Feisbuk Is Just Like Facebook, Except Analog and In Spanish

You know what, this analog version of facebook looks a lot cleaner and more user friendly than the real deal. Besides, there is still something to be said for putting pen to paper. Unfortunately for those that prefer an old school form of data entry, the design is only a concept. [Laura Balboa via This…

The Greatest Use For AT&T Display Phone

Activated display phones in AT&T stores are fun. You can send dirty text messages to strangers or make long-long-long distance calls. What this individual did is far better than any prank though: He donated money to Haiti on AT&T’s behalf. I’m assuming that this person donated $10 at a time by texting HAITI to 90999.…

Facebook’s Universal Password and Other Unsettling Insider Info

This interview with an anonymous Facebook employee spills some beans about the inner workings of the ‘book. One of the juiciest is that there was once a universal password that let them log in as anyone. Chuck Norris? Really? To be fair, the password only worked from within the Facebook offices, so you couldn’t just…

Twitter/Facebook Integrating Internet Radio Tells Your Social Networks That You Buy Stupid Things

Witness convergence in its dumbest form: the Pure internet radio that has Facebook and Twitter integrated right in. You know, for when the world needs to know that you’re really fiscally irresponsible. Do you know what else is an internet radio with the ability to post to Facebook and Twitter? Any computer with speakers. And…

Peek Sort of Getting Facebook

The Peek will get Facebook updates via email soon. That makes it somewhat more useful, I think, than twitterpeek. But how about a peek that does the full web so you can check out twitter and facebook and email and all the links there? Oh wait, that’s a smartphone. [Peek via Engadget]

Say hello to Craig Lynch. He’ll give you the finger. The police has been hunting him since he escaped from prison last September, and now he’s using Facebook to taunt them. He seems like a very charming man: About me: You’ll have a laugh with me but it will end in tears. It always does…

AT&T’s Warped View of the Internet

Did you know? Unless you have a 3Mbps internet connection, you can’t use Facebook. Without 12Mbps internet, you can’t even email files! And just forget streaming video without at least 18Mbps internet. Welcome to the internet, according to AT&T. This chart for AT&T U-Verse internet makes no sense whatsoever. For one, what’s the difference between…

What Would Books About Twitter, Wikipedia and YouTube From The 1960s Look Like?

Fortunately we don’t have to think too hard about what they’d look like, because French artist Stéphane Massa-Bidal has designed a series of book covers for 10 of our favourite web services. Massa-Bidal sells some of his designs on his online store, but these terrific book covers aren’t available just yet. Perhaps if we all…

The orangutan, named Nonja, uses a Samsung ST 1000 point-and-shoot that automatically uploads the photos. When this post was published, Nonja had over 9,000…

Husband and Wife Update Facebook and Twitter at the Altar

You know it’s a brave new world when bride and groom update their Facebook status, and tweet about it. At the freaking altar. As they were being pronounced husband and wife. And with “brave” I really mean “f*cking dumb.” That’s what Dana Hanna—the guy in the video aka “theSoftwareJedi” aka “Ican’tbelieveit’sbutterandI’mgettingmarried”—did, without his bride knowing…

Facebook Linked to Middle School Redhead Beating

The beating of a 12-year-old redheaded boy this past Friday is linked to two of the favorite punching bags of those unwilling to directly blame the jerk kids responsible: Facebook and South Park. The boy, who attends middle school in Southern California, is the victim of a beating that seems to stem from a Facebook…

“Unfriend” Declared Word of the Year

The New Oxford American Dictionary declared “Unfriend” the word of the year. It beat out hashtag, netbook and sexting, among other nominated words. Oxford defines the verb as: “To remove someone as a ‘friend’ on a social networking site such as Facebook.” I think they should include offline usage, too, like when you stop calling…
