My facebook name is Ned Raggett

Thank you, thank you. Request denied.

Rev: the North Korea of Facebook

There appears to be some confusion.

According to the Daily Mail, workers in Morocco and other countries are paid $1 an hour to moderate Facebook pages and remove any content that might violate its policies. When Facebook realized they had censored an elbow, they promptly reinstated the photo.

oh and I almost forgot

hahaha

LOL

I just got WARNED BY FB for friend-requesting ppl -- or A person, not sure -- that I don't actually know. I have friend-req'd many ilxors (a few multiple times, by mistake), so if it was you, dear reader, I apologize, and have cio as of now.

lol aww. I think it's maybe because you didn't send messages with the requests so maybe people were confused? I had four separate people ask me who you were a couple weeks ago.

That might be it -- I sent msgs with some req's but not all. In future I will be sure to do so every time.

Also sorry for the inconvenience, ENBB! :(

and ftr:

I AM OW-UHL MAN NEH NEH NEH NEH NEH NEH NEH NEH NEH

Oh, I didn't mind! I'm just saying. :)

Well after all that fuss I made ... due to ~life events~ and such, I'm taking a break from that particular of the net for a while (though I haven't deactivated and intend to return in the nearish future). Mein Gott, the infernal allure of the Book of Face.

that particular realm

Alfred became my friend earlier this week. I win the internet!

oh! now I know who you are, ctrl z. ;)

Hi, Roz! I'm sorry I didn't send you a message with my friend request. I really enjoyed your FB posts, too!

Again: *Terminator voice* I'LL BE BACK

ha it's ok, I figured you were prob an ilxor.

making my cover photo a picture of a castle -- figure people should see something aesthetically pleasing before coming to my wall to post funny videos, music, or to put the feelers out there for still being friends with me/no hard feelings about what happened.

That's nice.

friend of a friend's status update made me want to kick the screen in

"we are now in Sainsbury's, having failed to obtain a parking space at Waitrose"

(note for non-UK ilxor's, Sainsbury's is a middle-class supermarket, Waitrose is an upper-middle-class supermarket")

Note for non-UK ilxors: Waitrose doesn't have staff, but rather partners, who part-own the business and receive (often hefty) bonuses each year based on a share of the profits. Sainsbury's biggest shareholder is the Qatari royal family.

Waitrose staff are genuinely helpful. Once, after buying some prosecco to take to Carnival, I couldn't find plastic cups so one of the cashiers sloped off to their break room, returned with a dozen plastic cups from their water dispenser and just gave them to me with a 'have fun, wish I was going'.

idk what is so offensive about that post beyond the inanity of updating re parking space availability

I wouldn't say it was offensive, just annoying. The implication that they were only in Sainsbury's because they couldn't find a parking space in Waitrose. As if they would never ordinarily go there

but waitrose >>>>>> sainsbos

Some comic defined Sainsbury's as 'the supermarket that keeps the riff-raff out of Waitrose'.

Sounds like initial Facebook poster was navigating the shoppers' paradise known as Finchley Road, where the supermarkets under discussion are roughly two blocks apart.

quiddities and agonizing of navigating (the carparks of) British groceries

Waitrose didn't have orzo but one of the staff told me where he buys it from

facebook, I really cannot begin to tell you how I feel today.

this is how a top developer at FB privately described it:

facebook's new "Poke" iPhone is just sexting.app

you can send photos to a friend on fb, and put an expiration on it so that they can only see the photo for 1, 3, 5, or 10 seconds. then after that it disappears. if you take a screenshot of it the screenshot goes through still, but it *tells the other person* that it was screenshotted. literally the only purpose of this is sexting.

also they stole this idea from that other app that did this but of course it never took off because it wasn't facebook.

expect this to be huge in the coming weeks.

This was other interesting thing gleaned from the topic:

"closing" your account doesn't exist; you can either deactivate or delete your account. if you deactivate your account your data will stay there forever, but you completely disappear from the site until you reactivate. that's the whole point, that you can come back.. a lot of people just want to be off the grid for a while. deleting your account will delete it forever. there's a waiting period of a couple weeks or so, to ensure that someone didn't hack your account and is deleting it for you. after that though it's wiped beyond any useful recognition. a lot of paranoid nuts are like "no way facebook keeps your information forever no matter what" because of some fine print. it's true, but not really. if you understand how systems as big as facebook work, you know it's pretty much impossible to scrub everything clean as if you were never there. some fragments of your information might stick around in, say, old apache access logs, or mysql binlogs, or aggregated info. but the data is "deleted" enough to where if mark zuckerberg himself said "give me all the information we have on this guy" no one would be able to help him.

Think my mate's girlfriend may have just won the award for most banal status update of the year... drumroll... Ladies and gentlemen I give you "Waiting for bus".

Have mercy!

Fun game: if you keep refreshing Facebook it makes it seem like your status bar is interrogating you. "Hows it going? "What's going on?" "Whats happening?" I don't know! Stop asking my questions! I have no information!

The worst of those is "How are you feeling?". As empty as you, blank space. ;_;

Wonder what they're up to today http://live.theverge.com/facebook-see-what-were-building-event/

#pr0tip: if you ever want to make an IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT via status update, DO NOT change your profile photo two minutes before doing so-- everyone will get the photo in their feed and that status update will get buried.
