Facebook is broken

[yanpa]

Every few days I get a plaintive missive from Zuckerberg asking if I know a bunch of names I vaguely recall from past decades but probably wouldn't recognize the owner if we passed on the street... but recently I think their algorithm has jumped the shark and is coming up with names which sound like they've been pulled out of a random generator.

No, I do not know "Silvana SecretBatgirl".

Sorry, but could someone explain to me what Facebook is?!?

[yanpa]

It's sort of a book of faces, but online. More something for the older generation, the hip youngsters are all into swapping Vines on Line or something, so I hear.

Meanwhiled, from Inked-in (the social network for tattooed people), it seems I share a mutual connection with a "Seasoned digital contents and online advertising professional", whatever that is.

Consider yourself lucky, these days I'm supposed to befriend Apu's whole family (all miliunz of them), Pakis and a bunch of cave dwellers from Dirkastan...

Wasn't there a theory that everyone is related to everything by three degrees of separation or some such? So you might as well know anyone, which saves Fecebook the cost and hassle of cranking their database for you.

The feature can be tunred off, in case you were not aware..

And I'm pretty sure there is a way to set the clock on the rice cooker. But in both case I use them so little that it aint worth the hassle...

I use them so little that it aint worth the hassle...

Yes, but no matter how much or little I use it, I don't care for a hundred e-mails a day telleing me about the exciting and wonderful things that happen, while I am not there and whose acquaintance's acquaintance I have yet to befriend

[Coligny]

I remember the days in the 90' when every email received was like christmass...

Unlike today where my inbox has 1558 unread items... That are not even spam... But stuff i'm actually supposed to read/care aboot...

Yikes, that reminds me - this year will be my 20th year of e-mail in Japan (I worked at a software company/ISP in '94, and yes, getting an e-mail was a pretty rare occurrence).

Facebook a big contributor to the committees in Congress that will question Mark Zuckerberg

[...]
The congressional panel that got the most Facebook contributions is the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which announced Wednesday morning it would question Zuckerberg on April 11.

[...]

Of the 55 members on the Energy and Commerce Committee this year, all but nine have received Facebook contributions in the past decade

Best democracy, money can buy, no kidding...

This is my Facebook timeline for the last two weeks or so:

Looks like all my friends and acquaintances have left Facebook, they still show up on my friends list, though. Or maybe it is just a case of "if it costs nothing, it's worth nothing".

Yes, cache and cookies deleted.

Anyone else with something like that?

Mark Zuckerberg is struggling to explain why Breitbart belongs on Facebook News

On Friday morning, Facebook announced its plan to spend millions of dollars on high-quality journalism, fueling the launch of a new dedicated news tab on its platform. CEO Mark Zuckerberg joined News Corp CEO Robert Thomson for an interview soon after, and Thomson hammered home the need for objective journalism in the age of social media, waxing nostalgic about the importance of rigorous fact-checking in his early career.

An hour later, however, Zuckerberg struggled to explain how Facebook’s most controversial new partner fits into its mission.

Facebook News is partnering with a variety of regional newspapers and some major national partners, including USA Today and The Wall Street Journal. But as The New York Times and Nieman Lab report, its “trusted” sources also include Breitbart, a far-right site whose co-founder Steve Bannon once described it as a platform for the white nationalist “alt-right.” Breitbart has been criticized for repeated inaccurate and incendiary reporting, often at the expense of immigrants and people of color. Last year, Wikipedia declared it an unreliable source for citations, alongside the British tabloid Daily Mail and the left-wing site Occupy Democrats.

That’s led to questions...

Who has still questions about Facebook?

[matsuki]

Who logs onto facebook for news?

Who logs onto facebook for news?

I don't even have an account there.

This is why...

By 2007, a year after the Island Forum meeting that included Gilman Louie, Facebook received its second round of $12.7 million worth of funding from Accel Partners. Accel was headed up by James Breyer, former chair of the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) where Louie also served on the board while still CEO of In-Q-Tel. Both Louie and Breyer had previously served together on the board of BBN Technologies — which had recruited ex-DARPA chief and In-Q-Tel trustee Anita Jones.Facebook’s 2008 round of funding was led by Greylock Venture Capital, which invested $27.5 million. The firm’s senior partners include Howard Cox, another former NVCA chair who also sits on the board of In-Q-Tel. Apart from Breyer and Zuckerberg, Facebook’s only other board member is Peter Thiel, co-founder of defense contractor Palantir which provides all sorts of data-mining and visualization technologies to US government, military and intelligence agencies
