Visualizing Friendships
An interesting visual map of the 500 million users on Facebook and their connections around the world.
Facebook For iPhone Updated: No iOS 4 Support, No iPad Support, Broken UI
Great article from TechCrunch about how the Facebook for iPhone application has gone downhill fast. They point out issues such as the lack of native iPad support, no iOS4 support, a broken UI, and an unfinished implementation of video viewing. All totally valid points.

Apparently, you’re not.
Joe Hewitt Quits Facebook for iPhone
Joe Hewitt, the well-known Facebook staff member and developer of Facebook for iPhone has decided to leave the project for other ones. He cites Apple’s ridiculous App Store policies as the sole reason he was frustrated to the point of quitting.
Well..that sucks.

An article I just did for DownloadSquad about one of the new features that Facebook unveiled today. The system is a lot like Twitter and is being rolled out to users slowly starting today!
Twitter user turns 104
Such an awesome story about a Twitter user (@IvyBean104) that just turned 104, making her (arguably) Twitter’s oldest user. She has 32,000+ followers and also uses Facebook (where she is also the oldest user) and has reached the 5,000 friend limit.
My Future (Determined by Facebook)
According to http://www.friendshipstats.com I have 432 friends, 312 more than average. 44% are male, 56% are female. 162 are single, 141 are dating or married. If I contracted a deadly variant of flu, I would likely infect 12 people, 2 of whom would die. When I share something on Facebook, it is typically viewed by 27 people. If I died today, an estimated 516 people would try to attend my funeral. Based on my Facebook profile, I have a 92% probability of getting married. I am likely to earn US$2.7 million and have 2.4 children over my lifetime.
Oh and PS…
Putting activist related words as your middle name on Facebook is retarded. No one cares. By putting “equality” as your middle name, do you think people will suddenly change their ways? No. They won’t. Maybe if I make my middle name “fuck off”, people would get the hint.
Same goes for green twitter backgrounds. The iran thing was SO last month.
Facebook Friends
I think it’s time I go through and delete friends I don’t talk to from my Facebook. My rule of thumb has always been, if I don’t talk to you - why would I bother adding you on Facebook? Somehow, random peeps have slipped in behind enemy lines and I really don’t care that so and so wants me to play Farmville with them or that so and so wants to chat!
I realized there’s probably close to 50 people that are still going to high school that I don’t ever plan on evening thinking about. On top of that, there’s all the random people from Syracuse that added me when everyone got accepted - it’s a school of 30,000+ people, as if I would actually meet ANY of them.
Erm…awkward.
