Following our report of the Mr. Men & Little Miss tagging meme, we decided to create our own “tag your friends” collage called “My Facebook Peeps”. We based it on the popular Bud Luxury Ducks created by Designroom, so the credit for the designer bath duck images goes to them.

Photo Phonebook is a free iPhone app that syncs your phone’s contacts with their Facebook profile pictures. Once you have installed the app via iTunes, you need to open it and create a Photo Phonebook account.

This is thinking out of the (Update Status) box!

Paul has put words into action and wrote a script that actually covers the Facebook sidebar with duct tape without your screen getting sticky.

Facebook yesterday released the Comments Box, its first official social widget for Facebook Connect. With the Comments Box, Facebook users on your site can comment on your content, post those comments to their profiles, and share them with their friends on Facebook. But its first version doesn’t come bugless…

This is basic Facebook 101, but I’m sure that most of you have -at least one time- hit the maximum length of a status update. A Facebook status update is limited to 160 characters (including spaces). This equals the maximum number of characters of an SMS or mobile text message.

It might seem odd to start a new, Facebook-oriented blog with an “I hate Facebook” post, but that’s us. We actively and voluntarily indulge in facebookness while being critical enough to notice its flaws. That, and because this video by Julian Smith from Nashville, Tennessee is just sheer comedy.
