New Elsinore Album Out!

...And Facebook thought that I wouldn't know, even though I'm a fan of Elsinore on Facebook, so they helpfully suggested it.

 

Good try, Facebook, I'm all over it!

[You should probably be checking out their new album right freaking now]

Blur vs Oasis on Facebook

Hey, Facebook, thanks for bringing the mid nighties!

Facebook should do things like this

Apparently its old, but I'm maintaining its a good one. There has been plenty written about it.

There's even a study that says facebook contributes to relationship jealousy. That even if you're happy and moved on with someone else, seeing an ex in the same state of bliss can lead to a resurgence of jealousy.

So Facebook? Remind us that we're about to do something harmful, to ourselves. Save us from ourselves.

This Girl Loves The Collage

Facebook status collage, that is.

More oversharing:



Similar, of course, to my tweet cloud.

The one that makes me happiest? When I got unofficially offered the job I have now, I went home and updated my status to, "ZOMG HIRED?!?!?!??!?"

My Least Fave Facebook Ad [Paranoid (Ex)Girlfriends]

So, at some point in the past, Facebook decided to go with ads that were targeted to the person viewing them.

Which, I kind of understand. Except that I've been getting this ad:



Facebook thinks that I'm a super jealous girlfriend who needs to confirm her paranoia. Excellent.

Thanks, Facebook!

My Most Popular Post - Facebook Gold Accounts Hoax

My visitor numbers have recently spiked pretty drastically. They are all going to one post- which I wrote after someone tagged me with a picture that said something to the effect of "This requires a Facebook Gold Account to view."

Rather than ask the person who tagged me what was up, I googled "Facebook Gold Account" frantically. Nothing of substance came up. I still didn't ask the person who tagged me in the suspect photo. Mostly, I didn't want to appear behind the times. Instead, I took to my blog in a "WTF???" post.

Since then the post has been edited to say, "EDIT: Just an elaborate hoax. No jumping sharks here."

It is my (tiny) contribution to the internets, I suppose. I felt like the hoax should have been over the second I knew the truth, but it seems as though most people are being secretive about this. After all, my post is the only relevant item in the first page of Google Searches.

What is the point, anyway, of creating a Facebook hoax? It caused me confusion, wondering when I had ever danced in front of a camera as the caption indicated. I even blogged about the wonder. But that was it. I didn't delete my facebook account, I didn't wonder for hours on end, and I didn't untag myself from the picture. When it was explained by the person who tagged me, she seemed almost embarrassed she had done it. So what's the point?

[Edit: What made my curiosity go away? My friend admitted that she just created an album full of "This requires a Facebook Gold Account to view" pictures and tagged a bunch of people. Hoax.]

Facebook Gold Accounts still causing a ruckus?

If you can believe this digg comment, its a hoax.

What is this facebook gold business?? There isn't any good information online about Facebook Gold Accounts, so all I've got is this digg article.

At least someone knows a little about what's going on. Google isn't turning up anything...

Edit: Just an elaborate hoax. No jumping sharks here.
