Dear Gowalla, it’s time to delete my account.

Assuming CNN report is accurate about Facebook acquiring Gowalla, it’s time to delete my Gowalla account.

John Gruber is being snarky as always.

Reasons number (2π+f) not to like Facebook, contact-exporting tools are blocked.

very — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 10:02:12 +0000

Facebook is apparently blocking contact-exporting tool as reported by CNET and ZDNet. Does anyone remember when you first created a Facebook account, you were asked to upload your address book, be it from Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, etc? That’s one way Facebook created a tailored Social Network around you. In time you want to export all the contacts info from Facebook to other service such as the newly launched Google+, Facebook is saying no.

I do not know the details on Facebook contact-exporting policy because I got rid off my account a while ago. This is one more reason why I’m glad I no longer have a Facebook account.

There can be only one Mark Zuckerberg, can’t it?

Bad news if:

Your real name is Mark Zuckerberg
You are not the founder of Facebook
You want to use Facebook

Los Angeles Times reports that Facebook disables account of attorney Mark S. Zuckerberg.

I’ll refrain myself from making some jokes on this story.

Saturday Night Live, The Social Network and Mark Zuckerberg.

very — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 05:39:59 +0000

I would like to say that I have not watched Saturday Night Live in 10 something years, I only checked facebook once a week or less and I have not seen The Social Network. I would also like to say that I was involved in the making of The Social Network, a small role in the production.

Apparently Mark Zuckerberg is making a cameo on Saturday Night Live with Jesse Eisenberg as host. How do I know that? Twitter. Wired.com said so.

Recap:

Have not watched Saturday Night Live in years.
Have not watched The Social Network even though I did some work for the production.
Have a Facebook account, but not really active on it.

I guess I won’t be talking about this Saturday Night Live when other people do (that’s you, Leo Laporte and TWiT).

“This is why you can’t have nice things, Iranian Government!”

CBS news reported that Iranian Government appeared to have succesfully blocked access to Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Maybe they would get rid off all modern technologies and go back to the 13th Century. Before you do that dear Iranian Government, please let the Iranians who value progress and advancement out of your obsolete way of thinking. Here’s what you should do. Get everyone who have the same ideal like you do into the same area and built walls to surround you. Keep everyone else out, I can surely say that the world will leave you be.
