Naughty Facebook

Yesterday i accepted a Facebook friend request from a guy at work. Those of you familiar with how one accepts a friend request see if you can spot the obvious mistake…

Here’s how it happened:

1. I clicked on the friend requests box which was blinking a red friend request notification at me. There were four requests

Much improved Google image search

Google just improved their image search feature.

Wow! It is awesome. Try it – features include enlarging the images on mouseover (removing the old need for page reload) and infinite scrolling (similar to your Facebook Newsfeed) so you don’t need to page through and wait for the next page to load.

Time saving is massive – and you no longer need to click view full size image – it knows you want to do that so shows you automagically!

WIN for Google.

What have Trinny and Susannah got to do with Social Media?

Yesterday i saw an excerpt from the next installment of Trinny and Susannah: What they did next which was very funny.

The episode is filmed at the offices of Nudge Social Media who were hoodwinked into taking part in a documentary in which Trinny and Susannah help consistently unlucky job applicants to find their feet in their chosen industry.

Isner and Mahut: A prisoner’s dilemma

John Isner and Nicholas Mahut are fighting an epic battle today in Wimbledon and The World’s longest ever game of tennis. It was halted last night at 59-59 in the final set.

Sunday 20th June 2010

The star of course walked in to the Dare offices in Soho yesterday (that’s right, on a Sunday) at about 18:50: Mr Mark Zuckerberg.

The British press can be very unfair; and as humans we have a tendency to submit to tall poppy syndrome. As a result you’d be forgiven for having read several articles on the web and been led into believing that Mark is “arrogant” or “dismissive”, “out of touch” or “out of his depth”. Let me say for the record

Facebook removes the @ feature?

Until last week I was able to use the @ sign in my Facebook status to link directly to a Facebook Friend or a Facebook Page (Facebook Pages are still known to most as a ‘Fanpage’). This feature is known as Tagging your status and posts.

Yesterday i logged in to Facebook and was pleased to see the newly updated Facebook Homepage – screenshot below.
