This says: "This application ranks your friends based on how often they interact
with your Facebook wall. --------------Interactions counted include wall posts,
comments, likes, gifts and other public items posted to your wall. -----------------We do
NOT count page views or private messages."

SO it does NOT work to check who has simply looked at your profile. There is no way an app can track that. So forget about it. Plus, why the hell would you wanna know that??? You're not that important. You are just a profile on facebook.

Wow what a glowing review!

I absolutely hate it! Loads slow, confusing, no real content immediately visible, just pictures. That's why I don't use Pintrest anymore! No accounting for taste I guess!

I completely agree. It is a real shame the tune wasn't nicer.

Hmmm, that's funny. I actually manage to NEVER visit Facebook, so it most certainly is NOT the Internet; NOT ONCE have I used this Facebook messenger spyware that you mention; I wouldn't be caught dead logging onto other websites with Facebook's greedy spying tool; (I wouldn't think of paying for an overpriced iPad anyway, when there are plenty of better-value alternatives); and I'm leaving my comment here having just used a NON-Facebook profile, since I always avoid any form of Facebook like the privacy-pilfering plague that it is. What you fail to mention is that Facebook's penetration in North America doesn't come anywhere close to the universal presence you suggest with your wild claims -- just a paltry 20% -- so I hardly think you can declare that "we" all use it "to access the online world." Hahahahahahaha. I don't think so. If you've really chosen to make it your "indentity," I'm happy for you that you're drinking the Kool-Aid and comfortable handing your life's record over to the czar of Facebook. Still, that doesn't make us all ZUCKERS.

So Facebook ads will be everywhere within a year, huh? Oh, joy. Just what we all NEED.

I think instead I'll invest in a new computer with plenty of anti-Facebook privacy controls to protect me from all that ADWARE, thank you very much.

Cookies are the internet's oil. They will never die or cease , if people use browsers then it's a fact of life. Whether you you know or are aware of the cookeies existence is another matter. Google + Facebook will garner this too power advertising engines. Esp if signed in. There a new EU directive I believe on informing you of the cookie usage.

If this is damaging their credibility, it is only in the eyes of the people who follow tech news. The average non-techy Twitter user neither knows nor cares, I suspect, about this type of issue because they don't see it as affecting them.

Facebook is NOT the Internet. It has become an annoyance that I tried and finally shut off. As far as I am concerned, Facebook is collecting way too much personal information that can come back to bite them. Product developers and engineers are only human and mistakes will happen when they are pushed too hard to get products out. It is just a matter of time before they have a major security breach.

What is with the new App - Truths About You. How childish is this. It is all about driving traffic and if you are dumb enough to install the app, you will see what it really is. Facebook is playing with your head to get you to try it so you can find out what someone said about you. In my case - I see this "One Truths about You Request" I click to see what it is and I learn it is an App that will receive all my info including my email address. I see the persons name that supposedly said something - and it is someone I really don't know. Never bothered taking it any further. Decided to shut down Facebook - it has become irrelevant to me.

The notion of Facebook being what I log in to, to get to the Internet, other sites or any other destination is a complete farce.

Hi Hunter, I completely agree this isn't an end to their credibility in itself, but it is certainly damaging it and signals a wrong direction that they're taking. If they're moving more into new areas and partnering up with broadcasters then credibility is going to become even more important to them as a platform.

Re: Interviewee rejected because of Klout score

Kevin Gilmartin — Sat, 12 May 2012 04:38:09 -0000

I really have no time for Klout as a measurement of how influential or prolific someone is. It seems to me to be a vehicle for targeting partner offers, and some of the stuff it says I'm influential about is just nonsense.

If was ever going to use such a platform top gauge a person I'd put more faith in their Empire Avenue stats, or Peer Index. Even then I would never reject a candidate based on those stats as they need pretty constant activity just to remain level, never mind increase.

Re: Twitter may have just lost all credibility

Hunter Bickford — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:08:20 -0000

While I agree that it is a troubling precedent, it is not, an end to Twitter's credibility. Twitter is here to stay -- at least in the United States. Television's support of Twitter (#hashtags on a variety of programs, ESPN's live tweeting, and HBO's support are just top of mind) is not going anywhere, which is more than just a vote of confidence.

If you are sharing your content in social media (which you should be!) that content should be mobile friendly. The number of people accessing social media via a mobile device instead of a desktop continues to grow. If they can't enjoy your content on a mobile device, they will stop clicking on it and may stop following you in social media completely.

Erik Vos — Fri, 11 May 2012 07:55:06 -0000

The music is pretty poor and irritating compared to the quality of the stop motion video. The lyrics are of no importance and it sounds like they needed a song to support the movie instead of a movie to support the song. Compliments for the stop motion technique.

Interesting post... I do wonder tho, if Google were to receive the volumes of traffic that Facebook see, would they then start to see lags and issues like the FB app does ??

Re: How Twitter Alienated Me With New Tweetdeck

Brian_R_Allen — Fri, 11 May 2012 04:28:34 -0000

I've been using 0.38.2 since 5 minutes after an insane computer nerd "upgraded" Tweet Deck. But today it autonomously "upgraded" itself into the BOING!-ing black obscenity Twitter's nerd devolved it into. Despite that I have 4 or 5 times since uninstalled both Tweet Deck and Adobe Air and have every time cleaned out any trace of either of those in the Registry, like some kind of aggressively metastasisizing carcinoma and whether I install 0.38.1 or .2, the BOING!-ing black obscenity comes right back.

Unless I can reinstalL and use the Old Yellow Tweet Deck, I'll give Twitter the flick.
