For those of you that are fans of the Vimeo player, you’ll be happy to know that they are almost done with a new Facebook application. Here’s a video highlighting some of the new features. You can also check out their roadmap page for more screenshots.
Earlier this week I had the opportunity to attend the Facebook developer garage in Austin. At the event Zuckerberg had a Q & A with a number of the developers that were present as well as a few other people. It went much smoother than the interview from the previous day and Zuckerberg actually joked about that at the onset. The video shows that Zuckerberg has become much more comfortable with public appearances. Take a look:
Since the keynote interview between Mark Zuckerberg and Sarah Lacy yesterday, everybody has been talking about what went wrong as well as what went right. I was approached by one blogger yesterday after my post went up claiming that it was a cultural misunderstanding and that my post was unfair. I still stand by much of what I said and by definition I think the interview was not a good one as a result of the mob mentality that ensued following the interview.
Regardless, I’m sure that this will be one of the more memorable stories of SXSW this year. After running around all of Austin looking for good internet service, I finally found some today in the journalist lounge at the event. I was able to upload a copy of the video that I recorded. There is about one minute missing from the end of the video but the majority of what went on happened prior to the last minute. Watch the video for yourself and let me know if you think this was a good or bad interview.
Viddler has not set the ratio on this video properly and I will be posting an updated version but at least you can watch and listen for now.
This morning one of my readers sent me an email alerting me to a new Facebook video on YouTube. I wasn’t initially going to post anything but this video has attracted over 20,000 views and I have a feeling that it may just go viral. While it’s nowhere near as good as the bubble video, it is definitely interesting. I just wonder if this is an accurate portrayal of the majority or if it’s a select few. Are you tired of Facebook?

Facebook has definitely become a major part of society and now there are music videos about Facebook applications. One reader sent me the following video about the Scrabulous application and their issues with Mattel:
Today’s Wallstrip video is about Facebook. Lindsay doesn’t appear to be a big fan of the site thanks to all the ex-boyfriends that are hounding her on the site. Too bad you can’t buy stock in the insanely popular website. Howard Lindzon doesn’t think it’s such a hot site anymore. He’s “apathetic.”
The following video explains an observation I’ve made over that past week that could prove to be the exact methodology Microsoft is using to behaviorally target ads to users across the net based on Facebook Pages usage. We’d like confirmation on this if possible, so please watch the vid, and observe your own Facebook Page usage, and watch for any corresponding ads on non-facebook websites.
Today, Fox News, the most objective news site on the planet, posted a gallery of girls that had posted drunk photos of themselves. Where did they post those photos? On Facebook of course! There are close to 5,000 photos now posted in a group called “30 Reasons Girls Should Call it A Night.” Trying to get a job a few years from now? Soon enough your boss will be checking to see if your photos show up in this group.
Close to 5,000 photos have been posted to the group so far and a few videos were also posted. If you want to find an easy way to incriminate yourself or your friends, I’d suggest getting a good picture of them after a few drinks and posting them in this group or a similar one. I knew that people enjoyed putting pictures of them after a few drinks but I didn’t realize the extent of it.
One issue with this group is that a large portion of these photos are of girls that are in high school. Parents: if your child is in high school and you want to know if they are up to no good, simply take a look at their profile because apparently they are willing to share everything with the world on there. Children: try to avoid having your parents join Facebook if you want to avoid getting in trouble! Alternatively, don’t post photos of yourself puking in a bucket. It’s probably not a good idea. Just for fun I decided to share some of the incriminating photos with you all. Check out the video below!
