You know, facebook, you keep this up, users will eventually leave... Really. myspace probably never thought it would happen to them, either.

-----------------

Facebook's new system for connecting together the web seems to have a serious privacy hole, a web developer has discovered.

Some people report that they are able to see the public "events" that Facebook users have said they will attend – even if they person is not a "friend" on the social network.

whitehouse.gov moves to drupal

Submitted by lcadmin on Mon, 04/26/2010 - 17:25
Obama's campaign site was running Expression Engine... interesting to see this move to opensource. (yay! opensource.... altho' I do have a special spot in my heart for EE, it's where I cut my CMS teeth... where I began to be brave enough to contribute solutions to a public forum ... LOL)Last week, WhiteHouse.gov announced its release of custom code developed during its first six months of Drupal implementation for WhiteHouse.gov.

Tightening down your facebook privacy

Submitted by lcadmin on Fri, 04/23/2010 - 12:40
As part of making the web more "social", Facebook recently announced a whole slew of changes in April 2010. In addition to that, some new things popped up under privacy... so you might want to take a look. For one, it now looks like you can control who sees your gaming activity to a greater extent (my non-gaming fb friends, I know you are tired of me begging for help to raise a bigger barn....). I am excited about that one and I'm not sure how recent this one actually is.

More facebook changes (includes privacy)

Submitted by lcadmin on Wed, 04/21/2010 - 17:47
This is being reported from the facebook developers conference today (I'm condensing...) -- no mention of privacy as this is geared towards those writing applications:

The most important mechanism is the [new] like button. No dialog, no login....By lowering the friction, we’ll dramatically increase sharing. Little friction, just an iframe. No register with Facebook, no nothing. Just the iframe. ....We know who the user is. Even if we’ve never visited CNN before, if four of my friends like that article, I’ll see their names.
