Remember hickeys? I do.
I’ve had two hickeys my whole entire life and both were pretty unpleasant experiences. The first, I was around 14ish (I think) and happy to finally be included in the hickey club. All the cool kids were in that club, so I felt cool too…until I realized how much effort was required [...]


Basically, they are saying:
“What’s yours is mine and what’s mine is mine.”
Now it’s no secret TOS (Terms of Service) concerns didn’t start with Facebook. Facebook also isn’t the only site telling users: “Hey, we own your content.” My problem is with the licensing and sub-licensing and what they can do with content we put on [...]


So the day comes when you log into your Facebook and see that one friend request you never wanted to see: from your boss.
You stare at it for a few seconds, stuck on stupid, trying to decide what to do. There are a trillion things racing through your head: “Should I accept it? … [...]


URGENT: I’ve been robbed and need help.
Imagine logging into Facebook and seeing a friend’s status message set to the above. What would you do?
Joaquin Grech saw his friend’s status message set to an urgent cry for help and immediately logged on to Facebook chat to ask: “What can I do to help?” The “friend” [...]


Facebook is filled with some smart ass motherfuckers.
They came right when Gen XYZ (or whatever we’re called) became fed up with Myspace. You know, the other clusterfuck site where people’s personal spaces are overloaded by Flash and glitter? Where profile pictures are simply shameless and the nicknames are atrocious. I swear, if I see another: [...]


Just like how the 80s birthed many crime worthy fashion trends – I mean seriously, look at that picture. Just Say NO! to Scrunchies – one of the biggest modern day faux pas is appalling. People, I am talking about virtual prettifying trends that need to be stopped.
My Facebook and Gmail and a lot of [...]


A fellow blogger J. Phil, sent this PennyArcade comic during a discussion about Facebook. I like PennyArcade, but due to my severe A.D.D. (self diagnosed), there is way too much small text to read, hence I don’t really follow PennyArcade, and doubt I appreciate it as much as I should. Sorry to all the hard [...]


(Design) It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

This man speaks the truth. Intuitive UIs ftw. Facebook can learn a thing or two from Jobs. — just saying.

…via Facebook and only one person showed up.
Wow. If a NY Times writer can’t get his “friends”, I’m f*cked.
Reason No. 9879238472937 Facebook is useless.

So I just subscribed to Facebook’s Engineering Notes via GReader, right?
I opened up the Reader and LOLd.

Seriously. WTF?
How do they expect to be taken seriously if their “official” blog is a FREAKIN’ mess on readers. How is that ok? Don’t they care?
I am truly truly baffled.


HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS!
My EFin blog is featured on WordPress.com. WTF?! And how in the HECK did that happen?! Wow. Thanks, everyone for visiting…? I don’t know what to say except I am glad I’m not the only one who can’t stand the new Facebook.
Anyway, to get the Old Facebook back, click this:

edit 9/13/08: To get the Old Facebook back, click this. ;)
I logged into Facebook right now and saw this:

Please say it isn’t so!!
Look, I tried the “new” updated one, I really did. But it is an unintuitive mess. There is just way too much going on. Tabs are here, there, and everywhere. The invitations for [...]


The past few days, I’ve attempted life as a ‘normal person‘. Going out with friends, dates, bars, and today, I even had an ‘average Sunday’ — Sunday brunch, Sunday errands, lazy Sunday in a park, then Sunday coffee with my friends, complete with the Sunday paper.
As I was playing Sudoku, my mind started wandering, and [...]


Follow-up video for “Back to the old Facebook”…? YES PLEASE”

I’m still using the old Facebook, what about you?
If you’re using the new Facebook, what do you like about it? Am I missing out on something great??


The day after Facebook rolled out its redesign, I made a great discovery.

ta-daaaaaaaa!
after clicking that link on the upper right corner

+1 to Facebook for providing options.
I prefer the former. You?


I’m seeing Facebook announces “Great Apps”, “new tools” stories everywhere and I can’t be the only who doesn’t care about it… am I? Actually, the first thought that came to mind was do.not.want. I don’t know about you, but I’ve yet to come across an application I would actually log into Facebook for.
Seriously.. how [...]
