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

Hundreds of messages from someone I haven't seen (and thankfully am thousands of miles from) in 6 years. Also free tickets to a show last November.

ok wait - that is a lot weirder than mine which are all creepy dudes commenting on my pictures of guys in africa telling me about my unclaimed money

That actually sounds pretty weird unless you meant "or" instead of "of", but yeah, i had hoped that this person would have lost their fixation on me but apparently I have some sort of totemic significance for this person. I guess if my unresponsive continuing existence is helpful I don't mind too much.

hahahaha yes that should have been an "or"

turns out you can passive-aggressively like a facebook post

son, you got no idea of the levels of this shit

'specially for the ladies

stuff like this is part of the "fun" of facebook

fucking facebook has started being 'coy' about what it's showing me. You go to 'newsfeed' and neither 'top stories' nor 'most recent' are ticked. I still have to change it to 'most recent'.

For me, "like" button broken down into specific emojis = SB changed to FP. I'm less inclined to use it.

guess now i have to go back thru every post i ever Liked and update it with the correct emoji to avoid potential embarrassment

they also look ugly

bad idea. sign of a degenerate society.

time was you could emotionlesly like a post in the streets

Wow.

They look like a buzzfeed article, its horrible.

really love the bet-hedging house style Facebook has originated for its "trending" "news items", e.g.

is it wrong to feel kinda sorry for these two unfortunates? (especially the one who didn't actually write the "suck my cock" post but just commented on it?)

Woke up, hung over. Piecing together what happened last night, a had a few too many, but I don't think it was that bad. Getting my phone, checking facebook. The first message is from myself, from today, saying 'whooooaaaah-ooooh!!! Lost my phone last night. Goodbye everyone, keep safe!!!' and then I posted California by Phantom Planet. And I'm like, wtf, how drunk was I??? Turns out there's a small text in the corner 'remember this day six years ago?' and it's from my going away party when I moved to San Diego.

Fuck you facebook, for confusing me and reminding me how much of a loser I used to be.

lol

Because people on my and my husband's facebook have at some point 'liked' Habitat and Amazon, we are seeing on our own feeds 'recommendations' of things the other has been browsing. A Habitat photo frame I was looking at as part of his Christmas present came up on his feed and bike locks on Amazon came up on mine.

This is some bullshit. Now we know it does this we'll know what each other has been looking at! Way to ruin relationships Christmas, facebook.
I have the FB purity blocker thing but this isn't even categorised as an ad.

Man, trying to create a page and tack on some events used to be easy. Now it's like the hardest thing in the world to do. Thanks Facebook, nobbers.

However, I think what she likes about Facebook is that it is relatively closed off to the outside world, whereas I don't generally care what yahoos have a gander at my drunken photos.

Lol irony reading this now.

"The previously unreported actions by Myanmar’s military on Facebook are among the first examples of an authoritarian government using the social network against its own people."

All of this reads like a more extreme, but familiar, version of what's happening in the U.S.:

RIP

hold me

It really says something when you go to a site out of habit and then breathe a sigh of relief when it's down.

Don’t think of it as goodbye, think of it as... ello

fb'd u for that

Not down for me at all btw, you guys are all gone cause they’ve finally done the purge

already back for me :/

In January 2013, one of Mr. Zuckerberg’s lieutenants emailed him with news about Twitter, one of Facebook’s biggest competitors. The company had introduced a video-sharing service called Vine, which allowed users to create and post six-second video clips.

When new users signed up for Vine, they were given the option of following their Facebook friends — a feature enabled through Facebook’s application program interface, or API. This feature was widely used, and had become a valuable tool for new apps to accelerate user growth. But in Vine’s case, Facebook played hardball.

“Unless anyone raises objections, we will shut down their friends API access today,” wrote the lieutenant, Justin Osofsky, now a Facebook vice president.

Mr. Zuckerberg, the chief executive, replied: “Yup, go for it.”

hmm u don't say

These emails reveal that in the formative years of Facebook’s growth, the company’s executives were ruthless and unsparing in their ambition to collect more data from users, extract concessions from developers and stamp out possible competitors.

obviously nothing is shocking here but the gory details.....sure are gory and detailed

fun fact: no-one ever became a billionaire through scrupulously even-handed business practices

it's almost like amassing ungodly sums of money might be.. evil?

hmm, makes u think
