Alright, I can totally get the whole Snuggie thing. As embarrassed as I am to admit it, I not only own one, but I use it regularly and love the hell out of it. But, dude, Twilight, for real?
We’ve already seen what it would take to make Twilight interesting, and it ain’t pretty.
This is just a bit creepy, no? Facebook will keep the page of a deceased user active as long as the family wishes to memorialize the deceased. These memorial pages will be different from normal profiles. All contact information will be removed and people will be barred from logging into the account.
The only users who will be able to find these profiles in search are the users confirmed friends. These profiles will also no longer appear in the “Suggestions” section.
Facebook has had the same basic design for at least a few years now. There have been small changes along the way, but for the most part, the last few years for Facebook have remained pretty standard — news feed, images and link sharing. Some might say if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, but artist Barton Smith is under the impression that the social network needs an entire facelift, let alone an update.
Smith took it upon himself to redesign Facebook’s UI, imagining a site with a slick UI, compared to the current site built around the minimalist news feed.
Facebook has been going all Big Brother on us, tracking our emotions and plotting it on their Giant Happiness Index of Death, without OUR PERMISSION! I’ll be suing, but more on that later. Interestingly enough, the saddest day of the past few years wasn’t Michael Jackson’s death. No, that was only our second lowest point. We were even worse off on January 22, 2008, the day of Heath Ledger’s death and the subsequent Asian stock market crash, which no doubt happened because of Ledger’s death in the first place.
Our happiest moments are holiday’s such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Happiness nearly doubled on Election Day with the presidential victory of President Obama, proving once and for all that Facebook is run by a vast liberal conspiracy.
Don’t forget to join us on Facebook and share how miserable you are!
Hey… it works for guidos right?

Hey y’all. I don’t want to start shoving social networking promotion down your throats (wouldn’t want you to gag now) but we here at Gearfuse love to keep in contact with our readers so we’d really love for you to connect! Here is where you can find us on two of the biggest social sites around:
Twitter: http://twitter.com/gearfuse Follow us here!
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gearfuse/140806972049?ref=ts Become a GEARhead!
Looking forward to hearing from all of you weirdos!
Only an hour before I predicted, people are already starting to freak out about not having the MMS update appear in iTunes yet, despite AT&T’s insistence that the update will appear in mid-afternoon for us Easterners and late morning for the west coast.
Head over to AT&T’s Facebook page for a mildly entertaining look into the mind of geeks. Man… we are an angry breed.
Hey y’all. I know you probably just rolled out of bed or maybe just rolled into bed, depending on how dead-ass drunk you are, so this might not be the post you were looking for, but hey, it’s gotta be done!
We just wanted to let you know that Gearfuse has finally made the jump to Facebook. We’d love if all of you could become fans on our Facebook page. To do so, all you have to do is go to our Facebook page and click the “Become a fan” button. It’s that easy. And if you’re here reading this post, we can only assume that you have some sort of fandom, so please, give us a few seconds of your time!
We’ll try to make it worth your while by holding some awesome conversations about all things geeky. Thanks peeps. We love you all. Really.
According to BGR, this screenshot taken from Facebook shows the upcoming social networking interaction offered by iTunes 9, expected to be announced at Apple’s September 9, 2009 special event.
While the screenshot clearly shows notifications for new songs added to the iTunes library and the creation of a playlist, I wonder how far Apple has gone with the social interaction. Will we be able to share the tracks we are currently listening too?
I’m pretty sure the consensus is that most people don’t need another reminder to use social media sites. They already take up so much of our time. But how could you possibly resist this Social Media Watch, despite the encouragement it provides for procrastinating more important projects.
Featuring all of the major networks, including Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and so on. Each of the 12 digits have been replaced with the logos of your favorite networking sites. You can grab yours for about $18.
