Exclusive: Mark Zuckerberg in His Own Words

April 4, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook is now an adult, but how would he describe himself at 15? We have an exclusive description found on a long-abandoned webpage of the tech prodige. See this long lost, hilarious childhood photo as well.

 

Hi, my name is…Slim Shady. No, really, my name is Slim Shady. Just kidding, my name is Mark (for those of you that don’t know me) and I live in a small town near the massive city of New York. I am currently 15 years old and I just finished freshman year in high school. I have remodeled this website in an attempt that perhaps some search engine will recognize it. I am trying to promote my new AOL Program, The Vader Fader, which you can download elsewhere on this site. It is a decent fader. If you have any comments about this website, the java applets on it, or the Vader Fader which I am trying to promote, please contact me. My E-Mail address is at the bottom of this page.

How To Post a Blank Facebook Comment

March 3, 2013 By Leave a Comment

We recently wrote a tutorial for posting blank facebook status updates, and everyone wanted to know “How can I post a blank comment?”. So, now we’re doing a followup tutorial on that.

Unlike the status update, Facebook doesn’t directly allow blank comments, so we have to use a little workaround. Right now this is only for PCs, but we’ll update this as soon as we have a Mac solution.

What we’re going to do is essentially create a blank character not classified as a space, which allows you to hit send without any words.

Steps to the facebook comment space:

  1. Find a place you’d like to comment.
  2. Press the num lock button on your keyboard. It’s normally in the upper left-hand corner of your num pad.
  3. Hold down your computer’s alt key, and listen closely on this next step.
  4. While holding the alt key, type in the number 0173 using your num pad. If you use the regular numbers, IT WON’T WORK. So do it right.
  5. Hit enter, submit your comment, and you’ve got a completely white comment. You can add as many lines as you’d like by simply repeating the steps with a combo shift-enter in between to add lines.

Enjoy responsibly. Speaking of comments, leave a comment below this post. And help us out by sharing this with all your friends, or at least liking/tweeting this.

Facebook Gifts… For That Occasion When You Have NO Other Option

February 10, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Lemon Cake or Carrot Cake? Both suck. Go for the chocolate

Remember that kid who got you a stapler for your 8th birthday? It’s the thought that counts…but a stapler? Facebook is trying to bring bad gift giving like this into the mainstream with their new gifts feature. For the day I’m just going to ignore tech talk so that we can get into the thick of this from a real person’s perspective. Read on for the details.

*Something that will blow your mind: Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook IS NOT A Social Network!

Let’s Look At Facebook’s Gift Suggestions

  • Lemon Cake: Lemon cake? Who the heck gives lemon cake as a gift? First of all, cake is not a gift. It’s a dessert at the end of your birth day to celebrate that special time of the year. Secondly, LEMON? I’m a chocoholic and it simply doesn’t make sense to me. What percentage of people would choose lemon over chocolate?
  • Switchblade Mustache Comb: I totally need this (is what the one guy with a mustache that is still stuck in the ’60s said)! I used to love switchblade combs when I would get them for a dollar a piece at the arcade…at the age of six. I’m not saying this appeals to no one, but I’ll point out that this was a girl that was having her birthday. Not sure how many women need a mustache comb switchblade.
  • Protein Bakery Cookies: This actually isn’t too bad alone. I have plenty of health-conscious friends who would buy this. Are birthdays not about indulgence though? We don’t want to eat healthy on our birthday. It’s even been psychologically proven. So it’s just not something I would ever give as a gift, especially for a birthday.

Good idea…Poor Execution

Facebook did have some winners. They suggested Starbucks giftcards, which are fantastic, very useful gifts, and they also offered non-healthy customizable birthday cookies. These gifts show that there is potential with the right execution. There were some great suggestions for the holidays, and early reports indicate that they had moderate success with gifts beta over the holidays.

The thing is. They should be carefully monitoring what they’re offering to whom. They’ve proven with their ad platform that they can sort by demographic very specifically, so they should have it down to a science who sees what gifts. They should be controlling their gift selection as tightly as Apple controls their app store. Keep it on a short chain, and make sure that every person who sees the gift screen is tempted to buy something.

But that’s just my two cents. What do you think of Facebook’s gift feature? Also… Should Facebook Hire Teenage Girls? Read and Decide
