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

like most email clients already give you a bit of the message and its pretty invaluable right

xpost it's like they invented some way of previewing the message

"Tired of not having enough energy to get your sex on? For only $59.99 we'll sell four bottles--" tells me more about the e-mails contents than any subject could.

"Can I delete an individual message from a conversation?

At this time, you cannot delete an individual message from a conversation. You can, however, archive or permanently delete an entire conversation."

Wow

there goes my job in UK data entry.

"At this time you cannot delete individual files from your computer. You can, however, choose to set your laptop on fire and then throw it in the pool."

my pool is dead my clouds are free.

Wait, there's more!

Will applications be able to message me through the new Facebook Messages?

When you use an application, that application must request permission to message you through Facebook.

The new Facebook Messages also gives you a variety ways to control which messages actually reach you.

It goes against Facebook policy for developers to access Facebook information without permission, including usernames or user IDs. That said, we know that we can’t prevent this in every case. Some things to keep in mind:

* Facebook aggressively prosecutes spammers.
* Facebook employs sophisticated spam-prevention systems.
* New Messages gives you ways to control which messages reach you.
* Setting up a Facebook email address is optional.

so the short answer is "of course they can."

I hope there is an app so spammers can send this junk straight to my phone.

i want facebook to be able to text me with all my friends' daily horoscopes and tarot readings

feel like 'apps' is where facebook has fucked up the worst and they should just start over

we should build this into ILXAPI so that all your friends get "Your friend posted an answer on ILX! Post your answer now!" or "Your friend SBd l0u1s jagg3r! Why not SB someone now?" messages 24/7

Wonder if they're relying on the computer-illiterate texting their friends via some FB shortcode phone service instead of via IM as a means to make this thing profitable?

Would happily give out a FB number that ppl could text to get me. SMS being linked to exactly one handset is shit

like my google voice number, except with more farmville.

wendy wants you to water her crops

is this a booty call or

*throws phone in the ocean*

Hello pastor! Im from South Africa and I hope that you can help me. I am really scared. I have just learned that someone is using witchcraft on me and that my first name isnt really mine. The name was passed down to me after birth coz she had passed and she was a witch and wants her name back,but its not that easy . Th...e problem is that these people are tryna ruin my life. I was once happy,but now my life is a burden-even to me. I know that suicide is not an option,but I cant help thinking that it is probably best. I know that God loves me-He really is all I have-but with all thats taken place,sometimes I wonder. I dont know what it is that I want you to say,bt thanx 4 taking the time to read

loool

really <3ing Sean Parker's self-description

# About Me:

The pic at left is from my Charlie Rose appearance. At risk of being immodest, I'll leave the descibing to others:

Rolling Stone called me 'animated and cerebral.' The RIAA told the 9th Circuit that I was 'a fox guarding the hen-house.' Eminem called me, and this is a direct quote, 'a little bitch.' The ever-whiny Scott Stapp from Creed claimed I was 'stealing bread from his children's mouths.'

And last but not least, Jonathan Abrams, the founder of Friendster, said I look like Kevin Bacon. How ironic.

and it's amusing to me just how much the movies and music sections are of their era (mid-2004).

Favorite Music:

the smiths, joy division, old U2, the notwist, sigur ros, the shinns, atmosphere, the cure, franz ferdinand, muse, postal service, the faint, jeff buckley, belle & sebastian, dave matthews, radiohead, bjork, thievery corporation, lamb, hotel costes, air, zero 7, emiliana torrini

Goodnight, sweet indie rock consensus monoculture...those were your last days. "Funeral" got a 9.7 and then gone done died.

I DONT MIND STEALING BREAD

Sean Parker, the guy who revolutionized music piracy on the internet, reppin for the corny indie rock in 2004.

SMH, "we blew it" indeed

This younger Zuckerberg listed "Asian girls" amid other interests like programming, playing guitar, quoting Top Gun and "defeating nemeses." It's unlikely Zuckerberg's present girlfriend, medical school student and fellow Harvard alum Pricilla Chan, would have found that bit of naked fetishization particularly charming,

LOL I love how this assumes his gf wont have seen this profile, wtf. If they can find it she'd know it exists.

it's taken the entire world seven years to notice; since she got together with him later in 2003, she may have managed to do this over several months of IRL meeting without feeling the need to see if he had profiles on every single dating site out there at the time

Facebook doesn't seem to want me to create new photo albums. Swear there used to be a little button to do this above your existing albums.

_____ ________ wants to know who came up with Black Friday? Isn't it kind of racist in 2010? Maybe we should call it "Precious" Friday instead.......:)~13 hours ago

'O' the people who'll friend you! The status update you'll read!

Wait, I assume black friday is something else in the US? It refers to bushfire deaths here.

i think it is like boxing day sales except after thanksgiving instead of xmas

o yeah thats right it is too.

Yeah, Thanksgiving falls on a Thursday, which is a national holiday, and people traditionally have Friday off, too, and then go and ruin a perfectly good day off by going to the mall to do all of their Christmas shopping.

but why "black"?

Because of the 4 am trampling deaths at Wal-Marts.

Okay, not really, but I don't have a serious answer for that question.

Amazon have just introduced Black Friday in UK. On a Monday.

When profit charts are made, going into the "red" means you're losing money and black numbers mean you're showing a profit.

Since the Friday after Thanksgiving is traditionally the most profitable of the day for retailers, it's called Black Friday.
