"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

Blocking is the way to go. No half measures.

Is it still keeping up with your friends if you systematically ignore everything they do? I don't block people but I find myself constantly clicking that X to hide Farmville/Frontierville/Mob Wars/iLike/Daily Horoscope/Which Irritating Facebook Application Are You?

isn't there an actual hide button for those apps that let you never see them again? or is that what you're talking about?

That "x" button will hide an entire application. That way you only ever have to see Farmville one time, x it and rid yourself of it forever. Until the next annoying application comes about...

I was trying to find ways to hide certain people, but I couldn't, so I just culled them instead

how do you un-hide someone from yr news feed?

Maybe try liking something by them?

b-b-but i don't like anything

ironic

Yes that's what I meant. There seems to be a new annoying thing that needs hiding every other day.

stfu alanis xp

songs wouldn't be so angsty if you were a little nicer tbh

anyway i've done it myself, no thanks to your mid-90s alt-rock stylings

i inspired millions fyi. and am still ws material in 2010.

shame about that thing you said about chinese people the other day tho

that was a misunderstanding about acceptable usages of the southern USA dialect. i got nothin to hide.

how do you un-hide someone from yr news feed?

On the main feed page scroll all the way down to the bottom. Under the feed there is a link that says "edit options". If you click there a box comes up and you can type in friends names and hide or unhide them from the feed.

thanks, i got there in the end. didn't approve of facebook 'helpfully' extending the feed off the page as i tried to click the button tho

funny

I just had a friend request from what looks suspiciously like some kind of elaborate spambot profile, complete with the same university & graduation year as me and a smattering of similar interests, but there's something decidely dubious about it.

facebook down for anyone else?

Service Unavailable - DNS failure!

This is it guys! The end of the world is upon us!

'we don't crash' - mark zuckybro in this one film i saw

COINCIDENCE?

viral campaign for the social network movie.

"Want yr Facebook? SEE IT IN THEATERS FRIDAY"

and this same day zuckerberg gave away $100million. coincidence??

And during the same hour Ahmadinejad was speaking live on tv.

Drudge says Obama has been moved to an undisclosed bunker until this passes.

An excellent idea.

Drudge says Obama has been moved to an undisclosed bunker until this passes.

And Biden announced he was in command.

And it's back.

Obama is about to give his "I'm glad to see you on the other side of a disaster" press conference ala Morgan Freeman at the end of "Deep Impact"

it comes back and goes again, poor show

gone gone gone. for me, still. heh.

this is bigger than 9/11

Facebook users have been seeing the site go on and offline Thursday. The company issued a statement but gave no explanation as to the cause:

We’re currently experiencing some site issues causing Facebook to be slow or unavailable for some users. We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

The downtime also affected sites that incorporate Facebook’s “Like” buttons and the Facebook Connect service. In place of the “Like” button, many Web sites were scattered with empty white boxes.

Facebook’s developer Web site remained live during the outage and noted that the company was experiencing problems with its API. A statement on the site said:

Current Status: API Latency Issues

We are currently experiencing latency issues with the API, and we are actively investigating. We will provide an update when either the issue is resolved or we have an ETA for resolution.
