Yes, I love calling Facebook the Twitter and FriendFeed killer but I seriously think they may have one-upped the competition on their latest release: the Live Feed. You can sit and watch in real-time what is taking place with your friends across their profiles in an unfiltered manner. This is [...]

A blog post today to Facebook developers highlighted that they have yet to remove infinite sessions and also that all users are slated to have access to the new profile in "mid-September", a little behind schedule for Facebook. The new Facebook profile roll-out has taken significantly longer for Facebook but [...]

If you are more interested in what your friends are up to then what photos they are uploading and what their relationship status, you may be pleased to hear that Facebook has upgraded your friends' statuses. Now rather than just showing recent friend activities, the most recent status updates of [...]

This is one thing I wasn't expecting to pop-up in my inbox. This morning I received an email about an application called "Love Bunnies". What exactly is a love bunny? Well apparently it is a fairly robust vibrator. How do you get one? Well you have to go install the [...]

Last week Law.com published an article highlighting a lawsuit filed by Facebook's lawyers "against Adam Guerbuez, accusing the Canadian man of hijacking users' accounts, impersonating them to send more than 4 million messages in March and April that market 'offensive' and 'embarrassing' products such as marijuana and penis enlargement pills."

This evening I was browsing Facebook and stumbled upon the following ad that I've pictured on the left. The ad displays one of my friends and a book advertisement suggesting that somehow the two things are correlated. The only problem? They aren't! If you take a look at my friend [...]

There's a pretty well known secret among top Facebook application developers: one developer is generating over $1 million a month. Who is that developer exactly? Well, most people won't talk about it and after some prodding around we've narrowed down the suspects. We aren't going to post them though because [...]

This evening, Facebook announced a new set of demographic targeting features that will enable developers to limit users that view specific content. Developers may limit viewership based on age and location. With these restrictions comes a policy update which enables alcoholic beverages to be promoted. As the blog post today [...]

Facebook made some minor changes to the homepage last night with one substantial change which is the removal of quick links to Facebook created applications (notes, videos and photos).

One of the primary issues facing consumers in the digital era is control of their private data. Yesterday I wrote about the Peter Jennings special “No Place to Hide” which covered a lot of the issues facing consumers. The reality is that munch of our transactional data is already tracked [...]

I think I'm way behind on this but today when searching for Facebook's advanced search feature, I ended up empty handed. The new search page only displays search by name, school and company. Previously Facebook enabled users to use the advanced search utility to find people by practically all areas [...]

I'm happy to announce a great list of speakers for the upcoming Social Ad Summit. We will be announcing more speakers in the coming week (a few which I'm personally extremely excited about) but I wanted to provide an update. We just recently began sending out invitations to the event [...]

Last night Facebook rolled out a new feature to the newsfeed which enables users to filter the stories that are displayed. You can select to display only stories from specific applications or specific friend lists. This is an interesting feature but I'm not sure that it does all that is [...]

One of the lacking features of the Facebook platform is the inability to modify groups and events from within applications. Eventually I also think it would be useful to add application support to actual event and group pages but for now developers have been granted the ability to create, modify [...]

Facebook has launched a sponsored video ad offering as displayed in the image below. The videos display on the right hand side of the homepage in the area that Facebook announced would have sponsors when the site was redesigned. The only thing that the company failed to mention was that [...]
