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

i have mh's postal address, if anyone wants me to post it, just let me know

I'm almost sure he once posted a google street view of his house.

I have gr80's... ah shit he's moving

Here's my house, btw: http://goo.gl/maps/LKQOY

*bows* very good, sir

Not related to FB, but w/r/t phones with check-in features or "allow location services" for apps:

When Mrs. Broccoli and I were on a long drive, we had a guess about how we thought google maps traffic function worked.

All I can say is that we both felt very, very naive after we learned the truth.

aliens?

russians?

Number of people using Google Maps in an area, compensate for the number of people who typically are using Maps out of average traffic, tada... traffic!

NFI what I was on about with that last post hahaha holy shit I was drunk.

hi trayce

This is everywhere today http://actualfacebookgraphsearches.tumblr.com/

Anybody else get notice about this class action? http://www.fraleyfacebooksettlement.com/

yes I got a spammy email abt it

It's real but doesn't pay out if too many people opt in.

I deactivated and reactivated my account three times last friday and now most people can see my site but a lot of close friends cant. I sent Facebook an email but they're not great at getting back. Any tips on how get it back running properly again? I dont want to have to delete my account.

O my God socialfixer is one cool add-on. Just the hiding of posts is worth the price of admission (0.0¢)

this sounds really cool - http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2013/03/07/facebook_redesign_new_newsfeed_is_morning_newspaper_to_twitter_s_cnn.html

i'd love to get all my news thru fb - esp would be cool if you could do super detailed 'google alert' type feeds; but i'm probably hoping for an rss killer when i'm just going to get another lousy fb design update

does nobody else think it's weird that Facebook totally changes their whole strategy and redesigns everything about twice a year?

it makes sense to me. they should keep trying to redesign it until they design something enjoyable to use

am totally cool with the option to only see updates from friends, i really do not care that much about what's going on in the life of meat loaf

i realised some years ago that it's just someone's job to redesign things. that's all they do, just change stuff. whether the changes are for the best nobody seems to mind (or, at best, can't tell how good they are until after the work's all done by which time there are lots of costs already incurred). see kde4, gnome3, windows ribbon etc etc.

I love the Windows ribbon (now that I know where everything is).

idk, it's been two years since facebook did a major redesign and social networking use patterns and trends have changed significantly since then

still miss "becoming a fan"

I miss "how do you know this person"
"We hooked up"

i definitely do not miss that

Remember when the news feed was just a small box at the middle of your profile and everybody flipped their shit over how creepy that was? Circa like 2007? A more innocent time.

i don't

gonna search for an evolution of facebook YT now, need the nostalgia

i've had graph search for a while but never actually thought to use it... and now that i've tried it a bit holy shit is it creepy. i'm sure stalkers all over the world must have rejoiced when they started using it. even though i know facebook's privacy settings have always been shit and def badly set up by most people, it's still shocking what you can find and how easy it is to do so.

not too many people are going to use it for what facebook wants us to use it for i think

what does facebook want ppl to use it for? cos i'm pretty sure it'll become the world's most used stalking tool. also if they're planning on becoming a dating site it could work, just look for singles in your area, specify age bracket & some interests and off you go.

Facebook Graph is just the return and expansion of the "browse" feature that I remember being on the site when I got on in 2007. They got rid of it around 2009 I believe.

Facebook advantage as a dating site is the authentication process with people. The interests you have marked on your FB are going to be more legit than ones you quickly put down on another site to impress people, you have a built in history on the site with friends and employer. People, especially women, would be less afraid that they're dealing with an known unknown -- to quote eHarmony's D. Rumsfeld -- when they talk to strangers.

The lack of anonymity on FB also means people will be less sleazy and more cautious -- you can goof around on a dating site and never look back, but people don't want their FB account to be stained with their sleazy pick-up attempts being out there (not when their employer information is on the same web page).

plus you can see what is likely their government name so you can look up their criminal record

Getting mighty sick of "<person/page you don't know or like> is talking about <something you like>" all over my newsfeed.

all the promoted advertisements on my iphone feed are all weight loss and it's making me INSANE

Women! Why don't they lose some weight!

"Hi, my name is...Slim Shady," the site's creator wrote on its "About Me" page, referencing an Eminem song released that same year. "No, really, my name is Slim Shady. Just kidding, my name is Mark.
