worry. The email you used with the account will suffice.

abebo5

6. Await that faithful email with a .zip file containing your old stuff, and start tagging everyone on Facebook.

    Taylor swift has annoyed me for a while now but she has been really brilliant throughout this whole situation. The fact that she only countersued for a dollar and then made a charitable donation says a lot about her character. Fair play!

    She’s worth a lot more than $44m. Her property portfolio alone is almost $100m. Conservative estimates put her at $300m.

    @Pat Troy: I’d say you might have to pay him the half a million though. Taylor Swift on the other hand only countersued him for one dollar. ( only after he tried to sue her ). She only wanted vindication and justice!!

    Have to say she handled this whole episode with class right from the word go and the charitable donation was the icing on the cake. Still doesn’t alter the fact that her music is absolute pop pap crap tough.

    I’m delighted to see such a shift in attitudes. When I was a teenager it was very common to have auld fellas just slap your ass as you passed them on the street . Gardai would laugh at you if you complained too. The only warning you would get is that the auld fellas used to bless themselves before they did it. Sometimes if gave you the chance to run. That’s what was happening in public regularly!!! That was the 80s. Not all that long ago where it was funny to assault teenage girls. One auld guy didn’t realise I was with my mother one day and she just let rip on him. He got shopping bags full of tins beaten off his head. Then she started on him with the umbrella. No one else would stand up for you though. Horrible times !!!
