Given that I spend countless hours on Facebook, I’d imagine that calling me a “Facebook Addict” wouldn’t be too far off. I mean it is pretty much my job at this point. According to the FB Addict application though, I am not hooked on Facebook. My qualification for a Facebook addict? […]
A recent research-survey of BBC employees with their profiles on Facebook shows that almost 11 times of Facebook employees classify them as more “liberal” instead of “conservative”.
The survey was recently conducted by portal called conservativehome.com. The survey shows that close to 1,340 staff members have classified themselves in the category of liberal. On the […]

While speaking on a panel at Snap Summit yesterday, one of the audience members posed a question to the panel: how do you gain exposure outside of the U.S. on Facebook? My response was to simply translate your application. While browsing through the application directory yestreday, I saw a number of Spanish and Turkish applications […]
…Is to add the Causes application. This allows you to add and track the many do-gooder groups you have been dying to join. Why such a downer? Because browsing the cause groups means staring at a long column of depresso-pictures; everything from animals in tiny cages to sad-faced little kids to pictures of the earth […]
Just when you thought you had seen all the friend visualizations that there are to see, another comes along and puts just a slight twist on things. King’s Collage provides you with five different collage variations: the traditional friend collage (similar to the friends grid and my entourage applications), a sun, a start, a […]
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak on a panel at Snap Summit. During the panel, a discussion came up surrounding “platform wars” and how companies (including Google) were racing to develop a competing platform to Facebook. I completely agree that the race has begun but the real battle is over the “social […]
If you’re using Facebook as your primary photo storage, you might want to look closely at the Terms of Use.
Under the terms which every Facebook user agrees to before using the site:
By posting User Content to any part of the Site, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to […]
Today is Friday and the developers of the Naughty Gifts application are preparing to throw a massive bash in New York City. I would have been there to cover it but I am in California at the Snap Summit. The party is exclusively for users of the Naughty Gifts application and is by […]
Facebook is a useful site, but it can also be a glorious, luxurious waste of time. And isn’t that why we love it? For those of you who, like me, revel in fun, useless stuff, I present a brief list of some of my favorite time-wasters:
Actually, I think your tattoo is hideous
This group contains, at […]
If use the iTunes player for listening to music then you know how the application has a really great user interface. Girard Kelly, one of the developers of the iTunes.fm application sent me a message about their application. I’m glad I checked it out. This application has to be the slickest twist to the original […]
With Facebook receiving a $15 billion valuation, Peter Lauria suggests that MySpace would be worth $65 billion based on the fact that they have 185 million users. As I said yesterday, the present value of Facebook is nowhere near $15 billion. If Facebook was worth $15 billion today, Myspace still wouldn’t be worth […]
While Numair Faraz, the orignial developer of the Audio application, has not returned, Jake Jarvis has decided to revive the idea. The only difference this time is that it is legal. Rather than providing a searchable and browsable directory of uploaded songs, Jake has decided to enable users to display their own music on their […]
Well, they’ve done it.
The fastest growing Facebook group ever has reached its goal of 1,000,000 members in nine days. I must admit, I joined this group relatively shortly after its creation, coming in at number 22,436. I never would have thought that in just over a week, one million Gen Y’ers would be able to […]
Recent Investments in Facebook Are Misleading
When you play poker and you think you have the winning hand, you go all in. You do not limp around or slow play. You go for the juggler. This is because you know you have a sure thing and you are guaranteed to win. When I take a look […]
Remember yesterday when I said (fluff)Friends cannot die? I guess I was wrong. October 24, one of the developer’s servers crashed, losing hundreds of fluffs.
If you lost a fluff, you’ll need to recreate one. Don’t bother putting up signs around your neighborhood, because that fluff is gone. Also gone is your munny balance, along with […]
