Though Syria has officially banned Facebook access from within the country, residents can apparently get around the ban with relative ease. Our correspondent in Damascus (i.e. a friend of mine who happens to live there at present) reports that he’s been continuing to access the forbidden site via internet cafes by simply removing firewall blocks.

Despite all the hubbub surrounding Beacon, including several articles on this site, I did not until today really get what people were talking about. I mean, okay, I thought, if you buy something through Facebook then they’re going to notify your friends, and that sucks, but come on. Quit shopping through Facebook and you’re fine.

I stumbled across a rather ambitious group today: Six Degrees of Separation - The Experiment.

(Not necessarily related; just connected.)

Brian Groom of the Financial Times reported on information that we posted last week. I’m not sure why this news was recirculated again yesterday but there was coverage about Facebook’s January traffic […]

With the usual fever that Facebook causes news of its flash application, via Facebook Pages, is all the buzz on the blogs and tech journals the past couple of days. Most of the blogs are preaching the praise of this move and I have to agree, for the most part.
