You can't block Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook
“The title of this post kind of says it all. As pointed out by blockzuck.com, you can block anyone on Facebook except CEO Mark Zuckerberg. This kind of thing is funny, and adds a little personality to the site. But Facebook is getting way too big and culturally important for things like this to continue.” — Tech Crunch

Someone created a Facebook "Meh" button
From the department of “holy crap, why didn’t I think of this first”, The Atlantic Wire had a fantastic idea in which Facebook should add a “Meh” button. This is a neat idea because right now, we can either “Like” or “Dislike” our friends stuff, but there isn’t an official way to say “I don’t care ‘bout this”, but finally those crafty guys over at PubNub have created that very button, which you can install for free.

Then they brute force through Facebook’s login exploit to match the user info with the corresponding email address, even when users have configured their accounts to make that information private.

I want to know, if you could see a 50’s ad for a modern online service, what would it be? 4chan counts (I guess).

Video - First Full Length Trailer for "The Social Network"
Listening to a school choir belt out “Creep” by Radiohead, and watch as Facebook gets lifted out of the internet and into theaters makes me wonder: Is this going to be the first movie of its kind?
