Reasons number (2π+f) not to like Facebook, contact-exporting tools are blocked.

Facebook is apparently blocking contact-exporting tool as reported by CNET and ZDNet. Does anyone remember when you first created a Facebook account, you were asked to upload your address book, be it from Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, etc? That’s one way Facebook created a tailored Social Network around you. In time you want to export all the contacts info from Facebook to other service such as the newly launched Google+, Facebook is saying no.

I do not know the details on Facebook contact-exporting policy because I got rid off my account a while ago. This is one more reason why I’m glad I no longer have a Facebook account.

Saturday Night Live, The Social Network and Mark Zuckerberg.

I would like to say that I have not watched Saturday Night Live in 10 something years, I only checked facebook once a week or less and I have not seen The Social Network. I would also like to say that I was involved in the making of The Social Network, a small role in the production.

Apparently Mark Zuckerberg is making a cameo on Saturday Night Live with Jesse Eisenberg as host. How do I know that? Twitter. Wired.com said so.

Recap:

  • Have not watched Saturday Night Live in years.
  • Have not watched The Social Network even though I did some work for the production.
  • Have a Facebook account, but not really active on it.

I guess I won’t be talking about this Saturday Night Live when other people do (that’s you, Leo Laporte and TWiT).
