BA on FB? OMG!

submit to reddit

So all my loyal droogs know I have a Facebook account. If you have one, add me!

But BABloggee Tomas Vorobjov has taken the next step: he’s created an app which you can install on your FB sidebar which will display synopses from the last few posts on the BABlog.

I try to avoid most Facebooks apps because they seem useless, or worse, clutter up my page. But how can I resist this one? Now, a warning: don’t let this distract you from actually coming to the site! If you go to the site itself you can comment on the posts, and I encourage that. Join the club!

Speaking of which, I see that Brian Cox has a Facebook page now too. How soon will it be before he passes me in number of friends? I bet like a week. Sigh.

Edited (June 23) to add: I got back from TAM 6 to find 400+ friend requests! Wow!

    Facebook is evil. ¬_¬
    Myspace is evil…

    And hopefully they’ll go away in the dark like Livejournal did!

    Uhh… I thought we were all adults here. You don’t have to resort to spelling out words “BA on FB? OMG!” Just say what you mean. If you’re trying to cover up using “bad” words by spelling, I’m on to your trick. I’m going to check with my spell checker and see just what you are trying to sneek past me.

    Hmmm, it’s hard to compete with a guy who can put Rockstar and High Energy Physisist working at LHC in the occupation field, that’s like a million cool points.

    But you’re still our shiny star, “The” Phil Plait.

    What’s facebook?

  16. 16.   quasidog Says:

    John, facebook is just another ‘myspace’ thing where people compete to see how many friends they have and type messages that nobody reads.

    BTW, didn’t Brian Cox have a facebook page a fair while back, not just recently ?

  17. 17.   Cal H Says:

    quasidog, that’s not true. I read those messages I send to myself all the time! And I’ve got so many myspace friends I’m about to cause an integer overflow.

    Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go cry myself to sleep.
