Facebook is actually becoming ridiculous…

30/06/2009

Facebook is actually becoming ridiculous with notification settings. I have changed my settings to OFF probably 4 times in the last 2 months. Today I started receiving notifications from Facebook in my email inbox.

Let me explain this to someone, anyone, as explicitly as I can. I DO NOT WANT FACEBOOK NOTIFICATIONS IN MY INBOX. EVER. EVER. EVER.

Below are two screenshots, the first is what Facebook changed my notification settings to and the next is afterwards, my settings. Click the images to see fullscreen (and take note of the date).


Please keep in mind that I had turned off ALL of the above notifications with one exception: Birthday notifications. Above, numerous options have been changed without my consent.

Could someone please explain to me what …

23/06/2009

Could someone please explain to me what it matters if I change my twitter avatar to a shade of green? Apparently this is going to make a difference to someone in Iran, but I have my doubts. I have seen a few people I follow on twitter doing it and noticed a few tweets about it.

I just can’t understand the damn relevance. The people of Iran don’t care, they aren’t looking or watching and the green avatar you are now sporting is not going to change the world, in fact I think that these green avatars are way to appear cool. And it bugs me.

It might just be my opinion but that’s OK with me. It just gets under my skin when I begin to feel guilted in to doing something as meaningless as changing the colour of my picture on twitter to a shade of green.
