The folks at OkCupid have analyzed over 7000 profile picture on their dating site and compared the image content to the friend requests these profiles were attracting. Facebook’s not a pure-blooded dating site, but it helps many of us get in touch with old and new loves.

We have a weak spot for marketing campaigns that connect to your Facebook account and integrate your content into their creatives. Earlier this week we mentioned the Death Star Superlaser application by adidas, and today’s example, coming from no other than Facebook’s older rival MySpace, amazed us even more!

Welcome to The Facebook, a station built by the DHARMA Initiative to research how plane crash survivors update their Facebook profiles while living on a mysterious island. Here’s a log of their most recent status updates.

Stand aside action and excitement. There’s a new Sheriff in town and his name is…

If you’re a webmaster or blogger and recently, like me, noticed an FB.Loader error when browsing your website in Internet Explorer, then this fix is for you.

Today in a galaxy not so far, far away…
I’m not going into much detail on this one ─it would spoil all the fun─ but to celebrate the release of their exclusive Star Wars collection, sports apparel manufacturer adidas has built a Facebook application that lets you blow up yourself or your Facebook friends using the deadliest weapon of every galaxy, …

Here we have Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Fallon and the other “late” night show hosts discussing NBC’s ongoing late night war.

Got moustache? Facial hair is cool, it’s hip ─everyone in Williamsburg (Brooklyn, NY) has it─ and it makes you look older wiser. But if you happen to be a kid, a woman or Right Said Fred, it can be hard to go with the hipster flow. Don’t worry, we got you covered!

In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s Wayback Week (aka Throwback Week) on Facebook. Why? Maybe it’s like the bra color status updates, but now to raise awareness for growing old? Or maybe it’s just plain old fun.

You know you’re doing the social media marketing thing wrong when even your biggest fans start throwing dirt at you. Let this be a lesson for the marketing team behind Blur, the recently reunited British rock band: do not ask Facebook users to go and spam Twitter.

The feature has been available beneath the surface for a while, but today Facebook is officially launching the ability to directly participate in Facebook conversations by replying to e-mail notifications. Without the need to visit facebook.com at all, you can now instantly comment from within your inbox.

So have you update your status today with the color of your bra? Or are you male and raising awareness for prostate cancer by posting the color of your boxers?
