Now this is an odd bug, if I’ve ever heard of one. Apparently, thousands of female Facebook users have been attempting to log on, only to find their accounts deactivated. Spooky. And this has been going on for a few days, too. Said Facebook user Valerie L to Huffington Post of the bug: “It said my Gmail address was not associated with any Facebook account.” How… suspicious, considering the feud between Google and Facebook of late. “I just tried to get onto my Facebook account with my Gmail email address,” adds Marian B. “[It's] the only one I have used since I got on Facebook …and it said I could not.”…

According to TechCrunch, Facebook has sent out invitations to a media event on November 15th, where Mark & Friends will reveal ‘Project Titan’ – what is expected to be a web-based email client, allowing users to register @facebook.com email addresses. Apparently, TechCrunch says that Project Titan is internally referred to as the ‘Gmail killer’. And the plot thickens, and Facebook and Google continue to be grouchy at each other, and the world continues to turn. Honestly, would you want an @facebook email account? Is that more, or less cheap-sounding than Hotmail?…

Surely you’ve had that roommate. You know the one. The one that leaves passive-aggressive notes on the fridge about how nice it would be if someone would do the dishes, and stuff. The worst, right? Google is that roommate. Perhaps threatened by Facebook being… well, being Facebook, Google has posted a new alert to users attempting to import their contact data. Check it out. Ouch. ‘Trap my contacts’? Can we go over a couple of things, Google? Firstly, er… Facebook DOES let you export your data. In fact, with a single click, you can download your entire profile. If you ask me, that counts as ‘control…

Starting very soon, you won’t be able to import all of your Gmail contacts in one shot into your Facebook account. Looks like Google is a little miffed at Facebook for not making tools available to let the information flow both ways; Google wants the ability to import Facebook friends and use other Facebook data as it wants to, like Facebook can now use Google’s data. Facebook will not be the only company to get the axe from the mighty Google; any company that does not let information flow both ways will be denied access to account information. “We have decided to change our approach slightly to reflect…

Many of you may be aware, and even more of you mayn’t be, that I’m a huge Lamebook fan. While some Lamebook posts are cheesy, others comprise what is truly some of the greatest unintentional comedy on the web – some people just don’t know what to and to not share on Facebook. But Facebook isn’t laughing. Remember Teachbook, the poster boy for Facebook’s campaign against all websites ending in ‘-book’? Yeah. Yeah, we’re going into that again. Seems Facebook has been threatening Lamebook this time to halt its shameless lampoon of the social network. Allegedly, the threats have been happening since…

Today wasn’t so incredibly different from any other day: I woke up, I ate breakfast, I checked my RSS feeds, I logged into Facebook, Facebook told me I should vote, Facebook told me some of my friends had already voted, and Facebook told me that over 2.2 million other Facebook users voted. Okay, so today is election day — Facebook is making that fact well known — but could Facebook be one of the most powerful motivators to get out and vote? Maybe! At the time of this writing, 2,202,404 people have already told Facebook that they have gone out and voted, and we can’t help but wonder how many of those 2.2…

Hey, you know Facebook’s ‘Photo Memories?’ Do you have the same problem I have, where every single one seems to be from the same album, featuring the same person (or two people)? What’s the deal with that – like, beyond an algorithm that determines with whom you interact most? Do you like that person (or people)? What if you don’t? Y’know, anymore? What if you just had a nasty breakup with that (those) person (people)? Seeing their face in the sidebar refresh after refresh is probably pretty painful. Facebook is now taking steps to deal with this. According to Inside Facebook, Facebook will no longer…

No one ever accused Trent Reznor of being anything less than tech-savvy, and his recent scoring of The Social Network is a shining contribution to the social networking sphere at large. I’m not sure if that sentence makes total sense, but I’m listening to said score as I type this, and it’s a hell of a sexy beast. Anyhow, Reznor recently rapped with Drowned in Sound about the film, his score, and Facebook in general, and had some (un)surprisingly snarky things to say about Zuck and his claim to fame. “Facebook is a good idea, I guess. Certainly, I don’t really use it that much, but it has got me closer to…

Facebook. It’s in our cell phones, it’s mentioned in our television shows, it’s featured in our Hollywood movies, and it’s all over the Web. It’s everywhere! In fact, Facebook could be considered one of the great, if not greatest, social innovations since the creation of the Internet. However, would you believe it if I said that this was Mark Zuckerberg’s plan all along? “We’re going to change the world,” said Mark Zuckerberg in the early days of Thefacebook. He had just begun to believe that Thefacebook could be more than just another side project. But this is not where the story began. It began…

Another day, another shipment of new Facebook features. But today is unlike any other day. Today, said features even dare make sense. Assuming you’re an avid status updater, you’re likely quick to gripe about your limited ability to control who sees what – perhaps you don’t want coworkers knowing how high you are. But I’m not here to judge. But lucky for you: this is a think of the past! Raps Zuckerberg in a fashion most gangsta: “We’ve long heard that people would find Facebook more useful if it were easier to connect with smaller groups of their friends instead of always sharing with everyone they…
