PUBLIC MARKS with tag facebook

Le Télex (Ticker en V.O.) de Facebook est ce petit encart en haut à droite dévoilant l’activité de vos amis en temps réel. Certains le trouvent ennuyeux, encombrant, et pour ces personnes une solution pour Firefox existe : Facebook Ticker Removal.

a promotion for the game Watch Dogs which uses your Facebook data to guess your location, your income, and your passwords. I maintain fairly restrictive privacy settings, and most of the page didn't predict much, but the income prediction was a $20,000 range almost perfectly centered on my actual salary. If that weren't enough, it also combs through your friends to identify which you interact with more than vice versa ("obsessions"), which interact more with you ("stalkers"), and which tag you a lot, spreading your personal information more widely ("liabilities").

Facebook stalking in real life.

An encryption flaw called the Heartbleed bug is already being called one of the biggest security threats the Internet has ever seen. The bug has affected many popular websites and services — ones you might use every day, like Gmail and Facebook — and could have quietly exposed your sensitive account information (such as passwords and credit card numbers) over the past two years.

Most recently, Facebook tweaked the algorithm to bury pictures of cute cats and surface useful news items.

On peut dire que c'est un échec.

Pavlov Poke is a shocking solution to facebook and email addiction

Make breakups suck less by seamlessly removing traces of your ex from your Facebook profile. This app combs through your profile and discreetly removes Pictures, Videos, Wall Posts and Status Updates tagged with your ex.

« WhatsApp est un produit d’extrêmement haute qualité, un réseau de communication très important »

Je la trouve plutôt mal codée sur Windows Phone pourtant. Pour 19 milliards, j'attends quand même vachement mieux qu'une batterie qui se vide en quelques heures d'utilisation.

A l’heure actuelle, il en gagne un million de plus chaque jour. La barre du milliard pourrait donc être passée d’ici moins de deux ans.

C'est beau de se projeter deux ans dans le futur comme ça. Surtout dans ce domaine où il suffit qu'un concurrent plus efficace arrive sur le marché. Allez, Mark, il faut y croire. Tu as déjà les oreilles qui sifflent de toute façon.

Carmen and her mother are close. As far as Carmen’s concerned, she has nothing to hide from her mother so she’s happy to have her mom as her ‘friend’ on Facebook. Of course, Carmen’s mom doesn’t always understand the social protocols on Facebook and Carmen sometimes gets frustrated. She hates that her mom comments on nearly every post, because it “scares everyone away…Everyone kind of disappears after the mom post…It’s just uncool having your mom all over your wall. That’s just lame.” Still, she knows that her mom means well and she sometimes uses this pattern to her advantage. While Carmen welcomes her mother’s presence, she also knows her mother overreacts. In order to avoid a freak out, Carmen will avoid posting things that have a high likelihood of mother misinterpretation. This can make communication tricky at times and Carmen must work to write in ways that are interpreted differently by different people.

Facebook is a complex ecosystem of individuals, creators, brands and advertisers, but I don't think it serves any of these groups particularly well because its top priority is to make money. Now, I don't think making money is a bad thing, in fact I hope to make some myself. The problem is the only way Facebook has found to make money is by treating all entities on the site as advertisers and charging them to share their content.
