I've never had a facebook account I've used, and as such I am slightly annoyed when I see the little 'like' buttons everywhere.

[Omegastick]

I quite like the Facebook/Twitter integration into things. I use both: Facebook for keeping in touch with friends (none of them use email) and Twitter for... I really don't know what, it's just amusing to read people's tweets. The little 'like' buttons aren't intrusive and are easy to ignore (plus I've changed my Facebook to pirate language so they say 'Arr!' which is, in it's own way, quite entertaining) and I even occasionally click on them.

Had an account for some months now.
I check it every few days, just to discover that nothing interesting did happen and to delete people from my friendlist.

Meh, people in my class insisted that I got one and I thought that I could meet some interesting people (inland and aboard).
Been a waste of time so far. Wouldn't have missed out on anything, if I hadn't gotten one.

At the bottom right is says language (or translations, or something similar to that). Click on that and click on the drop down (up) menu, 'English (Pirate)' it's right below Eesti.

Why would you want to remove a grub? They remove dead tissue and stuff.

[Blank Expression]

Yep. That's why I've locked my FB account down to pretty nothing. I don't want and/or need FB to recommend me things. I do not need to provide ad data when I'm not even using FB. Twitter is about as useless as tits on a bull, yet it gets appended to anything with an internet connection.

The claim of Twitter being "useless" is interesting, juxtaposed against its current role in the Tunisian and Egyptian protests. Among plenty of others.

The inclusion of FB and/or Twitter in any game product pretty much tells me the company in charge is desperate for exposure. I'm sure on paper it seems like a good idea. In practice I don't think it really generates them much additional money. It just serves as an entry point for everyone else to make a buck.

It's increased my company's click-through and response rate by over 40%. It does work.

What I've noticed is that FB and Twitter are beginning to appear in news articles almost every day.  Not just little articles, either.  They're on the front page most days of the week, at least on the New York Times, which I read every weekday.  Heck, they mentioned facebook twice and twitter once on the main article about the Egyptian riots, on the front page alone.

This is an ominous omen.  Major social reprogramming is in motion, right now, the depth of which we won't realize for a while yet.

I tend to agree.  It's part of the reason I avoid those sites.

I hate this integration. I don't want Facebook spying on everything I do so that it can learn what I like and then sell that info, (which is why I don't have an account) and I don't like the annoying little icons, especially since I don't use them.

Ghostery (firefox extension, probably also has a chrome version) seems to snip most of the little icons out nicely.

I tried that. It doesn't work that well, and AdBlock Plus has a near-identical function.

Here you go guys.

Here you go guys.

Thanks, but what do I do with an .xpi file?

[ToonyMan]

Install it?  I remember when I opened it in Firefox it did everything for me.  Don't save the file, open it.

[Bouchart]

It seems to be working.  Apparently I had to select Firefox as the program to open it with.
