This is an interesting question. Third Party FB apps allow friends to show or hide output on their walls, but with Facebook Places, we are all forced to see every entry.

So what if non-burglar types like my old friend Michael here don’t want to follow my never-ending and always exciting analog adventures on Facebook? Do they have to hide or even completely remove a friend or is Facebook going to give us show/hide control for Places as they have with third party apps?

Spam from Facebook!

This threw me for a moment since my name was in the subject, but the reference is to a friend named Shawn (who also spells the name correctly). I guess since I provided my AIM user name to Facebook (in my profile), they have decided that it’s OK to spam me with this message… about AIM.

I mean, I already have AIM. I think I know how to decide when /if I want to use that service to chat with people online. I like using Facebook to chat with other Facebook users, so I don’t know why they would promote this other than for money.

There’s a nice little opt-out link, so I guess the spam is professionally produced and administered. That’s nice to know anyway.

Did Facebook spam you about AIM?

So, here’s a little Facebook iPhone app bug in Facebook Places (via Shawn Honnick)

Not too major… maybe not even a bug with the app. It could be IOS.I don’t know much about iPhone app development, but I guess it could also be a CSS issue (?)

When checking in, turning the phone so that the screen orientation flips over to landscape, then turning it back to portrait yields what you see here.

Upcoming movie to focus on, embarrass Facebook’s Zuckerberg « Boy Genius Report

removepoke:

Produced by Kevin Spacey, “The Social Network” portrays Zuckerberg (played by 26-year old Jesse Eisenberg) as a drunk satyriatic whose creation of the popular social networking site was spurred on by heartbreak after his girlfriend dumped him at the age of 19. The film also alleges that Zuckerberg was heavily motived by sexual insecurity. After hitting rock bottom and dropping out of Harvard, the film sees Zuckerberg move to the Silicon Valley with where he “indulge his fantasies with a stream of ‘groupies’” while his partner and Napster co-founder Sean Parker (played by Justin Timberlake) watches after the site. The Social Network is scheduled for release this October.

This doesn’t really work! It doesn’t “fix” the first and fifth items. Of course, you kinda want these things on for the whole FB experience anyway.

Bottom line? If it’s something you don’t want people to know, DON’T PUT IT ON THE INTERNET.

Oh hell yes.

Block those “apps” people keep posting to your wall if you don’t like them. Just look for the link below the post and you’ll completely block that particular “app” from being posted to your wall.

Of course, a new one will be developed in the next three minutes. But the good news is once someone posts it to your wall… you can block that one with the same move.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually needed a dream catcher. I don’t even know if I would know what to do with one if I had one, but I don’t want one… and if I did, I would want a real one, not some digital mock-up!

I mean, who knows if that thing would even work anyway?

The sad fact is that these applications are susceptible to malware pushers and those looking to steal your personal information. It’s not much of a stretch for hackers to impersonate people you think are trusted, fellow players, as is the case with a lot of online gaming. And the more you expose yourself, the bigger the target you become.
